Abstract: A method for a building automation system to control a comfort level in a building includes tracking a building occupant's activity data using a wearable activity tracker. A smartphone is coupled to the wearable activity tracker. Activity data is collected from the wearable activity tracker using a smartphone app operating on the building occupant's smartphone, and a comfort value is determined using the smartphone app based on the activity data. A report of the comfort value is transmitted to a building automation system (BAS) app from the smartphone, and the output of a building system is controlled based on the comfort value.

Abstract: A method for determining a charging price for an electric charging site includes receiving time tags and data obtained based on automated metering infrastructure (AMI) data for the electric charging site, and weather information for a service area of the electric charging site; clustering power consumption of the electric charging site with similar weather information and time tags; calculating a center of mass and a distribution confidence parameter for the clustered power consumption to obtain a look-up table; retrieving historical information of voltage VPCC and injection power Psite pairs that is measured at a point of common coupling (PCC) of the electric charging site; receiving weather forecast information for the service area of the electric charging site; and calculating a dynamic hosting capacity (DHC) curve and a price curve based on the center of mass and the distribution confidence parameter, the VPCC and Psite pairs, and the weather forecast information.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for improving predictions of electrical power usage. In the method and system, load and/or environmental data is classified into data sets that correspond to different modes of operation of an electrical load. Different predictive models are also provided for each set of classified data. The predictive models may provide more efficient and/or more accurate predictions of power usage since each model is limited to a particular mode of operation.

Abstract: A method for performing energy management for a building includes generating a stack of energy loads representative of a plurality of building energy loads. The energy loads are prioritized from highest priority energy loads to lowest priority energy loads. The prioritized energy loads are then compared to a building power threshold. The lowest priority energy loads are shed until a sum of remaining energy loads is equal to or less than the building power threshold. The remaining energy loads are serviced. The processes of prioritizing the energy loads, comparing the prioritized energy loads to a building power threshold, and shedding the lowest priority energy loads is repeated in response to changes in circumstances affecting the building.

Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of building power management are disclosed herein. One exemplary embodiment is a system comprising a load management controller and a power circuit interrupter. The load management controller is configured to repeatedly perform a first test wherein a time rate of change of temperature of building regions is determined, repeatedly perform a second test wherein a lighting controller is operated to rank a plurality of lighting loads according to ambient light of building regions associated with the plurality of lighting loads, assign the plurality of HVACR loads and lighting loads to a plurality of load shed groups, and reduce power consumption by the plurality of HVACR loads and the plurality of lighting loads in order of the ranked load shed groups effective to minimize occupant perceptibility of the power consumption reduction while implementing the operator specified priority criteria.

Abstract: A system for managing the load profile of an electric network is provided. The system includes: a plurality of loads, and each respective load of the plurality of loads is assigned a priority, an energy storage system, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a predicted energy usage of the electric network at an end of a time period, based on comparing the predicted energy usage to a target energy usage, determine an adjustment of the plurality of loads based on the respective priority of each respective load. Based on the adjustment of the plurality of loads and a charge of the energy storage system, the controller dynamically assigns a priority to the energy storage system, and performs the adjustment of the plurality of loads and the energy storage system using the respective priority of each respective load and the dynamically assigned priority of the energy storage system.
