Patent number: 11893487Abstract: Embodiments generate machine learning predictions to discover target device energy usage. One or more trained machine learning models configured to discover target device energy usage from source location energy usage can be stored. Multiple instances of source location energy usage over a period of time can be received for a given source location. Using the trained machine learning model, multiple discovery predictions for the received instances of source location energy usage can be generated, the discovery predictions comprising a prediction about a presence of target device energy usage within the instances of source location energy usage. And based on the multiple discovery predictions, an overall prediction about a presence of target device energy usage within the given source location's energy usage over the period of time can be generated.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Selim Mimaroglu, Oren Benjamin, Arhan Gunel, Anqi Shen, Ziran Feng

Publication number: 20230419106Abstract: Embodiments select households using machine learning predictions. One or more trained machine learning models can be stored. For example, at least one machine learning model can be trained to predict household income using time-series energy usage data. Input data including time-series energy usage data for a plurality of households can be received. Using the trained machine learning models, a household income is predicted per household. A subset of the households with a predicted household income that meets one or more campaign criteria can be selected. For example, the selected subset of the households can be targeted by an energy campaign that corresponds to the campaign criteria, and the energy campaign comprise one or more actions to alter energy usage for the targeted households.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Selim MIMAROGLU, Anqi SHEN, Oren BENJAMIN, Arhan GUNEL, Dmitriy FRADKIN, Ziran FENG, Zheng YANG

Publication number: 20220237476Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a machine learning predictive model for predicting a propensity to implement energy reduction settings are described. Data records including load data for a target group of dwellings is obtained. An empirical load shape is generated for each given target dwelling based on the load data. A target feature vector is generated for each given target dwelling based on at least the empirical load shape corresponding to the given target dwelling. A trained machine learning predictive model is executed on the target feature vectors of the target group of dwellings to identify a set of target dwellings that are likely to reduce electricity consumed in accordance with electricity settings based on at least a generated predicted propensity for a target dwelling to implement the electricity settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Oren BENJAMIN, Ben PACKER, Justine KUNZ, Erik SHILTS

Patent number: 11308563Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with predicting energy efficiency program participation are described. Embodiments of a method include obtaining load data for an energy customer, and determining an empirical load shape for the energy customer based on the obtained load data. A defined load shape that most closely matches the empirical load shape is selected for the energy customer. A data structure is generated to include the defined load shape, demographic data and/or site parcel data. It is determined that the energy customer is more likely to participate in an energy efficiency program than a different energy customer by applying a trained predictive model to the data structure. Transmission of information about the energy efficiency program is controlled by assigning a higher priority to a transmission to the energy customer than to a second transmission to the different energy customer.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Oren Benjamin, Ben Packer, Justine Kunz, Erik Shilts
