Abstract

In this study we apply clustering techniques for analyzing and understanding households’ electricity consumption data. The knowledge extracted by this analysis is used to create a model of normal electricity consumption behavior for each particular household. Initially, the household’s electricity consumption data are partitioned into a number of clusters with similar daily electricity consumption profiles. The centroids of the generated clusters can be considered as representative signatures of a household’s electricity consumption behavior. The proposed approach is evaluated by conducting a number of experiments on electricity consumption data of ten selected households. The obtained results show that the proposed approach is suitable for data organizing and understanding, and can be applied for modeling electricity consumption behavior on a household level.
