Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for the generation of more accurate usage profiles for use in the modeling of existing buildings. Building sensor data associated with individual rooms in a building can be decomposed using wavelets to identify features that correspond to heat loads generated by occupant presence and/or equipment operation. From this information, the occupancy state of individual rooms can be estimated. The estimated occupancy state for the individual rooms in the building then can be used to generate a usage profile for the building. The usage profile can be used to estimate current and/or future energy usage or costs or to control equipment in the building at a current and/or future time.
Abstract:
A system and method for stability monitoring, analysis, and control of energy systems, such as electric power systems, is provided. Specifically, the system and method described herein use a Koopman mode analysis to represent the operation of individual components in an energy system and/or to determine and rank a level of stability of the individual components in the energy system. The system and method described herein also use a Koopman mode analysis to determine optimal and/or safe times to release energy stored in storage systems.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for physical data rectification using regression models. For example, the physical data may be energy infrastructure sensor data. The system may perform an estimation of sensor data during periods of data dropout using a regression model. The system may assess the accuracy of regression models through the comparison of probability distribution functions of physical data estimated using the regression model and actual physical data.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing building sensor information and decomposing the information therein to a more manageable and more useful form. Certain embodiments integrate energy-based and spectral-based analysis methods with parameter sampling and uncertainty/sensitivity analysis to achieve a more comprehensive perspective of building behavior. The results of this analysis may be presented to a user via a plurality of visualizations and/or used to automatically adjust certain building operations. In certain embodiments, advanced spectral techniques, including Koopman-based operations, are employed to discern features from the collected building sensor data.
