Abstract
A method for display emission data associated with a site device includes obtaining sensor data from at least one sensor associated with the site device, determining, based on the sensor data, emission data corresponding to emissions associated with the site device over a period of time using one or more emission systems, generating display data corresponding to the emission data and traceable relationships between the emission data and the sensor data, and operating a display device to provide the display data to a user.
Claims19
A method for auditing emissions associated with one or more emission sources, the method comprising;
- obtaining, from at least one input associated with the one or more emission sources, operational data associated with operation of the one or more emission sources;
- determining, based on the operational data, emission data corresponding to the emissions associated with the one or more emission sources over a period of time using one or more emission systems;
- determining, based on the operational data, emission uncertainty data corresponding to uncertainty of the emission data using one or more emission uncertainty systems;
- mapping, based on methods utilized by the one or more emission systems, a portion of the operational data input into the one or more emission systems to a portion of the emission data output by the one or more emission systems to determine a traceable relationship between the portion of the emission data and the portion of the operational data;
- mapping, based on methods utilized by the one or more emission uncertainty systems, an uncertainty portion of the operational data input into the one or more emission uncertainty systems to the portion of the emission uncertainty data output by the one or more emission uncertainty systems to determine a traceable uncertainty relationship between the portion of the emission uncertainty data and the uncertainty portion of the operational data;
- identifying, based on the traceable relationship, the traceable uncertainty relationship, and the portion of the operational data, at least one controllable element associated with the portion of the emission data;
- and
- operating the at least one controllable element by sending a control signal to the at least one controllable element, wherein the control signal causes the at least one controllable element to operate to decrease the emissions and the uncertainty of the emission data associated with the operation of the one or more emission sources.
