A Novel Procedure for Virtual Measurements Generation suitable for Training and Testing in the context of Non Intrusive Load Monitoring

摘要

Getting "smarter" Energy by means of advanced electrical and computer engineering tools is the theme of our digital age. This paper presents a new concept for virtual data generation in the context of non-intrusive load monitoring, where the goal is to fill in the gap when aggregate measurements are needed along with individuals ones. We develop a method to generate aggregate measurements starting from single original measurements. The performance of standard NILM tools and algorithms on both original and "virtual" data is compared using own lab measurements.
