“…This can be alleviated by performing fine-grained measurements at the cost of an increased data storage rate and more complex data analytics. It is then possible to calculate features such as the harmonics [9] and frequency components [10] from the steadystate and transient behavior of the current and voltage signal. More recently, the possibility to consider voltage-current (VI) trajectories has also been considered [11], [12], [13], [14].…”

Abstract-Non-intrusive load monitoring methods aim to disaggregate the total power consumption of a household into individual appliances by analysing changes in the voltage and current measured at the grid connection point of the household. The goal is to identify the active appliances, based on their unique fingerprint. This information can be communicated to the electricity provider and the end-user enabling the potential of smart grids. An informative characteristic to attain the appliance classification is the voltage-current trajectory. In this paper, this trajectory is represented as a binary image from which the contours are extracted. From these contours, the elliptic Fourier descriptors are calculated and used as input for several classification algorithms outputting the appliance name. Benchmarking this method on the PLAID dataset shows that the descriptors can yield a prediction accuracy up to 79%, comparable to the state-of-the-art, based on only a very compact representation (12 numbers).

“…This can be alleviated by performing higher frequency measurements at the cost of an increased data storage rate and more complex data analytics, i.e., the voltage and current signals sampled at a frequency higher than 1 Hz are measured. From these signals, features like the harmonics [3] and other frequency components [4] from the steady-state and transient behavior can be calculated. More recently, the possibility to consider voltage-current (VI) trajectories has also been considered [5]- [7].…”

Non-intrusive load monitoring detects active appliances in a household (and their power consumption) from measuring the aggregated power at just one point in that household. Our previous works focused on classifying a single appliance, assuming that the voltage and current trace could be isolated from an aggregated signal by considering the difference in current before and after the event. In this paper, we show that this assumption holds and that it is a viable approach in practice. We experimentally validate this for two classification methods we proposed earlier: (1) random forests using elliptical Fourier descriptors of the appliances' VI trajectories and (2) convolutional neural networks using the appliances' VI images. We benchmark these approaches on the aggregated data from the 2018 version of PLAID. We obtain, respectively for each of these classifiers, a maximal Fmacro-measure of 85.31% and 87.95 %. We also show that using submetered data for training does not improve the performance.

The macro-average F -measure is 77.60% for the PLAID dataset and 75.46% for the WHITED dataset.
