Abstract :
In this paper we present our approach to create an end-to-end software platform to enable the creation of meaningful and systematic, cross-dataset performance evaluations and benchmarks of Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring technology. We specifically propose a new file format to represent public datasets, a software framework to implement algorithms and metrics as well as the application of ceiling analysis to evaluate the overall performance of NILM systems.
