Abstract :
This paper describes a simple system that could form the basis of a load-shaping scheme aimed at relieving distribution congestion in grids with plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The system identifies the operation of individual loads using transient patterns observed in the voltage waveform measured at an electric service outlet. The system focuses on the detection of all of the large loads connected to the secondary of a distribution transformer.
