SmartMeterFM uses flow matching for versatile smart meter data tasks

Researchers have developed SmartMeterFM, a novel conditional flow matching model designed for generating, imputing, and super-resolving smart meter data. This model can perform all these tasks using a single set of weights without task-specific retraining, by conditioning on customer attributes and numerical profile constraints. A case study using Dutch smart meter data demonstrated that SmartMeterFM outperformed existing task-specific baselines in imputation and super-resolution tasks, achieving significantly better results. AI

IMPACT This model offers a unified approach for smart meter data processing, potentially streamlining workflows for energy sector analysis and forecasting.

    SmartMeterFM: Flow Matching for Smart Meter Data Generation, Imputation, and Super-Resolution Without Retraining

    arXiv:2601.21706v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Distribution system operators need realistic load and generation profiles when measurements are unavailable, incomplete, or too coarse for the intended analysis. Training separate models for synthetic data generation, imputation…
