Processing load profiles for consumption management systems

摘要

Methods and systems using aggregated electrical system load profiles in determining additional load profiles, and determining consumption management system characteristics, features, and operating requirements at a site are disclosed, along with methods of generating and maintaining databases of load profile information and consumption management system requirements. By using some embodiments of the methods and systems described herein, it is faster and easier to design and implement effective consumption management systems, to determine problematic electrical systems at a site, and to diminish anomalous consumption patterns in an aggregate unprofiled electrical system load profile.

1. A method of using a controller to execute stored instructions to obtain load profiles for unprofiled loads at a site, comprising:
obtaining a single aggregate unprofiled electrical system load profile covering a plurality of unprofiled electrical systems at a site by measuring electrical characteristics of the plurality of unprofiled electrical systems with a consumption measurement system; identifying an anomalous consumption pattern in the aggregate unprofiled electrical system load profile, the anomalous consumption pattern comprising consumption values that represent a one-time occurring pattern or a recurring pattern in the aggregate unprofiled electrical system load profile that meet a predetermined set of guidelines or criteria to identify an anomaly in the aggregate unprofiled electrical system load profile; identifying an individual electrical system at the site contributing to a cause of the anomalous consumption pattern in the aggregate unprofiled electrical system load profile, the individual electrical system being identified due to correlation between consumption of the individual electrical system and the consumption values of the anomalous consumption pattern; and obtaining consumption management data for the individual electrical system using the consumption measurement system.
