Abstract

See full text

A system for monitoring and analyzing the power consumption of a thermostat-controlled cycling appliance includes a detector configured to sample power consumption to obtain a power consumption time series having resolution sufficient to extract power cycle information for one or more individual components of a thermostat-controlled cycling appliance such as a refrigerator. An analyzer extracts the power cycle information from the sampled power consumption time series, compares the power cycle information to stored information of known power cycle characteristics and classifies the technology of one or more thermostat-controlled cycling appliance components based on comparison of the power cycle information to the stored information. The analyzer is further configured to generate an output that indicates the technology.
