In the MIRABEL project, a data management system for a smart grid
is developed to enable smarter scheduling of energy consumption such that, e.g.,
charging of car batteries is done during night when there is an overcapacity of
green energy from windmills etc. Energy can then be requested by means of flexoffers
which define flexibility with respect to time, amount, and/or price. In this
paper, we describe MIRABEL DW, a data warehouse (DW) for the management
of the large amounts of complex energy data in MIRABEL. We present a unified
schema that can manage data both at the level of the entire electricity network
and at the level of individual nodes, such as a single consumer node. The schema
has a number of complexities compared to typical DW schemas. These include
facts about facts and composed non-atomic facts and unified handling of different
kinds of flex-offers and time series. We also discuss alternative data modeling
strategies and present typical queries from the energy domain and a performance
study.
