SHED

A Simulated High-frequency Energy Disaggregation dataset for commercial buildings


Description

In order to enable high frequency NILM algorithm evaluation, we release a synthetic dataset called SHED whose purpose is to evaluate the disaggregation performence of NILM algorithm. This dataset contains simulated current and voltage measurements for X buildings. Each building contains the total current and voltage measurements on top of individuals consumptions: the power (building x, y, z) or the current (building a, b, c). The building features (number of categories, devices class) are summarized in the metadata file. For further information on the simulator, the data used or the evaluation of the dataset please refere to the Publication page.

The current version of the dataset is 1.0.
