Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring

Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is a technology that enables the monitoring and identification of energy consumption of individual appliances within a household or building by analyzing power time series data, without the need to install additional sensors on each device. Its primary goal is to enhance energy efficiency, optimize load management, and support the development of smart grids. The application value of NILM lies in its ability to provide detailed energy consumption analysis, helping users understand the specific power usage of devices so they can adopt effective energy-saving measures.
