Non-Intrusive Monitoring, Developed by George
Non-intrusive monitoring, developed by George Hart, Ed Kern and Fred Schweppe in the 1980s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is commonly used in terms of non-intrusive load monitoring, a means of monitoring an electrical circuit which encompasses a particular number of appliances which are all able to turn on and off independent of one another. Instead of attaching a monitor to all of these appliances, non-intrusive monitoring uses electric meters to determine the different uses of power in a given home. Similarly, nonintrusive appliance load monitoring, engages via "a sophisticated analysis of the current and voltage waveforms of the total load, the NALM estimates the number and nature of the individual loads, their individual energy consumption, and other relevant statistics such as time-of-day variations" (Hart).
