本文报告了最近的工作，以确定有关部件级HVAC电气负荷的有用信息——不是来自准确、很少安装且相对昂贵的子仪表，而是来自建筑物配电系统中的一个或多个集中位置。这项工作包括使用真实建筑数据进行的实验室测试，以及使用低成本硬件进行的现场测试，这些硬件能够进行负载分解所需的快速采样。结果表明，建筑电气信号通常非常复杂，单个负载确实可以以合理的可靠性进行检测，需要更多的工作来自动化调整检测算法的过程，并且在多个采样率下分析打开/关闭事件以最小化交易是有好处的- 检测灵敏度和假警报之间的偏差。引文:研讨会论文，大西洋城，2002年

This paper reports recent work to determine useful information about component-level HVAC electrical loads—not from submeters, which are accurate, rarely installed, and relatively expensive, but instead from one or more centralized locations in a building's electrical distribution system. The work includes laboratory tests with real-building data and field tests made with low-cost hardware capable of the rapid sampling needed for load disaggregation. Results indicate that building electrical signals are often quite complex, that individual loads can indeed be detected with reasonable reliability, that more work is required to automate the process of tuning the detection algorithm, and that there are benefits to analyzing turn-on/turn-off events at multiple sampling rates to minimize trade-offs between detection sensitivity and false alarms.
