Publication number: 20240135468Abstract: A CPU performs multiple regression analysis using a first regression model to calculate a tentative degree of contribution of each target facility to the total power consumption. The CPU calculates tentative power consumption of the target facility using the tentative degree of contribution of the target facility. The CPU calculates power consumption of a non-monitored facility by subtracting the total value of the tentative power consumption of the target facility from the total power consumption. The CPU classifies time-series data of the power consumption of the non-monitored facility into a plurality of clusters. The CPU performs multiple regression analysis using a second regression model to determine the degree of contribution of each of the target facilities. The CPU determines the power consumption of the target facility using the determined degree of contribution.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Fuyuki SATO, Shinichiro OTANI
