Abstract: A multi-processing transient event detector for use in a nonintrusive electrical load monitoring system has been provided. Templates of transient pattern data associated with each electrical load which may be monitored are stored. Such templates are then used to match and correlate with the actual monitored transient pattern data at the load site. The decomposition in which time scales are changed is accomplished in parallel along with one or more parallel event detection processing modules for each decomposition.
