Abstract

Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) aims to estimate the power or energy consumption for a collection of different appliances connected to a single power inlet, with only aggregated power profile being known. Such estimation is highly valuable for many potential applications in future smart grid. This paper proposes a bootstrap filtering based solver to work with smart meter data to solve the NILM problem. The weight updating process is the focus in our solver. It is shown that some slight change applied to the weight updating process can significantly enhance the computation efficiency. Evaluation of our approach is given based on results from a popular public dataset. It is also demonstrated that some common evaluation metrics are more appropriate than others. The extra merit to attacking NILM using bootstrap filtering is also illustrated. © 2016 IEEE.
