Appliance Level Energy Characterization of Residential Electricity Demand: Prospects, Challenges and Recommendations

The advent of information and communication technologies has paved the way for smart cities. Residential customers are the major consumers of electrical energy in such cities. Smart meters gather the energy consumption behavior of consumers at the aggregate/household level. Characterization of aggre...
