What is hyperGrid?

A read-only research dashboard for a reproducible synthetic Irish grid dataset. Every value is traceable to its class; synthetic fallbacks are labelled, not hidden.

hyperGrid presents SYNTH_GRID_IE: weather-driven hourly import, export, PV, heat-pump, EV and net demand for a 1% representative building sample (2022–2023), expanded to a national view. The platform covers building-sector and data-centre electricity only — approximately 88% of national consumption (~27.3 TWh/yr modelled at run8), not the full ~31.6 TWh national total. Design direction is “control-room calm”: dense, legible panels with provenance as a first-class visual element.

Built for honest synthetic data

Three principles carried from the dataset’s no-fabrication standard into the interface.

Provenance before polish

Every number is reachable in one interaction: REAL, CALIBRATED, SYNTHETIC or COMPUTED, with source anchors from the SYNTH_GRID_IE lineage register.

Scope honesty by default

National-style totals always carry the ~88% scope qualifier — modelled building and data-centre sectors, not headline “national electricity demand.”

Reproducible & read-only

Pre-aggregated rollups only; global_seed 20240101 and run8 build context on the Provenance page. No per-request queries against the 437M-row hourly file.
