    Patent number: 11605034
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for determining the confidence that predicted demand charge savings resulting from deploying an energy management system at a site will match actual cost savings. A processor obtains predicted demand charge savings resulting from deploying the energy management system at the site, and also obtains demand-related data describing at least two of load predictability, load shape, and battery capacity of the energy management system. The processor determines a confidence score representing the confidence that the predicted demand charge savings will result in view of the demand-related data, and displays the confidence score on a display for subsequent use by a user.

  • Removal of effects of asymptotically decaying DC bias from vibration waveform
    Patent number: 11598753
    Abstract: A computer implemented method processes time waveform machine vibration data that are indicative of operational characteristics of a machine. The data, which were measured on the machine over a period of time having a begin time and an end time, are accessed from a memory or storage device. An integer number M of waveform samples are determined from the data to be averaged, and an asymptotically decaying DC bias component in the data is derived using a moving average of the M number of waveform samples. The DC bias component is extrapolated from the begin time of the waveform back to an earlier time and from the end time of the waveform forward to a later time. The DC bias component is then subtracted from the time waveform data, and a Fast Fourier Transform is performed on the data to generate a spectrum.
