  "description": "# Solstice Residential Energy (VPP) Pack (Sample)\n\n**A high-fidelity synthetic dataset for residential energy transition and VPP operations.** This dataset simulates the lifecycle of residential solar and battery systems, including installation pipelines, daily generation/consumption telemetry, and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) dispatch events.\n\nBuilt by [Solstice AI Studio](https://www.solsticestudio.ai/datasets) as a free sample of a larger commercial pack. 100% synthetic \u2014 no real household or utility data.\n\n## What's in the box\n\nThis dataset consists of 16 interconnected tables covering:\n- **Asset Dimensions:** `households`, `solar_systems`, `battery_systems`, `utility_tariffs`\n- **Telemetry Fact Tables:** `daily_generation_consumption`\n- **Operational Events:** `outage_events`, `dispatch_events`, `service_tickets`\n- **VPP & Commercial:** `subscriber_contracts`, `vpp_program_enrollment`, `billing_and_savings`\n- **Growth & Marketing:** `installation_pipeline`, `channel_attribution`\n\n## Use Cases\n- **VPP Optimization:** Train RL agents to optimize battery dispatch during grid stress events.\n- **Grid Stability Research:** Model the impact of residential solar/storage on simulated grid outages.\n- **Customer Analytics:** Identify high-propensity households for VPP enrollment based on usage patterns.\n- **Financial Modeling:** Simulate savings and ROI for residential solar portfolios under different tariff structures.\n\n## Data Provenance\nGenerated using Solstice\u2019s PhantasOS / SIMA simulation engine. The simulation models physics-aligned generation (based on simulated weather seeds) and realistic household load profiles, alongside commercial contract logic.",
