abstract = {The Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) concept is suggested as a practical means for energy monitoring at the most disaggregated level. Notwithstanding, a viable solution to this idea for residential applications should overcome its common and specific issues raised by technical specifications of the case study. Knowing the fact that the former has been dealt with through basic research for many years, this study presents an applied research to examine actual implementations. It focuses on load disaggregation in Quebec residences by proposing a combinatory approach based on supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques. The proposed method aims to identify major appliances by extracting overall heating demand from the aggregated one first while exploiting low sampling rate data of active power as the only source of information. The results of this work emphasize real circumstances under which existing NILM methods can be challenged. From a realistic viewpoint, this paper discusses essential remarks inevitable to achieve a fruitful NILM system, specifically, for the Quebec case.},
