摘要
With the increasingly widespread of advanced metering infrastructure,electric load clustering is becoming more essential for its great potential in analytics of consumers’energy consumption patterns and preference through data mining.Moreover,a variety of electric load clustering techniques have been put into practice to obtain the distribution of load data,observe the characteristics of load clusters,and classify the components of the total load.This can give rise to the development of related techniques and research in the smart grid,such as demand-side response.This paper summarizes the basic concepts and the general process in electric load clustering.Several similarity measurements and five major categories in electric load clustering are then comprehensively summarized along with their advantages and disadvantages.Afterwards,eight indices widely used to evaluate the validity of electric load clustering are described.Finally,vital applications are discussed thoroughly along with future trends including the tariff design,anomaly detection,load forecasting,data security and big data,etc.
