Non-intrusive household load identification technology can guide reasonable arrangement of household users
improve energy efficiency
and provide domestic electric data support to the power sector
which is conducive to understand the load electricity law and trends for improving power planning. As steady-state characteristic values of electric load for home users are similar and irregular
most existing methods need to use advanced algorithms to train all the combinations of electrical load. Faced with the existing problems with the steady load characteristic value method and considering the unique characteristics and the superposition of steady-state waveform of domestic load
a method based on the dynamic time warping(DTW)algorithm and template library waveform is proposed to identify the household load. First of all
a template library of steady-state waveform is established. Then
under certain voltage conditions
the current steady-state waveform is measured. Finally
the DTW algorithm is used to calculate the minimum distance for identification.
