SPEED Master Station

SPEED Master Station is a personal computer based system that provides management of Field Recorders and NIALMS processing to generate end-use interval data. Recorder data is retrieved by Master Station over a standard phone line (or through walk-up collection using Field Station).

The Master Station plots edge transition data on a watt-versus-VAR graph. Transitions from individual appliances form clusters of points on the watt-VAR graph which indicate the presence of a unique load.

Simultaneous and missing edge transitions are reconciled through advanced algorithms and end-use profiles are created for each load prior to load naming. By matching these load profiles a positive identification is made and the specific appliance is tagged by name.
