Comprehensive feature selection for appliance classification in NILM
HighlightsConcise and updated review of features for appliance classification in NILM.Proposal of a systematic feature selection algorithm to identify a unique appliance signature.The systematic feature selection improves the classification accuracy vs. using all the features.
AbstractSince the inception of non-intrusive appliance load monitoring (NILM), extensive research has focused on identifying an effective set of features that allows to form a unique appliance signature to discriminate various loads. Although an abundance of features are reported in literature, most works use only a limited subset of them. A systematic comparison and combination of the available features in terms of their effectiveness is still missing. This paper, as its first contribution, offers a concise and updated review of the features reported in literature for the purpose of load identification. As a second contribution, a systematic feature elimination process is proposed to identify the most effective feature set. The analysis is validated on a large benchmark dataset and shows that the proposed feature elimination process improves the appliance classification accuracy for all the appliances in the dataset compared to using all the features or randomly chosen subsets of features.
