摘要： The present invention generally teaches systems and methods for creating appliance signatures based upon whole house composite load profiles. Methods may includes steps such as identifying primitive elements including transients and absolute steady state levels; clustering the primitive elements along multiple dimensions to form impulses; combining impulses to form simple bundles; combining simple bundles with each other or impulses to form complex bundles; and determining specific appliance signatures that substantially match the complex bundles. Methods may also include steps such as determining transitions within the whole house composite load profile; determining household specific appliance state machines for each appliance in the household; and disaggregating the whole house composite load profile into individual appliance energy loads by assigning the determined transitions to the determined household specific appliance state machines.

摘要： Systems and methods of the present invention are directed to disaggregating the contribution of solar panels from a whole house energy profile. Methods of disaggregating energy produced by solar panels from low frequency whole-house energy consumption data for a specific house, may include steps of: predicting solar energy generation for the specific house by estimating a solar capacity of the solar panels, predicting solar intensity associated with the specific house, and multiplying estimated solar capacity with predicted solar intensity; and subtracting the predicted solar energy generation from the low frequency whole house energy consumption data, thereby disaggregating the contribution of energy produced by the solar panels. Computerized systems of the same may apply machine learning models such as radial basis function, support vector, or neural network machines.
