Demand Response For Residential Uses: A Data Analytics Approach
This addresses energy management in Smart Grids for residential users, but it appears incremental as it applies existing data mining techniques to a specific domain.
The paper tackles the problem of applying Demand Response in residential houses by analyzing disaggregated power consumption data to encourage users to shift usage to off-peak hours and adopt lighter operation modes, using Cross Correlation and Dynamic Time Warping for detection and recognition.
In the Smart Grid environment, the advent of intelligent measuring devices facilitates monitoring appliance electricity consumption. This data can be used in applying Demand Response (DR) in residential houses through data analytics, and developing data mining techniques. In this research, we introduce a smart system foundation that is applied to user's disaggregated power consumption data. This system encourages the users to apply DR by changing their behaviour of using heavier operation modes to lighter modes, and by encouraging users to shift their usages to off-peak hours. First, we apply Cross Correlation (XCORR) to detect times of the occurrences when an appliance is being used. We then use The Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) to recognize the operation mode used.
