Abstract: An electrical appliance status analysis device and method are provided. Based on the correlation between appliance status sequence data and electricity meter sequence data, appliances are categorized into high-correlation appliances and low-correlation appliances. For high-correlation appliances, training is conducted using the first-type model directly based on the appliance status sequence data and electricity meter sequence data. For low-correlation appliances, features are extracted to produce appliance status feature data and electricity meter feature data, which are then combined with user information feature data to train a second-type model. This method remains applicable at low sampling frequencies. Even when the data sampling rate is below 1 Hz, the resulting appliance status analysis models provide accurate analysis results, addressing the limitations of NILM technology in analyzing data with low sampling frequency.
