Buildings are a major contributor to climate change, accounting for one third of global
energy consumption and one quarter of CO 2 emissions. However, comprehensive …

Recent years have seen an increasing interest in Demand Response (DR) as a means to
provide flexibility, and hence improve the reliability of energy systems in a cost-effective way …

This paper presents a critical approach to the non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) problem,
by thoroughly reviewing the experimental framework of both legacy and state-of-the-art …

In recent years, the development of smart sustainable cities has become the primary focus
among urban planners and policy makers to make responsible use of resources, conserve …

The rapid development of technology in the electrical energy sector within the last 20 years
has led to growing electric power needs through the increased number of electrical …

This paper classifies and discusses the energy flexibility improvement strategies for demand
responsive control in grid-interactive buildings based on a comprehensive study of the …

This paper reviews non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) approaches that employ deep
neural networks to disaggregate appliances from low frequency data, ie, data with sampling …

Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is a technique to recover source appliances from only
the recorded mains in a household. NILM is unidentifiable and thus a challenge problem …

Smart grids are evolving as the next generation power systems that transform the traditional
ways of functioning of present electrical grids. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is one …

Occupant behavior has been widely considered as one of the key influencing factors on
building energy consumption. The complexity of its formation mechanism and the dynamic …
