Energy is a limited resource which has to be managed wisely, taking into account both supply-demand matching and capacity constraints in the distribution grid. One aspect of the smart energy management at the building level is given by the…
With the help of smart metering valuable information of the appliance usage can be retrieved. In detail, non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), also called load disaggregation, tries to identify appliances in the power draw of an household.…
In this work, a method for unsupervised energy disaggregation in private households equipped with smart meters is proposed. This method aims to classify power consumption as active or passive, granting the ability to report on the…
Individual device loads and energy consumption feedback is one of the important approaches for pursuing users to save energy in residences. This can help in identifying faulty devices and wasted energy by devices when left On unused. The…
To reduce energy demand in households it is useful to know which electrical appliances are in use at what times. Monitoring individual appliances is costly and intrusive, whereas data on overall household electricity use is more easily…
Residential homes constitute roughly one-fourth of the total energy usage worldwide. Providing appliance-level energy breakdown has been shown to induce positive behavioral changes that can reduce energy consumption by 15%. Existing…
Non-intrusive load monitoring or energy disaggregation involves estimating the power consumption of individual appliances from measurements of the total power consumption of a home. Deep neural networks have been shown to be effective for…
Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) or energy disaggregation aims to extract the load profiles of individual consumer electronic appliances, given an aggregate load profile of the mains of a smart home. This work proposes a novel…
This paper provides a formalization of the energy disaggregation problem for particle swarm optimization and shows the successful application of particle swarm optimization for disaggregation in a multi-tenant commercial building. The…
To mitigate global climate change, distributed energy resources (DERs), such as distributed generators, flexible loads, and energy storage systems (ESSs), have witnessed rapid growth in power distribution systems. When properly managed,…
The housing structures have changed with urbanization and the growth due to the construction of high-rise buildings all around the world requires end-use appliance energy conservation and management in real-time. This shift also came along…
Most electricity systems worldwide are deploying advanced metering infrastructures to collect relevant operational data. In particular, smart meters allow tracking electricity load consumption at a very disaggregated level and at high…

We were interested in solving a power disaggregation problem which comes down to estimating the power consumption of each device given the total power consumption of the whole house. We started by looking at the Factorial Hierarchical…
With increasing energy prices, low income households are known to forego or minimize the use of electricity to save on energy costs. If a household is on a prepaid electricity program, it can be automatically and immediately disconnected…
Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is a technology offering methods to identify appliances in homes based on their consumption characteristics and the total household demand. Recently, many different novel NILM approaches were introduced,…
Load disaggregation techniques infer the operation of different power consuming devices from a single measurement point that records the total power draw over time. Thus, a device consuming power at the moment can be understood as…
A major challenge to implementing residential demand response is that of aligning the objectives of many households, each of which aims to minimize its payments and maximize its comfort level, while balancing this with the objectives of an…
Load curve data in power systems refers to users' electrical energy consumption data periodically collected with meters. It has become one of the most important assets for modern power systems. Many operational decisions are made based on…
