Claims24
An energy management system for efficiently and continuously managing energy consumption and operation performance of a premises, the system comprising:
- an energy consumption controller associated with the premises and configured to repeatedly gather current energy consumption data from at least one electrical component associated with the premises;
- and
- a control center communicatively coupled to the energy consumption controller and configured to:
- continuously receive the current energy consumption data gathered by the energy consumption controller,
- store the received current energy consumption data as historical energy consumption data,
- analyze the historical energy consumption data to:
- (i) determine performance conditions of the at least one electrical component, and (ii) learn operating patterns of the at least one electrical component,
- perform data analysis operations using the current energy consumption data, the performance conditions data and the operating patterns of the least one electrical component, and data not gathered by the energy consumption controller, and
- dynamically generate instructions for optimizing energy efficiency, reliability and life expectancy of the at least one electrical component based the data analysis operations,
- wherein the data not gathered includes data unrelated to the energy consumption data.
An energy management system for efficiently and continuously managing energy consumption and operational performance at a premises, the system comprising:
- a server configured to continuously receive current energy consumption data from an energy consumption controller associated with at least one electrical component associated with the premises;
- and
- a computer coupled to the server and configured to:
- store the received current energy consumption data as historical energy consumption data,
- analyze the historical energy consumption data to:
- (i) determine performance conditions of the at least one electrical component, and (ii) learn operating patterns of the at least one electrical component,
- perform data analysis operations using the current energy consumption data, the performance conditions data and the operating patterns of the least one electrical component, and data not from the energy consumption controller, and
- dynamically generate instructions for optimizing energy efficiency, reliability and life expectancy of the at least one electrical component based the data analysis operations.
An energy management method for efficiently and continuously managing energy consumption and operational performance of a premises, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a server, current energy consumption data from an energy consumption controller associated with at least one electrical component at the premises;
- storing, in a data warehouse, the received current energy consumption data as historical energy consumption data,
- analyzing, by a hardware processor, the historical energy consumption data to:
- (i) determine performance conditions of the at least one electrical component, and (ii) learn operating patterns of the at least one electrical component,
- performing, by the hardware processor, data analysis operations using the current energy consumption data, the performance conditions data and the operating patterns of the least one electrical component, and data not from the at least one energy consumption controller;
- and
- dynamically generating, by the hardware processor, instructions for optimizing energy efficiency, reliability and life expectancy of the at least one electrical component based on the data analysis operations.
