Abstract

Energy savings is one of the hottest issues and concerns nowadays due to high oil prices and global warming as a result of CO2 emissions. Non-intrusive appliances load monitoring (NIALM) is a methodology that aims to breakdown the total power consumption measured by the smart meter in each household into the power consumed by the individual appliances. These detailed information on individual appliances consumptions can influence the users to follow better energy usage profiles so as to achieve energy savings. We introduce a novel energy disaggregation model that considers mutual devices interactions and embeds the information on devices interactions into the Factorial Hidden Markov Model (FHMM) representations of the aggregated data. The hidden states in the FHMM were inferred by means of the Viterbi algorithm. Devices' interaction is a power quality issue that affects the measured power consumed by a device when there are other devices connected to the network. We tested our model using a selected house from the REDD public data set. Our proposed approach showed enhanced results when compared with the standard FHMM. Devices interactions, when observed, enabled us to disaggregate and assign energy consumption for individual devices more accurately. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Zhao Wu, Chao Wang, Huaiqing Zhang, Wenxiong Peng, Weihua Liu

Summary: This paper introduces the application of Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and its variations in Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM). By proposing a time-efficient Factorial Hidden Semi-Markov Model (TE-FHSMM), the paper achieves a reduction in time consumption while maintaining performance when dealing with datasets with different numbers of appliances. Additionally, experiments show that TE-FHSMM outperforms six state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of Accuracy and F1 score in real-world scenarios and publicly available datasets.

Detecting the novel appliance in non-intrusive load monitoring

Xiaochao Guo, Chao Wang, Tao Wu, Ruiheng Li, Houyi Zhu, Huaiqing Zhang

Summary: Results from Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring can be used for energy decomposition and load identification, facilitating effective energy consumption management. However, existing studies often focus on fixed settings, which limits the practical application in real-world scenarios. In this study, we propose a novel appliance detection method that analyzes pattern variations of aggregated power sequences and can determine new appliances without prior information, establishing a basis for load monitoring in scenarios with dynamic changes in load topology. Experimental results show significant improvement in F1 metric compared to event-based approaches.

Customer Behaviour Hidden Markov Model

Ales Jandera, Tomas Skovranek

Summary: This work proposes a Customer behaviour hidden Markov model (CBHMM) to predict customer behavior and forecast store income in e-commerce. The model consists of three sub-models and uses a transition matrix to distinguish between decision-states of order completed, order uncompleted, or no order. The Viterbi algorithm is used to evaluate the completion of orders, followed by the estimation of forecasted store income. Comparisons with a baseline prediction model show that CBHMM outperforms in terms of R-squared criterion and has a higher PG value.

Estimating omnidirectional urban vertical wind speed with direction-dependent building morphologies

Qi Li, Jiayu Chen, Xiaowei Luo

Summary: This study focuses on the vertical wind conditions as a main external factor that limits the energy assessment of high-rise buildings in urban areas. Traditional tools for energy assessment of buildings use a universal vertical wind profile estimation, without taking into account the unique wind speed in each direction induced by the various shapes and configurations of buildings in cities. To address this limitation, the study developed an omnidirectional urban vertical wind speed estimation method using direction-dependent building morphologies and machine learning algorithms.
