Incorporating time-of-day usage patterns into non-intrusive load monitoring

Understanding appliance power consumption can help occupants optimize their power consumption behaviour. One popular class of methods for determining appliance power consumption is known as non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM). This paper shows how to incorporate time-of-day appliance usage patterns into a recent NILM method, resulting in both improved accuracy and reduction in computational complexity.
