PROJECT TITLE :

System for Calibration of Nonintrusive Load Meters With Load Identification Ability

ABSTRACT:

Nonintrusive load meters (NILMs) with a load identification ability are developed in several institutes and firms. All load identification algorithms (LIAs) have a common characteristic: load identification relies on the present waveform. A system for calibration and testing of meters with load identification ability is presented in this paper. The system was based on generating arbitrary current waveforms of previously sampled home appliances. A tested NILM ought to measure the waveform and identify the simulated appliance. The load identification likelihood was measured for a selected LIA. An NILM was simulated by a standard power quality meter and load identification was performed afterward in an exceedingly laptop. Simulations and sensitivity analysis were additionally performed to see minimal properties of an NILM with selected LIA. The results showed that the system is ready to measure load identification chance of an NILM and even detect numerous issues of the LIA.
