Abstract

In an era, that has seen an increase in smart socket adoption in homes, greater sensor data acquisition and data analytics within the Internet of things (IoT) platforms; new developments in hardware design and converging sensor data with big data introduces new research opportunities in the energy sector. Smart meters currently provide an overall energy usage for a household, by introducing socket level identification of electrical devices an itemised bill or detailed breakdown for device type or category can be achieved. Voltage and current waveforms extracted from sensors within a smart socket is processed using signal processing techniques for the use of pattern recognition. Experimental results for single device identification show that a low equal error rate can be achieved, therefore, increasing the likelihood of a successful device recognition.
