Energy Meter Data Analysis Using Machine Learning Techniques

Abstract

With the advancement of technology, existence of energy meters are not merely to measure energy units. The proliferation of energy meter deployments had led to significant interest in analyzing the energy usage by the machines. Energy meter data is often difficult to analyzeowing to the aggregation of many disparate and complex loads. At utility scales, analysis is further complicated by the vast quantity of data and hence industries turn towards applying machine learning techniques for monitoring and measuring loads of the machines. The energy meter data analysis aims at analyzing the behavior of the machine and providing insights on usage of the energy. This will help the industries to identify the faults in the machine and to rectify it.Two use cases with two different motor specifications is considered for evaluation and the efficiency is proved by considering accuracy, precision, F-measure and recall as metrics.
