Figure 6.

Results for Scenario 1, showing the impact of time shifting window using our schema on peak-load reduction. The RMSE values show the deviation from a flat demand profile, with zero being peak-free. Partition networks were used, consisting of a hundred dwellings with neighbourhoods of size five (i.e., node degree $d=4$). The minima of the three shifted curves are indicated by arrows at $\alpha =0.050$, $\alpha =0.15$ and $\alpha =0.15$ for a shifting window of maximum of 3 h, 6 h and 12 h, respectively. Results obtained using other network topologies appear almost identical.
