Controlling a Load and an Energy Source Based on Future Energy Level Determinations

摘要

Described in this disclosure are embodiments for controlling a load and an energy source associated with an entity. A system may determine a first energy level, along with variability for the first energy level, associated with the entity for a first period (e.g., prior to a present time). The system may further determine a contextual data, along with variability for the contextual data, associated with the entity for a second period (e.g., after the present time). The first and second energy levels may be received from one or more control devices in communication with the system. The system may determine a second energy level associated with the entity for the second period. The second energy level may be based at least partly on the first energy level and the contextual data. The system may control, based at least partly on the second energy level, the load and the energy source.

主权项

1. A method for controlling a load and an energy source associated with an entity, the method comprising:
establishing a first connection to a first control device for monitoring a first energy consumption level for the load; establishing a second connection to a second control device for monitoring a first energy generation level for the energy source; receiving the first energy consumption level for the load from the first control device; receiving the first energy generation level for the energy source from the second control device; determining, for a first period, based at least partly on the first energy consumption level for the load and the first energy generation level for the energy source, a first energy level associated with the entity; determining, for a second period, a contextual data associated with the entity; determining, for the second period, based at least partly on the first energy level and the contextual data, a second energy level associated with the entity; and at least one of:
controlling the load based at least partly on the second energy level; andcontrolling the energy source based at least partly on the second energy level.
