Patent number: 10860615Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to a system that analyzes customers' AMI load curves, identifies evening peak users as defined by their load curves, and provides Energy Efficiency (EE) advice related to their periods of high use. For example, identified high evening users can be sent an email with normative comparisons on evening load use, along with tips to reduce energy usage. Other aspects relate to the additional targets/communications. Aspects of the subject technology relate to categorizing a user's energy consumption tendencies based on a user's load curve and providing customized content based on the user's category. By taking into consideration the user's actual energy consumption patterns, the system may be able to provide more relevant content to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: OPower, Inc.Inventors: Erik Shilts, Garner Chung, Suelyn Yu, David Royer

Patent number: 10754918Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to systems and methods for calculating a thermal sensitivity score. In some aspects, the method includes steps for receiving temperature information for a first geographic location, receiving resource consumption data for each of a plurality of similar consumption locations in the first geographic location, and generating, by the processors, a thermal sensitivity model based on the temperature information and the resource consumption data for each of the plurality of similar consumption locations. In some aspects, the steps can further include computing a thermal sensitivity score for each of the similar consumption locations using the thermal sensitivity model. Systems and machine readable media are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: OPower, Inc.Inventors: Suelyn Yu, Garner Chung, Benjamin Packer, Erik Shilts

Patent number: 10229464Abstract: The subject disclosure relate to a method for calculating a wind sensitivity score. In some aspects, a method of implementing the technology can include steps for receiving wind speed information for a first geographic location over a first time period, receiving resource consumption data for each of a plurality of similar consumption locations in the first geographic location over the first time period; and generating a wind sensitivity model based on the wind speed information and the resource consumption data for each of the plurality of similar consumption locations. In some aspects, the method may further include steps for computing a wind sensitivity score for each of the similar consumption locations using the wind sensitivity model.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: OPOWER, INC.Inventors: Suelyn Yu, Garner Chung, Benjamin Packer, Erik Shilts

Patent number: 10108973Abstract: The subject technology provides for identifying a set of similar users. Energy usage data is retrieved for the set of similar users. Next, based at least on the retrieved energy usage data, a comparison of energy usage of each user in the set of similar users is performed. Based on the comparison of energy usage, at least one user is selected from the set of similar users to include in a campaign. A target for energy usage is then identified for the at least one user.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2014Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: OPOWER, INC.Inventors: David Royer, Suelyn Yu, Kerri Morabito
