An Approach to Disaggregating Total Household Water Consumption into Major End-Uses

摘要: The aim of this project is to assign domestic water consumption different devices based on the information provided by meter. We monitored a sample Barcelona and Murcia with flow switches that recorded when particular device was in use. In addition, meter readings were every 5 1 s, respectively, Murcia. initial work used data, method later verified adjusted data. proposed employs an algorithm characterizes each device, using establish parameters which, afterwards, provide for adjusting household studied. Once have been adjusted, assigns device. efficacy assignation process summarized terms of: sensitivity specificity. provides correct identification rate between 70 % 80 %; sometimes even higher, depending how well chosen reflect patterns. Considering high variability patterns fact use characterized only aggregate provides, results are quite satisfactory.
