Abstract: The present invention teaches methods of performing appliance itemization based on consumption data, including: receiving at a processor the data; determining if the data includes active signals and/or inactive signals; upon detection of an active signal: detecting and estimating active water heating consumption and lighting consumption; upon detection of an inactive signal: detecting and estimating passive water heating consumption, refrigerator consumption; and detecting vacation mode.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods of disaggregating and detecting energy usage associated with electric vehicle charging from a whole-house consumption signal. In general, methods of the present invention may include: identifying by an electronic processor potential interval candidates of electric vehicle charging, based at least in part upon long and decreasing patterns; determining by the electronic processor intervals associated with the charging of an electric vehicle, based at least in part on evaluating each potential interval candidate; determining by the electronic processor an initial point of charging for each interval associated with the charging of an electric vehicle; and accounting by the electronic processor for feedback of any incorrectly detected signals.

Abstract: The invention is directed to systems and methods for detecting occurrence of at least one event in a household environment. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving energy profile data determined for the household environment. The method may further include analyzing the energy profile data to obtain operation parameters for appliances being used in the household environment. The method may further include comparing the operation parameters with steady state parameters for each of the appliance based one or more deviation rules. The method may further include detecting occurrence of the at least one event in the household environment based on the comparing.
