Abstract

For more efficient energy consumption, it is crucial to have accurate information on how power is being consumed through a single power measurement. It benefits both market participants such as retailers, network businesses and also power consumers. This means that the metering device must not only be able to distinguish between different loads on a common circuit, but also decipher their respective power consumption. This paper gives our investigation on power load signature and power decomposition. In particular, the paper focuses on the development of power decomposition algorithm based on support vector machine (SVM), i.e., estimating the power proportion of constant power (CP) loads to constant impedance (CI) loads. The power decomposition algorithm in this paper is working on steady-state power load signal.
