Title: System and method for electric load identification and classification employing support vector machine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1568489

A method identifies electric load types of a plurality of different electric loads. The method includes providing a support vector machine load feature database of a plurality of different electric load types; sensing a voltage signal and a current signal for each of the different electric loads; determining a load feature vector including at least six steady-state features with a processor from the sensed voltage signal and the sensed current signal; and identifying one of the different electric load types by relating the load feature vector including the at least six steady-state features to the support vector machine load feature database.
