Abstract

Background

The electricity demand is continuously increasing. However, various institutions, enterprises, and individuals exhibit many irregularities in their electricity usage, leading to significant wastage of electricity. To achieve effective energy management, researchers are attempting to analyze and regulate users' electricity demands by monitoring their load usage through Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) technology. The accuracy of load identification in this technology will greatly impact the results of load monitoring. Although there are currently many articles and patents related to NILM, they utilize a large amount of computational resources and require high sampling rates from devices, yet the results are still unsatisfactory. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of load identification in data with relatively low sampling frequencies.

Objective

To improve the accuracy of load identification with low sampling frequency data, this paper proposes a typical scenario load identification method based on feature fusion and transfer learning.

Methods

This method adopts the fusion of current and power factor angles to provide abundant identification information for NILM, effectively reducing the situation of single-feature overlap of different loads. By inputting the fused feature data into GoogLeNet and utilizing transfer learning for training, not only is the accuracy improved, but also the training time and the requirement for the sampling rate of training data are greatly reduced. In addition, selecting typical scenario loads can monitor loads in a targeted manner, reduce the waste of computing resources caused by irrelevant loads, and more effectively guide electricity usage strategies.

Results

The proposed load identification method was tested on the low sampling frequency dataset used in this paper. It achieved an overall load identification accuracy of 94.61% across three scenarios, improving accuracy by 3% to 7% compared to other models.

Conclusion

The simulation results indicate that this method achieves high load identification accuracy at low sampling frequencies. It also exhibits good generalization ability. This method not only reduces the performance requirements for monitoring equipment but also enhances monitoring efficiency.
