Separation of Residential Space Cooling Usage from Smart Meter Data

For demand response (DR) programs that focus on the energy consumption of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), the knowledge on HVAC usage of individual customers is of great value for DR program implementation. This paper presents a novel methodology to extract space cooling usage from smart meter data. A multisequence, non-homogeneous Factorial Hidden Markov Model (MN-FHMM) is prop...
