Abstract

Deep learning-based Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) methods have been widely applied to residential load identification. However, photovoltaic (PV) loads exhibit strong non-stationarity, high dependence on weather conditions, and strong coupling with multi-source data, which limit the accuracy and generalization of existing models. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a multi-scale and multi-feature fusion framework for PV disaggregation, consisting of three modules: Multi-Scale Time Series Decomposition (MTD), Multi-Feature Fusion (MFF), and Temporal Attention Decomposition (TAD). These modules jointly capture short-term fluctuations, long-term trends, and deep dependencies across multi-source features. Experiments were conducted on real residential datasets from southern China. Results show that, compared with representative baselines such as SGN-Conv and MAT-Conv, the proposed method reduces MAE by over 60% and SAE by nearly 70% for some users, and it achieves more than 45% error reduction in cross-user tests. These findings demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly enhances both accuracy and generalization in PV load disaggregation.
