  • Publication number: 20190081476
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor to: assign each value of each set of values of an initial supply meter data and of an initial load meter data to one of multiple buckets based on weather conditions and/or time and date; for each bucket, generate upper and lower bounds of power provision and power consumption values, and use the upper and lower bounds to identify outlier values assigned to the bucket; for each set of values within the initial supply meter data and within the initial load meter data, generate a naive model from the non-outlier values, and use interpolation and the naive model to fill in gaps, thereby generating cleansed supply meter data and cleansed load meter data; and store the cleansed supply meter data and cleansed load meter data together as merged meter data for use in making predictions.
