Disaggregation of residential electric loads using smart metered data

The ability of typical utility meters and advanced meters including sub-circuit metering to
disaggregate residential electric loads and determine what appliances a homeowner is
using at a given time in investigated. The basics of residential electricity systems,
instrumentation options, and characteristics of selected residential loads are presented.
This information informs a discussion on present and future disaggregation algorithms.
The conclusions highlight the importance of reactive power and current harmonics in
determining power consumed and identifying modern electrical devices, and raise
concerns related to the ability of typical 15 minute interval utility smart meters to
disaggregate loads. / text
