Estimating required sample size for energy study

In the energy sector, researchers are often tasked with evaluating the effectiveness of new technologies or initiatives to enhance energy efficiency or reduce consumption. A study is being designed to compare the impact of two energy-saving measures: "Smart Thermostats" and "LED Lighting". To ensure the study has sufficient power to detect a meaningful difference in energy savings between these two measures, you'll conduct a power analysis.

pandas as pd, numpy as np, and from statsmodels.stats.power import TTestIndPower are loaded.
