The Almanac of Minutely Power dataset (AMPds) is presented for load disaggregation research; it contains one year of data that includes 11 measurements at one minute intervals for 21 sub-meters, and also includes natural gas and water consumption data.
Abstract
A home-based intelligent energy conservation system needs to know what appliances (or loads) are being used in the home and when they are being used in order to provide intelligent feedback or to make intelligent decisions. This analysis task is known as load disaggregation or non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM). The datasets used for NILM research generally contain real power readings, with the data often being too coarse for more sophisticated analysis algorithms, and often covering too short a time period. We present the Almanac of Minutely Power dataset (AMPds) for load disaggregation research; it contains one year of data that includes 11 measurements at one minute intervals for 21 sub-meters. AMPds also includes natural gas and water consumption data. Finally, we use AMPds to present findings from our own load disaggregation algorithm to show that current, rather than real power, is a more effective measure for NILM.

Unsupervised disaggregation of low frequency power measurements

TL;DR: This work investigates the effectiveness of several unsupervised disaggregation methods on low frequency power measurements collected in real homes and indicates that a conditional factorial hidden semi-Markov model, which integrates additional features related to when and how appliances are used in the home and more accurately represents the power use of individual appliances, outperforms the other unsuper supervision methods.

Approximate Inference in Additive Factorial HMMs with Application to Energy Disaggregation

TL;DR: This paper proposes an alternative inference method for additive factorial hidden Markov models, an extension to HMMs where the state factors into multiple independent chains, and the output is an additive function of all the hidden states.
