FLANdERS

FLANdERS - a Fully Labeled AppliaNce ElectRicity dataSet
FLANdERS contains power consumption profiles of several electrical household appliances. The aim of this dataset is to advance research in the area of electricity analytics and load monitoring. 

We recorded data of category 2-4 devices according to G.W. Hart [1] (Cat1: Permanent On; Cat2: On-Off; Cat3: Finite State Machines; Cat4: Consumer Variable Device). The profiles have been labeled manually to show all (internal) states and state changes of the monitored appliance.

The profiles were recorded using custom build plugs which record voltage, current as well as active- and reactive power. We chose a sampling rate of 4kHz to be able to analyze frequencies up to 2kHz. All data is stored as a wavpack encoded audio stream inside a matroska multimedia container (MKV). The ground truth data is encoded as a subtitle in ASS format and embedded as a second stream inside the MKV. To load the data, you can use e.g. the open source toolkit FFmpeg.
