Machine learning-based analysis of residential electricity consumption behavior for consumers and prosumers

With the shift towards a more sustainable energy system, the need for a better understanding of the behavior development over time of consumers and prosumers arises. Despite the growing penetration of smart meter infrastructure, the availability of energy usage behavior data is still limited, due to...

description With the shift towards a more sustainable energy system, the need for a better understanding of the behavior development over time of consumers and prosumers arises. Despite the growing penetration of smart meter infrastructure, the availability of energy usage behavior data is still limited, due to privacy and security concerns.

In the present work, a novel work!ow for combined analysis on multiple smart meter datasets is proposed, which links datasets with diferent scopes, temporal origins and speci#cations. In general, there are 4 steps: data preprocessing, clustering, location dependency check and dataset linking.
