# A Synthetic Energy Consumption Dataset for NILM

With the roll-out of smart meters, the importance of effective non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) techniques has risen rapidly. NILM

estimates the power consumption of individual devices given their aggregate consumption. In this way, the combined consumption must only be

monitored at a single, central point in the household, providing various

advantages such as reduced cost for metering equipment.

As related Machine Learning problems, research and development requires a sufficient amount of data to train and validate new approaches. As a viable alternative to collecting datasets in buildings during expensive and time-consuming measurement campaigns, the idea of generating synthetic datasets for NILM gain momentum recently.

With SynD, we introduce a synthetic energy dataset with focus on residential buildings. We release 180 days of synthetic power data on aggregate level (i.e. mains) and individual appliances. SynD is the result of a custom simulation process that relies on power traces of real household appliances.
