[0065] Figure 1 A flowchart of a load discrimination method provided by the present application is shown in the figure. The load discrimination method comprises the following steps.
[0066] S11: Collect electrical data on the side of a total electric meter, the electrical data comprising voltage data and current data;
[0067] With the development of smart grid and demand response, user-side load management has become an important part of fine peak regulation of the power system. In particular, accurately distinguishing between adjustable loads (such as air conditioners and water heaters) and non-adjustable loads (such as lighting and communication equipment) is of great significance to ensuring continuous power supply for critical loads.
[0068] First, the voltage waveform, current waveform and apparent power are synchronously collected on the side of the total electric meter. The sampling rate is , and the sampling period is Then, the collected data is preprocessed.
[0069] S12: Extracting features from the electrical data, the features including at least one of power features, harmonic and power quality features, instantaneous features and statistical distribution features;
[0070] The electrical metering features mainly include power features, harmonic and power quality indicators, instantaneous features and statistical distribution features, mainly but not limited to the above features. By extracting the features, different types of loads can be distinguished more accurately. Since different types of loads have their own unique startup characteristics, the features need to be determined after extraction.
[0071] S13: Feature fusion of the features to obtain fused data;
[0072] Since the obtained data is a feature in multiple directions, the multiple features need to be fused together, and then the calculation is performed according to the single fused data. The calculation process after fusion also reduces the workload.
[0073] During the fusion process, weights can be added to each data according to actual needs. The fused data obtained in this way can more accurately express the features.

The electrical data is characterized by various feature data, and the type of the load is determined based on the fusion data after the fusion of the various features, so as to discriminate the type of the load under the premise of guaranteeing user privacy, so as to facilitate subsequent power grid regulation.
[0077] On the basis of the above embodiments:
[0078] In some embodiments, after collecting the electrical data on the user's total electric meter side, the method further includes:
[0079] Using a band-pass filter to filter out the fundamental interference and high-frequency noise in the electrical data;
[0080] Performing Fourier transform on the voltage data and the current data respectively to convert the voltage data and the current data from time domain data to frequency domain data;
[0081] Determining the phase angle of the converted voltage data and current data;
[0082] Determining the phase difference between the voltage data and the current data, and the expression of the phase difference is ;
[0083] wherein, is the phase difference, θ i is the phase angle of the current data, θ u is the phase angle of the voltage data;
[0084] Using the phase difference to correct the waveform of the current data, so that the waveform of the current data is aligned with the waveform of the voltage data.
[0085] A band-pass filter H(f) is used to remove the power fundamental frequency interference and high frequency switching noise.

[0087] Do FFT on voltage and current respectively to extract the fundamental component;
[0088] Calculate the phase difference ;
[0089] Use Correct the current waveform to align with the voltage.
[0090] In some embodiments, after collecting the electrical data on the user's total meter side, further comprising:
[0091] According to the first preset length of the time window, the electrical data is divided to obtain a plurality of electrical division data;
[0092] Or according to the preset trigger condition to determine the trigger point;
[0093] The electrical data is divided according to the second preset length of the time window where the trigger point is located to obtain a plurality of electrical division data;
[0094] Feature extraction is performed on the electrical data, including:
[0095] Feature extraction is performed on each piece of electrical division data respectively.
[0096] Data slicing: a fixed time window (such as 200ms) and an event trigger window (detecting load change points) are combined to divide the signal.
[0097] Explanation of the fixed time window: 2000 points of data are intercepted every 200ms.
[0098] Explanation of the event trigger window: when the current moment rises (such as the start of the air conditioner compressor), the trigger point is taken as the center, and 50ms before + 150ms after, a total of 200ms, are intercepted.
[0099] In some embodiments, the feature extraction is performed on the electrical data, including:
[0100] Active power, reactive power and power factor of the electrical data are obtained respectively;
[0101] The expression of active power is ;
[0102] The expression of reactive power is ;
[0103] The expression of power factor is ;
[0104] wherein P is the active power, T is the period of a fundamental wave, is the voltage data at time t, is the current data at time t, S is the apparent power, the product of the voltage data and the current data, Q is the reactive power, and PF is the power factor;
[0105] The active power, the reactive power, and the power factor are taken as power class characteristic data of the electrical data.
[0106] The active power is the part of the circuit that is actually consumed and converted into other forms of energy, and directly corresponds to the actual output capacity of the equipment, such as light bulb light emission, motor driving load, and resistance heating. The active power is the core basis for electricity billing because it is the energy actually consumed by the user.
[0107] The reactive power does not directly consume electric energy, but performs periodic energy exchange between the power supply and the load (such as inductance and capacitance). It is mainly used to establish and maintain the magnetic field or electric field required for equipment operation, such as transformers and motors that require reactive power to generate a magnetic field to work. The reactive power does not produce actual utility, but occupies the transmission capacity of the power grid, resulting in increased line loss. The power factor is the ratio of the active power (P) to the apparent power (S, the product of the voltage and the current), and the value range is between 0 and 1. The closer the power factor is to 1, the more of the electric energy delivered by the power grid is converted into useful work, and the higher the electric energy utilization efficiency is.
[0108] In some embodiments, feature extraction is performed on the electrical data, including:
[0109] The total harmonic distortion rate of the electrical data is determined, and the expression of the total harmonic distortion rate is ;
[0110] The voltage deviation rate of the electrical data is determined, and the expression of the voltage deviation rate is ;
[0111] wherein THD is the total harmonic distortion rate, representing the degree of influence of the electrical data by harmonics, h is the harmonic order, H is the highest analyzed harmonic order, I h is the effective value of the hth harmonic current, I1 is the effective value of the fundamental current, is the voltage deviation rate, representing the deviation degree of the actual operating voltage from the rated voltage, is the actual voltage effective value, is the rated voltage value;
[0112] The total harmonic distortion rate and the voltage deviation rate are taken as harmonic and power quality characteristic data of the electrical data.
[0113] The total harmonic distortion rate, which is an index for describing the degree to which a waveform is affected by harmonics, and the voltage deviation rate, which is an index for quantifying the degree of deviation of an actual operating voltage of a power system from a rated value, are taken as harmonic and power quality characteristic data of electrical data.
[0114] The total harmonic distortion rate is used to quantify the difference between an actual electrical signal (voltage or current) and an ideal sinusoidal wave, usually expressed in percentage (%). It reflects the total content of each harmonic component in the signal in addition to the fundamental wave (50Hz or 60Hz). The lower the THD value, the closer the waveform is to an ideal sinusoidal wave. Harmonics are mainly generated by nonlinear loads such as frequency converters, rectifiers, electric welders, etc. Excessive THD can cause equipment to overheat, shorten its lifespan, and interfere with the normal operation of precision instruments.
[0115] The voltage deviation rate is the difference between the actual operating voltage and the system rated voltage, expressed as a percentage of the rated voltage, also expressed in percentage (%). It directly reflects the stability level of the grid voltage. For example, under a 220V rated voltage, if the actual voltage is 210V, the voltage deviation rate is about -4.5%. Excessive voltage deviation (too high or too low) can affect device performance, such as low voltage causing motor speed to drop and lighting brightness to dim, and high voltage potentially burning out electrical appliances.
[0116] In some embodiments, feature extraction is performed on the electrical data, including:
[0117] The current change rate at load startup is obtained, and the expression of the startup current change rate is ;
[0118] The current change rate at load shutdown is obtained, and the expression of the shutdown current change rate is ;
[0119] The total energy consumed or released by the load during the start-stop process is obtained, and the expression of the total energy is ;
[0120] wherein, is the startup current change rate, is the shutdown current change rate, is the current change amount, is the time window width, is the transient process energy, is the voltage data at time t, is the current data at time t, is the transient start time;
[0121] The startup current change rate, shutdown current change rate, and total energy are taken as instantaneous feature data of the electrical data.
[0122] The starting current change rate is the amount of current change per unit time during the process of current rising from the initial value (usually 0) to the stable working current. It directly reflects the current impact intensity at the moment of power-on of the circuit or device. The higher the rate, the more rapid the current rises. Excessive starting current change rate may cause instantaneous high voltage (such as the back electromotive force of inductive elements), damage semiconductor devices (such as IGBT, diode) in the circuit, or interfere with the surrounding sensitive circuits.
[0123] The shutdown current change rate is the amount of current change per unit time during the process of current falling from the stable working current to the stop value (usually 0), and the unit is consistent with the starting current change rate. It reflects the "decay speed" of current at the moment of power-off of the circuit or device. The higher the rate, the more rapid the current falls. Excessive shutdown current change rate may also cause problems, such as generating a sharp voltage in an inductive circuit, breaking down the insulation layer or damaging the switching device, and may also cause electromagnetic interference.
[0124] The total energy is the total amount of electrical energy consumed or transmitted by the circuit within a certain period of time (such as the starting phase, working phase or entire running cycle). It measures the energy scale of the electrical process, and directly corresponds to the actual energy consumption or energy transmission efficiency of the circuit. The calculation of total energy is usually related to power (P) and time (t), and can be used to evaluate the energy consumption cost of the device, the endurance capability of the battery, or the upper limit of energy storage of the energy storage element (such as capacitor, inductor).
[0125] In some embodiments, feature extraction is performed on the electrical data, including:
[0126] The skewness of the electrical data is obtained, and the expression of the skewness is ;
[0127] The index kurtosis of the electrical data is obtained, and the expression of the index kurtosis is ;
[0128] Wherein, the skewness is the skewness, which represents the asymmetry of the waveform distribution of the electrical data, the kurtosis is the index kurtosis, which represents the sensitivity to extreme values, x is the sequence of the electrical data, μ is the mean of the sequence of the electrical data, is the standard deviation of the sequence of the electrical data;
[0129] The skewness and the index kurtosis are taken as the statistical distribution features of the electrical data.
[0130] Skewness is a statistical measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution. It can be positive, negative, or zero. Skewness = 0: The signal distribution is completely symmetric, such as the standard normal distribution, the waveform on both sides of the mean is consistent. Skewness is positive (right skew): The long tail of the signal distribution is biased to the side of the larger value, that is, most of the data is concentrated on the left side, and there are a small number of extreme large values on the right side, such as current signals containing occasional large current surges. Skewness is negative (left skew): The long tail of the signal distribution is biased to the side of the smaller value, that is, most of the data is concentrated on the right side, and there are a small number of extreme small values on the left side, such as voltage signals under certain fault conditions.
[0131] Kurtosis is a statistical measure of the steepness of the probability distribution and the thickness of the tail. It is usually compared with the kurtosis of the normal distribution (value 3). Kurtosis > 3 (spike distribution): The signal distribution is steeper than the normal distribution, the peak is more prominent, and the tail is thicker, which means that extreme values are more likely to occur in the signal, such as vibration current signals when the motor bearing fails. Kurtosis = 3 (normal distribution): The signal distribution conforms to the normal distribution, the peak and tail characteristics are moderate, such as smooth current / voltage signals during normal operation of the device. Kurtosis < 3 (flat peak distribution): The signal distribution is flatter than the normal distribution, the peak is not obvious, and the tail is thinner, which means that there are fewer extreme values in the signal, such as some filtered smooth electrical signals.
[0132] In some embodiments, before the feature fusion of the features is performed to obtain the fused data, the following steps are further included:
[0133] Normalizing the feature data of each feature;
[0134] Determining the dimension of the normalized feature data;
[0135] Extending the dimensions of all feature data to the same dimension as the feature data with the largest dimension;
[0136] Splicing the feature data after dimension expansion to obtain the fused data.
[0137] Multi-domain feature splicing: power features, harmonic and power quality indicators, instantaneous features, and statistical distribution features are spliced according to a unified format:
[0138] Each domain is spliced in a predetermined order, and the same dimension and index mapping are maintained at any time;
[0139] Z-score normalization is performed on the features within the feature domain;
[0140] Missing values are filled with 0.
[0141] Since the integrated feature dimension after splicing is high, there may be redundancy and correlation, so dimension reduction processing is needed. One way is to use principal component analysis (PCA) to calculate the feature covariance matrix and extract the first k principal components, respectively mapping the high-dimensional features of each domain to a low-dimensional space while retaining the maximum variance information.
[0142] In some embodiments, the features are fused to obtain fused data, including:
[0143] Divide the weight for each feature data;
[0144] Multiply each feature data with the corresponding weight, and accumulate the products of all feature data and the corresponding weight to obtain the fused data;
[0145] Input the fused data into the pre-trained neural network, so that the neural network outputs the load type corresponding to the electrical data, including:
[0146] Input the fused data into the pre-trained neural network, so that the neural network outputs a discriminant value;
[0147] Determine the load type based on the discriminant value.
[0148] Each type of reduced dimension feature is extracted by an independent MLP:
[0149]
[0150] wherein, and is a linear transformation weight, is an activation function, and the output dimension is unified to . refers to the normalized feature vector, t and s are indexes, the weighting coefficients of transient and steady-state features, respectively transient and steady-state feature vectors. time is the time domain, freq is the time domain, f is the time-frequency domain, and stat is the statistical feature.
[0151] Feature attention fusion:
[0152] Use a learnable attention coefficient to automatically assign the importance of each branch, calculate the attention weight i : , and fuse the features , , u i is the learnable scoring vector corresponding to the i-th feature, u j is the learnable scoring vector corresponding to the j-th feature, and iThe denominator of the feature represents the normalization of all features, j = 1, …, M.
[0153] The fused features are then mapped by a 2-3 layer fully connected network: y is the final classification category after the softmax function.
[0154] wherein, may be a ReLU function, is an output layer activation function Softmax function, y is the output category, and the specific division is performed according to the task. W1 is the weight of the first layer of the fully connected network, W2 is the weight of the second layer of the fully connected network, b1 is the bias of the first layer of the fully connected network, and b2 is the bias of the second layer of the fully connected network.
