Nonintrusive load identification for industrial users can accurately acquire the operation of each load. However, it is a major challenge in the demand-side response due to the hardship of collection data for modelling, and high precision measuring equipment is required. Aiming at this situation, a nonintrusive load identification method is proposed, combining the least square QR (LSQR) with the sequential leader clustering algorithm. Firstly, regarding accurate depiction of industrial loads, some appropriate load feature indices of steady-state and transient processes are extracted, respectively. For steady-state processes, the active power, the reactive power, and the root mean square (RMS) current value are selected as the feature indices. In the case of transient processes, ten feature indices of three stages are employed: before, during, and after transient events, consisting of the duration of transient events, the RMS current value before and after transient events, the average value of active power before and after transient events, the average value of reactive power before and after transient events, the maximum RMS current value of transient events, etc. On this base, the LSQR algorithm is proposed to decompose unknown composite power to access the operation of various loads at steady-state. The sequential leader clustering algorithm is propounded to classify transient events of typical industrial loads and further identify which kind of loads had switched. Finally, to validate the effectiveness of the presented model, data of industrial loads from a concrete plant are collected, including blender, cement screw, sewage dump, and inclined belt conveyor, and simulation analysis is fulfilled. The results indicate that the model proposed can effectively achieve the nonintrusive industrial load identification, and least unified residue (LUR) is about 10−16, which is much better than the factorial hidden Markov model (FHMM) and the artificial neural network (ANN) model.
Nonintrusive industrial load identification can accurately acquire the operation data of each load in the plant, which is the benefit of intelligent power management. The identification method of the industrial load is complicated and difficult to be realized due to the difficulty in collecting transient data for modeling, and high-precision measuring equipment is required. Aiming at this situation, the article proposes a nonintrusive industrial load identification method using a random forest algorithm and steady-state waveform. Firstly, by monitoring the change of the industrial load power state, when the load changes and becomes stable, the steady-state waveform is extracted. Due to different electrical characteristics of industrial loads, the current waveform of loads is different to some extent. We can construct characteristic data for each industrial load to construct its own current steady-state waveform. Then, using the high-dimensional data of the steady-state waveform as the sample data, the bootstrap sampling method and the CART algorithm in the random forest algorithm are used to generate multiple decision trees. Finally, the industrial load types are identified by voting multiple decision trees. The actual operating load data of a factory are used as the sample data in the simulation, and the effectiveness and rapidity of the proposed identification algorithm are verified by the combined load method simulation comparison. The simulation results show that the accuracy of the proposed identification algorithm is more than 99%, the identification time is 3.36 s, which is much higher than that of other methods, and the operation time is less than that of other methods. Therefore, the proposed identification algorithm can effectively realize the nonintrusive industrial load identification.
