Contextualising Water Use in Residential Settings: A Survey of Non-Intrusive Techniques and Approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water monitoring in households is important to ensure the sustainability of fresh water reserves on our planet. It provides stakeholders with the statistics required to formulate optimal strategies in residential water management. However, this should not be prohibitive and appliance-level water monitoring cannot practically be achieved by deploying sensors on every faucet or water-consuming device of interest due to the higher hardware costs and complexity, not to mention the risk of accidental leakages that can derive from the extra plumbing needed. Machine learning and data mining techniques are promising techniques to analyse monitored data to obtain non-intrusive water usage disaggregation. This is because they can discern water usage from the aggregated data acquired from a single point of observation. This paper provides an overview of water usage disaggregation systems and related techniques adopted for water event classification. The state-of-the art of algorithms and testbeds used for fixture recognition are reviewed and a discussion on the prominent challenges and future research are also included.

متن کاملNon-intrusive disaggregation of water consumption data in a residential household
The water conservation campaigns in residential households are hindered by the poor understanding of residents of how much water they use. For the better designed interventions new tools are necessary to educate the consumers on the water usage of different consumption events. In this paper we use the fine grained (0.5 Hz) water consumption data that was collected nonintrusively in a household ...
