International Classification:

H02J 3/00

G06Q 10/04

Abstract:

An apparatus is provided for performing validation, estimation, and editing (VEE) on interval based energy consumption streams. The apparatus includes a VEE processor and a VEE configuration engine. The VEE processor executes VEE rules on each of the interval based energy consumption streams within a specified time period to generate and store corresponding post VEE readings that are stored in a post VEE readings data stores. The post VEE readings include tagged energy consumption data sets that are each associated with a corresponding one of the interval based energy consumption streams. Each of the tagged energy consumption data sets has groups of contiguous interval values tagged as having been validated. The VEE configuration engine reads the post VEE readings upon initiation of an event and, for the each of the tagged energy consumption data sets, creates anomalies having a plurality of different durations using only the groups of contiguous interval values, and generates estimates for the anomalies by employing estimation techniques and, for each of the different durations, selects one of the estimation techniques for subsequent employment when performing VEE of subsequent energy consumption data for the corresponding one of the p interval based energy consumption streams.

International Classification:

H02J 3/00
G05B 13/02

Abstract:

An apparatus for configuring validation, estimation, and editing (VEE) rules for performing VEE on interval-based energy consumption streams includes a data stores, a rules processor, and a process control element. The stores provides tagged data sets each associated with a corresponding one of the streams, each of the sets comprising groups of contiguous interval values tagged as having been validated. The rules processor reads the stores upon initiation of an event and, for the each of the sets, creates anomalies having different durations using only the groups of values, the groups of values corresponding to correct data, and generates estimates for the anomalies by employing estimation techniques for each of the durations and, for the each of the durations, selects a corresponding one of the techniques for subsequent employment when performing VEE of subsequent energy consumption data associated with the each of the durations for the corresponding one of the streams. The control element executes functions on the streams translated by the rules processor, and directs one or more system elements to change state.

WENDY CHEN - Boston MA, US

International Classification:

G05F 1/66

Abstract:

A building control system that includes a post VEE readings data stores, a rules processor, and a building controller. The stores provide tagged data sets that are each associated with a corresponding one of energy consumption streams, each of the sets having groups of contiguous interval values tagged as having been validated. The rules processor reads the stores and creates anomalies having different durations using only the groups of contiguous interval values and generates estimates for the anomalies by employing estimation techniques for each of the different durations and selects one of the estimation techniques for subsequent employment. The building controller receives post VEE readings and outside temperatures corresponding to the interval-based streams and determines and controls cumulative energy consumption corresponding to the interval-based streams and manages the cumulative energy consumption by scheduling run times for building elements that are coupled to the building controller.
