Abstract:
Energy disaggregation, also known as nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM), is a technology that separates aggregate electricity consumption data into appliance-wise consumption in a household's smart meter. Although this technology was developed in 1992, its practical application and mass deployment have been limited, possibly due to the inadequacy of commonly used datasets for NILM research. In this paper, the authors presented the results of a newly collected dataset containing 10 Hz sampling data for 58 houses. The dataset includes aggregate measurements as well as individual appliance measurements for three different types of appliances. They demonstrated that NILM performance can be significantly limited when the data sampling rate is too low or the number of distinct houses in the dataset is too small by applying three classification algorithms (vanilla DNN (Deep Neural Network), ML (Machine Learning) with feature engineering, and CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) with hyper-parameter tuning) and a recent regression algorithm (Subtask Gated Network) to the new dataset. These requirements are not met by the well-known NILM datasets that are popular in the research community. The findings suggest that higher-quality datasets should be used to accelerate NILM research.
