Before revision: Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) decomposes the total load reading into appliance-level load signals. Many deep learning-based methods have been developed to accomplish NILM, and the training of deep neural networks (DNN) requires massive load data containing different types of appliances.
After revision: Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is essential for understanding customer's power consumption patterns and may find wide applications like carbon emission reduction and energy conservation. The training of NILM models requires massive load data containing different types of appliances.
