standardlastprofile: BDEW Standard Load Profiles for Electricity

Provides representative standard load profiles (SLPs) for electricity published by the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e.V.) in a tidy format. Covers the 1999 profiles — households (H0), commerce (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. Also provides an interface for generating a standard load profile over a user-defined date range. 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 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/>.
