standardlastprofile: BDEW Standard Load Profiles for Electricity and Gas

Provides representative standard load profiles (SLPs) for electricity and gas published by the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V.) in a tidy format. The electricity profiles cover the 1999 profiles — households (H0), commercial (G0–G6), and agriculture (L0–L2) — and the updated 2025 profiles (H25, G25, L25, P25, S25), which additionally represent households with photovoltaic systems and battery storage. An interface generates an electricity load profile over a user-defined date range. A second interface generates daily gas load profiles using the BDEW/VKU/GEODE synthetic 'SigLinDe' procedure from daily temperatures and a customer value ('Kundenwert'). The 1999 data and methodology are described in VDEW (1999), "Repräsentative VDEW-Lastprofile", <https://www.bdew.de/media/documents/1999_Repraesentative-VDEW-Lastprofile.pdf>. The electricity generation algorithm is described in VDEW (2000), "Anwendung der Repräsentativen VDEW-Lastprofile step-by-step", <https://www.bdew.de/media/documents/2000131_Anwendung-repraesentativen_Lastprofile-Step-by-step.pdf>. The 2025 profiles are described in BDEW (2025), "Standardlastprofile Strom", <https://www.bdew.de/energie/standardlastprofile-strom/>. The gas procedure is described in BDEW (2025), "Standardlastprofile Gas", <https://www.bdew.de/energie/standardlastprofile-gas/>.
