Abstract: The Energy Sector across the globe is experiencing rapid growth, driven by Internet of Things (IoT) integration technologies and advanced algorithms. This evolution is particularly evident in the ongoing competition among tech companies in the development of smart metering solutions. Despite these advancements, a critical challenge persists— the lack of definitive technical protocols for monitoring the total usage or power signatures of individual appliances, referred to as non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) in aggregate. While intrusive load monitoring (ILM) provides very accurate and thorough insights, non-intrusive methods are essential to address losses specially in residential areas. In this research a groundbreaking approach is proposed towards handling NILM problems by analyzing and aggregating the load patterns of four key appliances of daily use, namely the Coffee Machine, Fridge, Kettle, and Laptop from the ACS-F2 dataset. The generated aggregated dataset, is systematically combined using electrical formulations to yield the desired data which reflects the simultaneous operation of multiple appliances, this has been explored for the first time in the known literature. The proposed dataset contains around 6750 aggregated appliance load patterns for both training and testing. Furthermore, multiple Time Series Classifiers (TSC) were gauged using a suite of evaluation metrics, on the proposed dataset and an accuracy of 92.1% was achieved by the CATCH22 classifier.
