The first feature implemented was to display the UK national electricity demand on the live graph. This can either be displayed by itself, or overlaid on the same graph as your personal CurrentCost live data.
Start the graph from: Download data --> Show live national electricity demand National electricity supply vs demand
The latest feature implemented is to display the UK national electricity supply vs demand on the live graph. This can either be displayed by itself, or overlaid on the same graph as your personal CurrentCost live data.
Start the graph from: Download data --> Show live National Grid supply vs demand ImplementationThe data is obtained by screen-scaping http://www.nationalgrid.com You can see http://www.nationalgrid.com/uk/Electricity/Data/Realtime/Demand/Demand60.htm for their own representation. Screen-scraping is naturally a somewhat brittle approach - any changes to the National Grid website will break the app. However, it's an interesting data source while it's available. |
