Abstract
An electric power meter includes an embedded decomposition module that is configured to decompose a power meter signal into constituent loads to segregate and identify energy consumption associated with each individual energy consumption device within a plurality of energy consumption devices coupled to the power meter.
Claims41
An electric power meter comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to measure at least one desired energy consumption variable associated with a plurality of energy consumption devices, and to generate at least one output signal therefrom;
- and
- a decomposition module configured to decompose the at least one output signal into constituent individual loads and therefrom identify energy consumption corresponding to each energy consumption device within the plurality of energy consumption devices.
A method of decomposing a household power meter signal, the method comprising:
- measuring a household meter power line signal;
- decomposing within the household power meter, the power line signal into constituent individual loads;
- and
- identifying within the household power meter, energy consumption corresponding to each individual load within a plurality of loads that operate together to generate the household meter power line signal.
An electric power meter comprising an embedded decomposition module configured for decomposing a power signal into constituent loads to segregate and identify energy consumption associated with each individual energy consumption device within a plurality of energy consumption devices.
34 The electric power meter according to claim 32, wherein the decomposition algorithm is aggregated in a multidimensional associative array that is segmented based on the particular element of the cognitive cycle it supports.
