This paper focuses on behind-the-meter PV monitoring and proposes a non-intrusive residential PV identification method based on feature analysis and a hybrid model combining a Multi-Graph Attention Network with a Temporal Convolutional Network (MGAT-TCN). First
the grid-connection and state-switching characteristics of household two-stage PV devices are analyzed to construct and rank a comprehensive feature set. Next
a two-stage cumulative sum (CUSUM) event detection algorithm based on a multifunctional composite sliding window
is proposed to detect PV state-switching and grid-connecting behaviors. Subsequently
the MGAT-TCN model is employed to accurately identify these behaviors using an optimized subset of features. Finally
the accuracy and real-time performance of the proposed method are validated on a self-built non-intrusive experimental platform. The results demonstrate that the proposed event detection algorithm accurately locates PV behaviors
reducing time-localization errors by at least 0.3s compared to traditional algorithms. Furthermore
the MGAT-TCN model achieves an identification accuracy of over 96%
outperforming typical neural network methods by at least 2.66%.
