This text describes the data presented in the paper: ''Optimising Building-to-Building and Buildings-for-Grid Services in Residential Microgrids: A Robust Rolling Horizon Approach''

========================

Data included hereby are the following:

1) Starting time and ending time of building appliances
2) Duration of tasks and the power consumed by each one
3) Parameters of ESS, CHP, PV, HP
4) Electricicty cost at the first time interval
5) Outside temperature and illuminance leve at the first time interval
6) PV output at the first time interval
7) Other parameters

--------------------------
Explain the relationship between multiple data sets, if required:
N/A
--------------------------
Key words used to describe the data:
Active  building  (AB),  robust  rolling  horizon(RRH),  building-to-building  (B2B),  building-for-Grid  (B4G).

Methodological information
==========================
A brief method description – what the data is, how and why it was collected or created, and how it was processed:

The data represents the timing of appliances for 10 UK type houses in the paper ''Optimising Building-to-Building and Buildings-for-Grid Services in Residential Microgrids: A Robust Rolling Horizon Approach''
These data are utilized in a mixed integer linear programing (MILP) model for the aforementioned paper and simulated in General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) software package (https://www.gams.com/).
Data provided in this data repository are directly imported to the mixed integer linear programing (MILP) Model outputs produced by the software General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS).
