similarity

This data set is composed by samples of load signature of electric devices acquired on a non-intrusively form. The test-bench was performed using four identical fluorescent lamps, four identical slots and four identical switches. Identical term means the same technical specifications (nominal voltage, power, isolation voltage, among others). The sensors are connected to the power supply in order to measure the electrical variations when appliances are turned on/off. We have 16 possible network configurations with 4 appliances, in which one, two, three or four appliances can be turned on.
