Process for disaggregating charges using an electrical signature

An identification module of the usage of electrical equipment connected to the power supply grid and comprising an asynchronous motor coupled to a charge, the identification module comprising:

• an acquisition module configured to obtain at a point of electrical delivery an electrical magnitude to be measured and transform said electrical magnitude into a useable signal;
• an event detection module configured to extract, from said useable signal, a particular instant characteristic of the start-up of the electrical equipment;
• an extraction module configured to extract, from detection of the start-up, a portion of determined duration of the signal;
• a processing module configured to obtain a frequential spectrum of the portion of signal extracted in this way;
• a database configured to record a set of electrical signatures each consisting of a limited and predetermined set of characteristic frequencies and their harmonics obtained from the only information featuring on the identification plate of the asynchronous motor and from visual inspection of the charge and its method for coupling to the asynchronous motor;
• and
• a recognition and identification module for comparing the frequential spectrum obtained with each of the recorded electrical signatures, recognising the relevant electrical signature and then identifying the electrical equipment as being at the origin of the recognised electrical signature.
