Monitoring Power Consumption by Electrical Devices Using Monitored Operational Parameters

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processing device and storing instructions executable by the processing device,
• wherein the processing device is configured for executing the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• monitoring aggregate electricity usage at a monitored environment, wherein the monitored environment comprises a plurality of electrical devices and the aggregate electricity usage comprises a combined amount of electricity used by at least some of the plurality of electrical devices;
• determining that electricity usage by an electrical device from the plurality of electrical devices has changed based on a change to a monitored operational parameter other than electrical power provided to the electrical device, wherein the value of the monitored operational parameter is changed by the electrical device performing an operation in response to the electrical device using electricity;
• and
• determining that a change in the aggregate electricity is correlated with the change in the monitored operational parameter.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing device, the instructions comprising:

• instructions for monitoring aggregate electricity usage at a monitored environment, wherein the monitored environment comprises a plurality of electrical devices and the aggregate electricity usage comprises a combined amount of electricity used by at least some of the plurality of electrical devices;
• instructions for determining that electricity usage by an electrical device from the plurality of electrical devices has changed based on a change in a monitored operational parameter other than electrical power provided to the electrical device, wherein a value of the monitored operational parameter is changed by the electrical device performing an operation in response to the electrical device using electricity;
• and
• instructions for determining an amount of the electricity usage by the electrical device by correlating a change in the aggregate electricity usage and the change in the monitored operational parameter.
