Abstract:
Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) allows us to identify the power consumption of each individual home appliance from a single meter. Acquiring the appliance-level power consumption can guide household occupants to take effective action to reduce their electrical consumption. Transformer models shown to be a promising approach to capture the global context of the sequence in fewer parameters compared to CNN models. Following the success of the transformer model in computer vision tasks, we propose to use transformer model for NILM. The transformer model is lightweight and contains around 98% less parameters compared to the state-of-the-art models. We have applied our proposed transformer model on a real-world dataset and found that it performs on-par with state-of-the-art CNN models while being extremely lighter.
