Realization of Self-Demand Response Through Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring Algorithm

The real-time statistics on key consumer parameters and key utility parameters earmark the implementation of demand response (DR) under the smart grid (SG) paradigm. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) enables monitoring and control over both key parameters to reflect reliable information on SG. Firstly, this paper aims at a physical realization of an AMI, which comprises a meter data management system (MDMS) supported by smart meters. Secondly, a sliding window based non-intrusive load monitoring algorithm is proposed to illustrate the power consumption pattern. The MDMS features an incremental block--rate tariff structure given by Tamil Nadu state electricity board for the estimation and prediction of electricity bill. Finally, an implementation perspective is presented describing the features of its constituents both theoretically and experimentally, which could envision a consumer-facing grid and exert the proposed self--DR scheme.Comment: Presented in the 2019 International Conference on Electronics, Computing and Communication Technologies (IEEE CONECCT) organized by IEEE Bangalore Section, held at IIIT Bangalore during 26-27 July, 201
