Query: A Data-Efficient Approach to Behind-the-Meter Solar Generation
  Disaggregation   With the emergence of cost effective battery storage and the decline in the
solar photovoltaic (PV) levelized cost of energy (LCOE), the number of
behind-the-meter solar PV systems is expected to increase steadily. The ability
to estimate solar generation from these latent systems is crucial for a range
of applications, including distribution system planning and operation, demand
response, and non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM). This paper investigates the
problem of disaggregating solar generation from smart meter data when
historical disaggregated data from the target home is unavailable, and
deployment characteristics of the PV system are unknown. The proposed approach
entails inferring the physical characteristics from smart meter data and
disaggregating solar generation using an iterative algorithm. This algorithm
takes advantage of solar generation data (aka proxy measurements) from a few
sites that are located in the same area as the target home, and solar
generation data synthesized using a physical PV model. We evaluate our methods
with 4 different proxy settings on around 160 homes in the United States and
Australia, and show that the solar disaggregation accuracy is improved by
32.31% and 15.66% over two state-of-the-art methods using only one real proxy
along with three synthetic proxies. Furthermore, we demonstrate that using the
disaggregated home load rather than the net load data could improve the overall
accuracy of three popular NILM methods by at least 22%.
