用轻量嵌入实现跨家庭电器能耗分解,支持动态新增设备。

Lightweight and Scalable Transfer Learning Framework for Load Disaggregation

  • 通过紧凑设备指纹,让一个模型适配多个电器,无需固定输出集。
  • 仅需少量目标数据微调嵌入向量,推理时模型完全冻结,效率高。
  • 适合边缘设备部署,可实时处理,适用于不断变化的家用场景。

非侵入式负载监测(NILM)旨在从单一测量点的总电能信号中估算各电器的用电情况。近年来深度学习方法被广泛应用,但跨家庭泛化仍是难题,源于电器特性、使用习惯和背景负荷的差异。迁移学习提供了在目标数据有限时适应模型的可行路径。然而现有方法通常假设电器集合固定,难以适应真实世界中设备的动态变化,且不适用于边缘设备或实时运行。本文提出RefQuery,一种可扩展的多电器、多任务NILM框架,通过紧凑的设备指纹条件化分解过程,使单一预训练模型可服务多种电器而无需固定输出集。该框架保持预训练分解网络完全冻结,仅在轻量级反向传播阶段学习每个电器的嵌入向量以适配目标家庭。在三个公开数据集上的实验表明,RefQuery在准确率与效率之间取得良好平衡,优于单电器与多电器基线,包括现代基于Transformer的方法。结果验证了其作为资源受限边缘设备上可扩展实时NILM实用路径的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) aims to estimate appliance-level consumption from aggregate electrical signals recorded at a single measurement point. In recent years, the field has increasingly adopted deep learning approaches; however, cross-domain generalization remains a persistent challenge due to variations in appliance characteristics, usage patterns, and background loads across homes. Transfer learning provides a practical paradigm to adapt models with limited target data. However, existing methods often assume a fixed appliance set, lack flexibility for evolving real-world deployments, remain unsuitable for edge devices, or scale poorly for real-time operation. This paper proposes RefQuery, a scalable multi-appliance, multi-task NILM framework that conditions disaggregation on compact appliance fingerprints, allowing one shared model to serve many appliances without a fixed output set. RefQuery keeps a pretrained disaggregation network fully frozen and adapts to a target home by learning only a per-appliance embedding during a lightweight backpropagation stage. Experiments on three public datasets demonstrate that RefQuery delivers a strong accuracy-efficiency trade-off against single-appliance and multi-appliance baselines, including modern Transformer-based methods. These results support RefQuery as a practical path toward scalable, real-time NILM on resource-constrained edge devices.
