Abstract

Model 2.9

 

Clustered-meter average monthly ratios

 

 

Monthly (kWh) consumption clustering:

 

1. Twelve clustering models (one per month of signup): Spectral Clustering

2. Clustering using (daily kWh) consumption extracted features. Cluster count set to 4 (empirically better than the 5 or 6 suggested by the elbow distortion method).

 

Forecasting for a meter: Using the mean monthly consumption + in-cluster month-to-month ratios.

 

Clustering

 

Features (170) from weekend/weekday and full series:

- Statistical: median, variance, quantiles, ...

- Time-series: autocorrelations, trends, seasonalities, ...

 

Post-processing of clustering data: Standardization.

 

Time-series preprocessing:

- Hourly resampling -> 8h moving average -> daily resampling.
