Selecting extracted features of electricity consumption data

摘要

Power consumption related data for the power source supplying an entire household or other group of appliances is captured at a relatively high data rate. The raw data is analyzed to remove redundancy and to identify pertinent features, and then the more informative of these features are then selected. The analysis and selection of features are pre-processing tasks that are performed on-site, on the same piece of hardware that acquires the raw data and transmits the pre-processed data to the server. By transmitting selective data to a remote server, only a low bandwidth is required for the transmission.
