Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) Performance Evaluation A unified approach for accuracy reporting

چکیده
Nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM), sometimes referred to as load disaggregation, is the process of determining what loads or appliances are running in a house from analysis of the power signal of the whole-house power meter. As the popularity of NILM grows, we find there is no consistent way researchers are measuring and reporting accuracies. In this short communication, we present a unified approach that would allow for consistent accuracy testing.

A Multiscale Transient Event Detector for Nonintrusive Load Monitoring
The nonintrusive load monitor (NILM) determines the operating schedule of the major electrical loads in a building from measurements made at the utility service entry. This paper describes a multiscale transient event detection algorithm that extends the applicability of the NILM to challenging commercial and industrial sites. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated with results from a ...
متن کاملEfficient Sparse Matrix Processing for Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (NILM)
Nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) is a process of discerning what appliances are running within a house from processing the power or current signal of a smart meter. Since appliance states are not observed directly, hidden Markov models (HMM) are a natural choice for modelling NILM appliances. However, because the number of HMM states grows rapidly with the number of appliances and their inte...

Nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) is a technique for deducing the power consumption and operational schedule of individual loads in a building from measurements of the overall voltage and current feeding it, using information and communication technologies. In this article, we review the potential of this technology to enhance residential electricity audits. First, we review the currently com...
متن کاملAn Accurate Method of Energy Use Prediction for Systems with Known Composition
An improved method of nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) using hidden Markov models is proposed. The proposed method is intended for electrical systems with a closed and known set of devices. Systems that meet this constraint are more commonly found in industrial or commercial contexts than the residential settings in which NILM is traditionally studied. The proposed method is designed to supp...

Device specific power consumption information leads to a high potential for energy savings. Smart meters are currently deployed in several countries, but they are only able to track the overall consumption in domestic and commercial buildings. One promising option to gain device specific information is called Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), which can be of great use in combination with sma...
