Supervised load identification of 18 fixed-speed motors based on their turn-on transient current
Abstract
Several studies have already shown that the transient current can be successfully used to identify electric loads. However, most of the proposed methods were validated using only a handful of loads whose electric properties often differed significantly from each other. Therefore, a much more challenging empirical study was carried out here using 18 different fixed-speed motors in a real work environment. A further difficulty was introduced by normalizing the current amplitude to a value of 1~A during steady state. It is shown that a classifier can distinguish these 18 motors even under those conditions with an f1-score of 97.7% after a supervised training period. In addition to that it was tested whether the mechanical output type (pump, fan or compressor) of the fixed-speed motors could be inferred using only the transient current. However, the classification results indicate that this is not possible.
