Monitoring the electric power consumption of machines in manufacturing becomes more and more important due to rising electricity costs and environmental awareness. This paper proposes a cost-efficient monitoring concept requiring significantly fewer electricity meters. Power consumption of several machines is monitored aggregately and then broken down into the estimated power consumption of each machine by means of a disaggregation procedure utilizing machine data acquisition. In this paper the disaggregation procedure is presented, uncertainty limitations are discussed and an application example of an industrial environment is given.
