Title:Dynamic and Memory-efficient Shape Based Methodologies for User Type Identification in Smart Grid Applications
View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:Detecting behind-the-meter (BTM) equipment and major appliances at the residential level and tracking their changes in real time is important for aggregators and traditional electricity utilities. In our previous work, we developed a systematic solution called IRMAC to identify residential users' BTM equipment and applications from their imported energy data. As a part of IRMAC, a Similarity Profile (SP) was proposed for dimensionality reduction and extracting self-join similarity from the end users' daily electricity usage data. The proposed SP calculation, however, was computationally expensive and required a significant amount of memory at the user's end. To realise the benefits of edge computing, in this paper, we propose and assess three computationally-efficient updating solutions, namely additive, fixed memory, and codebook-based updating methods. Extensive simulation studies are carried out using real PV users' data to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods in identifying PV users, tracking changes in real time, and examining memory usage. We found that the Codebook-based solution reduces more than 30\% of the required memory without compromising the performance of extracting users' features. When the end users' data storage and computation speed are concerned, the fixed-memory method outperforms the others. In terms of tracking the changes, different variations of the fixed-memory method show various inertia levels, making them suitable for different applications.
