    摘要: A method collects from at least one power measuring device of an environment power consumption data indicating active power consumption during a timeframe by an electrical device in the environment. The method also collects operating parameter data indicating at least one operating parameter under which the electrical device operates during at least a portion of the timeframe. The method performs, based on observing an increase in power consumption of the electrical device during the timeframe, assessing extents of contribution by potential contributing factors to the increase in power consumption, the potential contributing factors including time-based degradation of the electrical device and the at least one operating parameter. The method outputs, based on the assessing, an indication of an extent of contribution of degradation of the electrical device to the increase in power consumption.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method of managing energy supply agreements that includes: connecting to a permissioned blockchain, the blockchain being accessible only by energy suppliers, energy transmission companies and government agencies that regulate a market for the supply of energy by energy suppliers to energy transmission companies; creating a new block for an energy purchase agreement that provides for the purchase of energy by an energy transmission company from an energy supplier; appending the new block having the energy purchase agreement to the blockchain; and responsive to the energy supplier supplying a quantity of energy to the energy transmission company in an individual energy transaction, appending the individual energy transaction as a block to the blockchain.

    摘要: A process identifies an anchor point of reference in a physical environment, the anchor point being a common point in each field of view of a plurality of users. The process establishes a grid structure in a field of view of a first user, the grid structure being a three-dimensional augmented reality object virtually positioned based on the anchor point at a common, static location in the environment relative to the users and for presentation to the users. The process selects a user-specific point of reference that corresponds to cell(s) of the grid structure against which the first user works in contributing to a collaborative construction of an augmented reality digital model. Based on receiving input from the first user, the process places augmented reality digital model elements into the cell(s), where contribution of the elements by the first user are reflected in the grid structure for the users.

    摘要: A system, method and program product for analyzing viewer reactions watching a movie. A system is disclosed that includes a theater having a plurality of seats, wherein each seat includes an associated reaction collection system for capturing reaction information using multiple sensor inputs for a viewer watching a movie; a system for identifying sentiment data from the reaction information for a plurality of viewers; a system for time synchronizing sentiment data with movie metadata; a profile processing system for collecting profile data for each viewer, correlating sentiment data with collected profile data, and clustering viewers into clusters based on collected profile data and time synchronized sentiment data; an evaluation system for predicting future success of the movie by analyzing the time synchronized sentiment data; and a recommendation system for recommending other movies to the viewers based on clusters.

    摘要: A system, method and program product for evaluating energy suppliers from a set of energy suppliers to meet demand for a distribution grid. A system is disclosed that includes: a bid volatility index (BVI) calculator that determines a BVI for each supplier for an offer; a profiling system that profiles each supplier with a set of predictor variables; a ranking system that determines a winning bid probability of each supplier based on the predictor variables; a modeling system that refines the winning bid probability based on changes to at least one predictor variable; and a scoring system that determines a confidence score for each supplier, wherein the confidence score indicates a confidence level that the supplier can meet the offer.

    摘要: A method and associated systems for a self-learning energy switch. The switch creates an array of cognitive models for each candidate energy source. Each array returns a probability that its corresponding source is the most cost-effective and operationally suitable energy supplier at that time. Each model in an array contributes to the array's returned probability as a function of a corresponding class of decision-making factors. The system fine-tunes the models by weighting them as functions of extrinsic evidentiary information that may imply future behavior of the decision-making factors and combines each model's returned probabilities to select an optimal energy source. The system then automatically routes power from the optimal source to a consumer's energy-consuming premises. This self-learning procedure repeats indefinitely, continuously tuning the models in response to identifying additional extrinsic evidence and reasons why the system's previous energy selections were either optimal or non-optimal.

    摘要: Energy load forecasts are generated via model(s) for the grid hierarchy elements for different forecast time scale periods as a function of different sets of prioritized contextual influencing factors for respective associated combinations of grid hierarchy elements and forecast time scale periods. Relative priority values of the sets of the contextual influencing factors are iteratively weighted until a revised energy load forecast generated as a function of the weighted values via the model(s) is within a threshold value of a historic energy load data value for the associated combination of the grid hierarchy element and forecast time scale period.
