Research on Non-intrusive Load Decomposition Based on FHMM

Abstract

Non-intrusive load monitoring and decomposition, as one of the important parts of intelligent power utilization system, can deeply analyze users’ internal load components and obtain user’s electricity consumption information from different scales, which is of great significance to users and power companies. In this paper, a non-intrusive load decomposition method based on factorial hidden Markov model using low frequency data is proposed. Kmeans-II algorithm is used to cluster the working state of a single load, the results of which are used to calculate the parameters of the HMM for individual load model. The total load model is represented by a factorial hidden Markov model, which transforms the load decomposition into an optimization problem with maximum probability. The improved Viterbi algorithm based on event detection is proposed to solve this optimization problem, so as to obtain the working state sequence and realize load decomposition. Finally, the correctness and practicability of the method are verified by an example.
