- Abstract
Energy consumption survey was carried out to obtain energy use patterns and in urban development area of Chongqing Electricity was the dominant energy source and rural households relied on multi-energy including electricity, gas, firewood, coal, solar to meet their need.. Based on the use patterns of different energy sources and electric appliances were analyzed based on the survey. One-min energy consumption data of electric appliances collected using energy monitor instruments were combined with use patterns to to establish the energy consumption model of rural households. Energy choices for households in rural area demonstrate diversity, however the daily use patterns of appliances were similar. The model could be used to predict energy consumption of rural households in urban development area of Chongqing.
