{"url":"/dataset/synd","name":"SynD","full_name":"A Synthetic Energy Dataset for Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring in Households","description_markdown":"SynD is a synthetic energy dataset with a focus on residential buildings. This dataset is the result of a custom simulation process that relies on power traces of household appliances. The output of simulations is the power consumption of 21 household appliances as well as the household-wide consumption (i.e. mains). Therefore, SynD's can be used for Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring, also referred to as Energy Disaggregation.\r\n\r\nSource: [A synthetic energy dataset for non-intrusive load monitoring in households](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-020-0434-6)","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://springernature.figshare.com/collections/SynD_A_Synthetic_Energy_Dataset_for_Non-Intrusive_Load_Monitoring_in_Households/4716179","introduced_date":"2020-03-11","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":null,"license":{"name":"CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)","url":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"modalities":[{"name":"Environment","url":"/datasets/modality/environment"},{"name":"Time series","url":"/datasets/modality/time-series"},{"name":"Physics","url":"/datasets/modality/physics"}],"tasks":[{"name":"Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring","url":"/task/non-intrusive-load-monitoring","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/non-intrusive-load-monitoring"}],"languages":[{"name":"English","url":"/datasets/language/english"}],"variants":["SynD"],"data_loaders":[{"repo":"https://github.com/NimanthaMadhushan/nilm_dataset","url":"https://github.com/NimanthaMadhushan/nilm_dataset","frameworks":["tf"]}],"num_papers_in_archive":0,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
