User Deep Energy Efficiency Evaluation via Load Perception and Clustering

Abstract

With the constantly upgrading of the living level of urban residents, the types and quantities of domestic appliances continue to increase, and the electricity consumption behaviour is becoming more and more complex. Based on the fine-grained user energy consumption data obtained by load intelligent perception, this paper proposes a user energy efficiency evaluation method through fuzzy comprehension evaluation. First, the energy consumption characteristics at appliance level which can effectively represent energy consumption behaviour of users are designed and filtered, and then the energy efficiency evaluation strategy of appliances based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is established. The strategy adopts two-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. The first appliance-level fuzzy evaluation realizes the energy efficiency evaluation of the appliances. The second level is the comprehensive evaluation of user energy efficiency based on the appliance energy efficiency assessment, and the target users are divided into different energy efficiency levels. The measured data-based analysis results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the results can guide users to optimize their electricity consumption behaviour scientifically and realize energy saving and carbon reduction.
