Abstract The problem of separating the household aggregated power signal into its additive sub-components, called energy (power) disaggregation or Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) can play an instrumental role as a driver towards consumer energy consumption awareness and behavioral change. In this paper, we propose EnerGAN++, an adversarially trained model for robust energy disaggregation. We propose a unified autoencoder (AE) and GAN architecture, in which the AE achieves a non-linear power signal source separation. The discriminator performs sequence classification, using a recurrent CNN to handle the temporal dynamics of an appliance energy consumption time series. Experimental results indicate the proposed method’s superiority compared to the state of the art.
