Disaggregating Household Energy Consumption Data Using an NIALM Algorithm

To enhance the control utilities of the energyprovider, smart meters are being installed nationwide to measurethe households energy consumption in real time. There is agroup of algorithms that is able to read these energy readingsand determines the states of the appliances. This opens up newpossibilities for someone who wants to exploit it and might lead toinfringement of privacy. It might lead to infringement of privacy.This paper will take a look on one approach of these algorithmsand counter measures to ensure privacy. The NIALM we chosewere working poorly in presence of more appliances hence adifferent algorithm should be used if a larger house with moreappliances desired
