  • Publication number: 20170061444
    Abstract: An energy analysis engine is configured to receive data from information technology (IT) systems of the facility related to the one or more of input energy use, energy driver, and/or control parameters for equipment at the facility find correlations between the input parameters of energy use, energy drivers, and control parameters of the equipment and develop one or more energy models predicting energy use of the equipment based on the energy drivers and control parameters, compare the data received from the IT systems to the one or more models to determine if an energy system anomaly has occurred, and output control signals to control operation of the equipment responsive to a determination that an energy system anomaly has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20120072140
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for regulating usage of at least one utility by a utility consuming system. One aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for regulating usage of at least one utility by a utility consuming system having a plurality of utility consuming segments. The method includes: generating a load duration curve (LDC); selecting a portion of the LDC to be analyzed; generating an associated duration chart (ADC) that is indicative of one or more associated duration parameters relating to the selected portion of the LDC; and modifying usage of the utility by at least one of the utility consuming segments based, at least in part, upon the one or more associated duration parameters indicated in the first ADC.

  • Patent number: 7369950
    Abstract: A power quality analysis system includes a combination of at least one of a power quality parameter value, power quality event properties, non-power quality properties, and time properties. The parameter value and other properties is used to create power quality information that is descriptive of power quality events. The power quality information is easily configured and organized based on the desired options in order to make it more understandable and usable.

  • Publication number: 20040225625
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments comprise a Rate Engine and system and method for the use thereof, which may execute on a computer or other processor and which provides cost analysis with a finer granularity than monthly or billed costs. The Rate Engine receives inputs such as utility data and rate data, and generates cost data on a per logging interval basis. A logging interval is the finest sampling frequency available, which varies depending on the application, such as from microseconds to minutes or hours. The resulting cost breakdown allows the user understand and analyze their energy costs in the same manner that they analyze other costs of business such as labor and goods.

  • Publication number: 20040162642
    Abstract: A power management architecture for an electrical power distribution system, or portion thereof, is disclosed. The architecture includes one or more data sources, such as intelligent electronic devices (“IED's”), distributed throughout the power distribution system to manage and report the flow and consumption of the power from the system. The data sources are linked via a network to one or more decentralized world wide web browser based data processing applications, the browser application allowing multiple users to individually retrieve, process and display the data from a single, or a combination of multiple data sources. The browser application also allows users to manage the data.
