Multi-Feature Load Detection Algorithm

Abstract:

Each appliance determines a specific variation in power consumption when is switched from one state to another. Analysing the profile of this variation, a set of features can be extracted and further used to detect the consumers transitions. Based on this principle, a multi-feature load detection algorithm is presented in this paper. The algorithm detects the transient profiles, extracts their features and by comparing them with the ones from a database it can detect which consumer generated that transient profile. Providing this information to the user, can offer him an overview of how energy is consumed and help him detect possibilities to reduce the consumption.
