Abstract
A method for analyzing appliances in a power line network, comprises obtaining an electrical characteristic of the power line network, using a sensor that is connected to the power line network, and detecting an appliance connected to the power line network on the basis of the electrical characteristic of the power line network and a model profile. The model profile is based on electrical characteristics of one or more candidate appliances and on a configuration of the power line network.
