• Abstract summary: This study uses data from domestic electricity smart meters to estimate annual electricity bills for a whole year. We develop a method for back-filling data smart meter for up to six missing months for users who have less than one year of smart meter data. We identify five distinct electricity consumption user profiles for homes based on day, night, and peak usage patterns.

• Abstract: This study uses data from domestic electricity smart meters to estimate annual electricity bills for a whole year. We develop a method for back-filling data smart meter for up to six missing months for users who have less than one year of smart meter data, ensuring reliable estimates of annual consumption. We identify five distinct electricity consumption user profiles for homes based on day, night, and peak usage patterns, highlighting the economic advantages of Time-of-Use (ToU) tariffs over fixed tariffs for most users, especially those with higher nighttime consumption. Ultimately, the results of this study empowers consumers to manage their energy use effectively and to make informed choices regarding electricity tariff plans.

  We study the problem of estimating the soiling ratio in photo-voltaic (PV) modules. A key advantage of our algorithms is that they estimate soiling, without needing to train on labelled data. Our experimental evaluation shows that we significantly outperform current state-of-the-art methods for estimating soiling ratio.

  We present an unsupervised low-frequency method aimed at detecting and disaggregating the power used by Cumulative Water Heaters (CWH) in residential homes. Our model circumvents the inherent difficulty of unsupervised signal disaggregation by using both the shape of a power spike and its time of occurrence. Our model, despite its simplicity, offers promising applications: detection of mis-configured CWHs on off-peak contracts and slow performance degradation.

• MARTINI: Smart Meter Driven Estimation of HVAC Schedules and Energy Savings Based on WiFi Sensing and Clustering [0.0]
  We propose a scalable way to estimate energy savings potential from energy conservation measures that is not limited by building parameters. We estimate the schedules by clustering WiFi-derived occupancy profiles and, energy savings by shifting ramp-up and setback times observed in typical/measured load profiles. Our case-study results with five buildings over seven months show an average of 8.1%-10.8% (summer) and 0.2%-5.9% (fall) chilled water energy savings when HVAC system operation is aligned with occupancy.

  We highlight the need for privacy preserving energy demand forecasting to allay a major concern consumers have about smart meter installations. High resolution smart meter data can expose many private aspects of a consumer's household such as occupancy, habits and individual appliance usage. We propose the application of a distributed machine learning setting known as federated learning for energy demand forecasting at various scales to make load prediction possible.
