TL;DR: In this article, the authors present techniques for high-performance non-intrusive load and diagnostic monitoring and illustrate key points with results from field tests, as well as demonstrate the performance of these techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, a centralized or non-intrusive load monitoring technique is proposed to detect and separate individual loads from rapid sampling of power at a single point serving a number of pieces of equipment, for example the electrical service entrance for an entire house or all of the central space-conditioning equipment in a commercial building.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the theoretical foundation and prototype implementation of a power system transient event detector for use in a nonintrusive load monitor (NILM), which determines the operating schedule of the major electrical loads in a building from measurements made at the electric utility service entry.

TL;DR: A transient event classification scheme, system identification techniques, and implementation for use in nonintrusive load monitoring form a system that can determine the operating schedule and find parameters of physical models of loads that are connected to an AC or DC power distribution system.

TL;DR: In this article, a transient event detector is proposed for use in a nonintrusive electrical load monitoring system at a monitored site having at least one electrical load, which includes a data acquisition portion for acquiring and storing start-up power transient pattern data associated with each electrical load being monitored; a monitor for continuously monitoring total power load pattern data at the site; and a processor for correlating the transient pattern datasets to the total power loads data in order to identify each load.
