The dataset originates from microgrid platform (MGP, https://www.microgrid-qehna.com/) located in QehnA lab (https://www.qehna.com/) of the National School of Engineers of Tunis (ENIT) and serves as a testbed for various energy-related studies. The platform includes two microgrids, namely Pla-NeTE and SMARTNESS. Pla-NeTE, which stands for Platform for investigations of New Technologies of the Energy is a microgrid platform, designed for the investigation of new energy technologies in the case of massive residential photovoltaics integration and its impact on the distribution network. On the other hand, SMARTNESS, which stands for Smart Micro-grid plAtfoRm wiTh aN Energy SyStem, is a laboratory-scale microgrid designed for the exploration of emerging energy technologies and associated concepts such as collective self-consumption and energy management systems. Both microgrids are connected to the low-voltage distribution network. The dataset comprises samples of electrical data collected from the microgrid platform. It offers a valuable resource for researchers and analysts to study real-world electrical data and gain insights into the microgrid's performance, encompassing aspects such as energy consumption, renewable energy generation, and energy storage systems while considering residential microgrid in Tunisia. The dataset primarily consists of electrical data samples recorded from both microgrids while considering different operating conditions. It provides a granular view of the microgrids’ real-time electrical performance according to given test procedure. This dataset does not encompass detailed information about the microgrid's physical structure or components, but these later can be found in the related publications. Researchers can use this data to analyse the microgrids’ operational patterns and performance in the context of electrical energy management. The dataset's applicability extends to various research areas, including residential load management, renewable energy integration, and power quality improvement.
