System And Method For Generating An Energy Usage Profile For An Electrical Device

A method comprising:

• receiving a request to turn off power to each of one or more electrical devices associated with a meter configured to measure electric energy usage;
• receiving a request to turn on a first electrical device of the one or more electrical devices;
• obtaining a ramp up waveform of energy usage of the first electrical device;
• converting the ramp up waveform to a digital signature;
• and
• storing the ramp up digital signature of the first electrical device in the memory area.

One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable components, said components comprising:

• an interface component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to receive a request to turn off power to each of one or more electrical devices associated with a meter configured to measure electric energy usage, and receive a request to turn on a first electrical device of the one or more electrical devices;
• a sampling component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to obtain a ramp up waveform of energy usage of the first electrical device;
• a converting component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to convert the ramp up waveform to a digital signature;
• and
• a storage component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to store the ramp up digital signature of the first electrical device in the memory area.
