Abstract
This paper presents a novel nonintrusive load monitoring method based on deep learning. Unlike the existing work based on convolutional neural network and recurrent neural network with fully connected layers, this paper develops a deep neural network based on sequence-to-sequence model and attention mechanism to perform nonintrusive load monitoring. The overall framework can be divided into three layers. In the first layer, the input active power time sequence is embedded into a group of high dimensional vectors. In the second layer, the vectors are encoded by a bi-directional LSTM layer, and the N encoded vectors are added up to form a dynamic context vector according to its weights calculated by the attention mechanism. In the third layer, an LSTM-based decoder utilizes the dynamic context vector to calculate the disaggregated power consumption at every time step. The proposed method is trained and tested on REFITPowerData dataset. The results show that compared to the state-of-the-art methods, the proposed method significantly increases the accuracy of the estimation for the disaggregated power value and decreases the misjudge rate by 10% to 20%.
