Bernard T. Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM): Combining multiple distinct Electrical Features and Unsupervised Machine Learning Techniques

University of Duisburg-Essen, 2018. — 184 p.Common electricity meters measure only the overall energy consumption. To assist in energy savings and to enrich smart home applications with energy data, a detailed breakdown is necessary. Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) analyzes the overall electrical signal and separates it into its components, by identifying device specific electrical signatures.
