Abstract
The present invention generally teaches systems and methods for creating appliance signatures based upon whole house composite load profiles. Methods may includes steps such as identifying primitive elements including transients and absolute steady state levels; clustering the primitive elements along multiple dimensions to form impulses; combining impulses to form simple bundles; combining simple bundles with each other or impulses to form complex bundles; and determining specific appliance signatures that substantially match the complex bundles. Methods may also include steps such as determining transitions within the whole house composite load profile; determining household specific appliance state machines for each appliance in the household; and disaggregating the whole house composite load profile into individual appliance energy loads by assigning the determined transitions to the determined household specific appliance state machines.
