Demand-side load management (DSM) requires greater role-play by end-users. To lower the investment for this load management concept, non-intrusive load management (NILM) was introduced as the solution. However, most of the mathematical techniques used in NILM are complex. This may hinder users from actively take part in the energy management effort. This paper explores the possibilities of applying change point detection techniques with help of differentiation and application of filters. These filters were selected strictly based on site-specific conditions. As part of the NILM implementation, a new and practical technique was developed for this paper. It was found that the developed technique, despite its simplicity it can identify the electrical equipment which added the significant load demand. The performance of the technique was found to be satisfactory as compared to results reported by other researchers.
