A method of identifying the operation of a power consuming device from an aggregate power series, the method comprising:receiving an aggregate power series, the aggregate power series comprising aggregate power consumption data for a plurality of power consuming devices; filtering the aggregate power consumption data to separate the aggregate power consumption data into a fast component and a slow component; measuring an average power of the fast component; determining periods during which the measured average power is greater than a first threshold; and comparing the determined period with a model defining operational characteristics of a power consuming device to identify the operation of a power consuming device. |
