With the gradual maturity of deep learning and the Internet of Things, a smart grid is urgently needed to be established. For the intellectualization of the power grid, non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) technology is the key step of intellectualization. The traditional load monitoring method is an invasive scheme, in which monitoring sensors are usually installed at the output end of each grid load. This method requires a lot of manpower and material resources in terms of equipment installation and maintenance, which is difficult to sustain. Therefore, monitoring electrical appliances are installed at the entrance of the distribution network to decompose the classification and operation status of the individual electrical appliances in the grid. Aiming at the problem of long-term multi-state electrical apparatus monitoring, this paper mainly optimizes the two optimal deep learning models Seq2Seq and WindowGRU based on activation function optimization, regular function optimization and neural network structure optimization. PReLU, Leaky-ReLU and ELU are used and tested. For the optimization based on regular functions, the value of F1-score is 0.9700, which is 0.1534 more than the optimization algorithm Seq2SeqLR in this paper. Meanwhile, it can also reach 0.8100 for other devices, which is 0.2373 more than the nilmTCN designed in this paper. The Recall value of the identification is improved to 0.6673, which is significantly higher than that of other models. It is proved that the research contents of this paper can improve the effective analysis of load energy consumption data, and can minimize unnecessary energy consumption to achieve the purpose of saving electricity.
