Hierarchical Transformer-Based Load Disaggregation Model for Cluster Devices Perception
摘要
In clustered device scenarios, effective energy management is constrained by inadequate load disaggregation accuracy and unclear device operating state acquisition. To address this, this paper proposes a hierarchical Transformer model integrating the multi-head self-attention mechanism for clustered electrical equipment load disaggregation. The model comprises three core components: an input embedding layer transforming raw electrical data into high-dimensional features, a hierarchical Transformer encoder capturing multi-scale local transient patterns and global operational trends via 4 parallel attention heads and layered progressive extraction, and a classification output layer generating precise device-state probabilities. Experiments on real household datasets show strong performance: 1.56% mean absolute percentage error, 90.1% of power measurements identified within 20W, 100% accuracy for binary-state devices, and 90.24% for complex multi-state devices. It provides robust technical support for energy management systems demanding fine-grained load monitoring and rapid demand response.
