CENTRALIZED CONTROLLER FOR INTELLIGENT CONTROL OF THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED DEVICES

摘要

A control module for controlling a thermostatically controlled device includes a processor apparatus adapted to obtain first values for a plurality of parameters for the thermostatically controlled device, the parameters including actual power consumed by the thermostatically controlled device and a number of input parameters, determine a learned correlation function for the thermostatically controlled device based on the obtained values, wherein the learned correlation function relates power consumption of the thermostatically controlled device to at least the number of input parameters, obtain second values for each of the number of input parameters for a future usage period, and determine at least one recommended set point for the thermostatically controlled device using the learned correlation function and at least the second values for each of the number of input parameters.
