Abstract

The electrical appliances identification problem is gaining a rapidly growing interest these past few years due to the recent need of this information in the new smart grid configuration. In this work, we propose to construct an appliance identification system based on the use of Hidden Markov Models (HMM) to model transient and steady-state electrical current signals. For this purpose, we investigate the usefulness of different choices for the proposed identification system such as: the use of the transient and the steady-state current signals, the use of even and odd-order harmonics as features, and the optimal number of features to take into account. This work also discusses the choice of the Short-Time Fourier Series (STFS) coefficients as adapted features for the representation of transient and steady-state current signals.
