A load identification method for residential building applications

In this paper, the topic of electric load identification in household applications is addressed. The identification of load powers and of duty cycles is performed in a nonintrusive way from the signals flowing throughout the meter panel of electricity consumption of the building. The identification of loads is based on the detection of the on-off transitions in the active power, from which the power level, the start time, the end time, the duty cycle, and the power consumption can all be computed.
