摘要：Abstract Non-urgent high energy-consuming residential appliances, such as pool pumps, may significantly affect the peak to average ratio (PAR) of energy demand in smart grids. Effective load monitoring is an important step to provide efficient demand response (DR) to PAR. In this paper, we focus on pool pump analytics and present a deep learning framework, PUMPNET, to identify the pool pump operation patterns from power consumption data. Different from conventional time-series based Non-intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) methods, our approach transfers the time-series data into image-like (date-time matrix) data. Then a U-shaped fully convolutional neural network is developed to detect and segment the image-like data in pixel level for operation detection. Our approach identify whether pool pumps operate given thirty-minute interval aggregated active power consumption data in kilowatt-hours only. Furthermore, the PUMPNET algorithm could identify pool pump operation status with high accuracy in the low-frequency sampling scenario for thousands of household, compared to traditional NILM algorithms which process high sampling rate data and can only apply to limited number of households. Experiments on real-world data validate the promising results of the proposed PUMPNET model.
