Abstract
A Smart Grid combines the use of traditional technology with innovative digital solutions, making the management of the electricity grid more flexible. It allows for monitoring, analysis, control and communication within the supply chain to improve efficiency, reduce the energy consumption and cost,
Highlights
Nowadays the need to both solve environmental problems and cope with the exhausting of traditional fossils has forced many countries and organizations to put in their political agenda the energy problem
One important software module is related to a Non Intrusive Appliance Load Monitoring (NIALM) algorithm, in which individual appliance power consumption information is disaggregated from singlepoint measurements, that provide a feedback in such a way to make energy more visible and more amenable to understanding and control
The more complete the information provided by the user during this phase, the more accurate the results provided by the NIALM algorithm
Summary
Nowadays the need to both solve environmental problems and cope with the exhausting of traditional fossils has forced many countries and organizations (e.g. the European Community) to put in their political agenda the energy problem. In this paper we present an overall ICT architecture for energy consumption awareness: data about energy consumption collected in users' homes are sent to a service provider site that, after disaggregating and processing them, allows a user friendly representation of energy consumption providing the user with a direct feedback about his habits and distribution of consumption among his appliances Within this architecture, one important software module is related to a Non Intrusive Appliance Load Monitoring (NIALM) algorithm, in which individual appliance power consumption information is disaggregated from singlepoint measurements, that provide a feedback in such a way to make energy more visible and more amenable to understanding and control.
