LoaDiff is a diffusion-based generative model that produces year-long, sub-hourly smart‑meter electricity consumption time series. It can be conditioned on static household attributes like appliance ownership and dynamic factors such as calendar dates and outdoor temperature. Evaluations on three residential datasets show that LoaDiff generates realistic, diverse load profiles, limits memorization, retains useful information for downstream tasks, and responds coherently to conditioning changes.

The paper presents a two-part workflow for analyzing smart‑meter data to uncover patterns of residential co‑adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems and electric vehicles (EVs). First, dynamic time warping k‑means clustering identifies distinct daily import/export archetypes for PV‑only, EV‑only, co‑adopters, and neither groups, revealing a midday‑centered export pattern for many co‑adopters. Second, a bidirectional LSTM model trained on 21‑day windows achieves high detection performance (AUROC 0.991, macro‑F1 0.906) for PV/EV activity, outperforming tabular baselines and remaining robust across labeling rules and temporal splits.

The paper introduces a black-box defense strategy for smart meter data that uses a proxy-guided hierarchical reinforcement learning framework to generate battery-based load-shaping policies. These policies inject realistic yet misleading appliance-level signatures into aggregate power signals, disrupting non-intrusive load monitoring attacks. Experiments on UK-DALE and REDD datasets show significant increases in appliance-level reconstruction error and reductions in attacker F1 scores across multiple unseen NILM models.

The paper introduces FM4NILM, a prompt‑programmable foundation model that estimates the power usage of any requested appliance from whole‑home meter data, a natural‑language description, and optional activation examples. Trained on 645k sequences from seven public datasets, the lightweight transformer achieves competitive performance across twelve appliance requests, outperforming seven appliance‑specific baselines on key metrics such as event F1 and active‑window MAE. The model’s design allows new appliance coverage to be added via prompts and examples rather than building separate specialist networks.

arXiv:2307. 07191v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Energy forecasting is crucial for the power grid, but fundamentally different from general time series analysis: it highly relies on covariates like meteorological factors, and its goals must align with actual power grid operations, such as risk assessment and system reliability.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly central to power and energy systems, supporting modeling, forecasting, optimization, and control. Yet most existing works emphasize specialized applications and offer little reusable material for newcomers or interdisciplinary learners, who increasingly rely on large language models rather than building their own.
