Determining regions of influence of fluid moving devices

摘要

A method for determining regions of influence of a plurality of fluid moving devices in an infrastructure is provided. In the method, a plurality of clusters are generated, with each of the plurality of clusters containing a representation of fluid supply data pertaining to a fluid moving device and one or more of the plurality of sensors based upon collected sensor and fluid supply data. In addition, regions of influence of each of the plurality of fluid moving devices are identified from an analysis of the generated clusters.

1. A method for determining regions of influence of a plurality of fluid moving devices in an infrastructure, said method comprising:
collecting fluid supply data pertaining to an environmental condition of the fluid at respective outlets of each of the plurality of fluid moving devices; collecting sensor data from a plurality of sensors pertaining to an environmental condition of the fluid detected at positions distanced from the plurality of fluid moving devices; computing a correlation metric-based value for each of the plurality of sensors with respect to each of a plurality of fluid supply conditions over a predetermined time series during which the plurality of fluid moving devices are not put through a commissioning process in which each of the plurality of fluid moving devices are individually manipulated to identify correlations between the plurality of fluid moving devices and the plurality of sensors; generating, in a computing device, a plurality of clusters through implementation of a clustering operation on the correlation metric-based values, wherein each of the plurality of clusters contains a representation of the fluid supply data and the sensor data of one or more of the plurality of sensors; and identifying regions of influence of each of the plurality of fluid moving devices from an analysis of the generated clusters.
