Carbon Footprint Tracking Based on Non-intrusive Load Monitoring Technology

With the growing concern for environmental sustainability and the need to mitigate climate change, accurately tracking carbon footprints has become crucial. This paper explores the use of NILM technology for carbon footprint tracking at the household level. A carbon footprint tracking model is proposed based on NILM technology. On this basis, the relationship between carbon footprint and NILM technology is explored. An example is designed to verify the validity of NILM technology in calculating carbon footprint. The simulation results show that the NILM technology can be used to track the carbon footprint at the household. Finally, the paper is summarized.
