PREDICTION OF FUTURE ENERGY AND DEMAND USAGE USING HISTORICAL ENERGY AND DEMAND USAGE

摘要

A system, method, and computer program provide predicted energy and demand usage information. The information may be communicated to management in both graphical and report form. The information provides management with an immediate understanding of projected energy and demand usage in a time frame where the energy and demand usage can be associated with underlying causes. The result is that the need to devote considerable time and expertise to obtain and understand important energy consumption data are eliminated.

主权项

1. A method for predicting demand on a periodic basis, comprising:
obtaining data comprising measured demand at a consumer facility at selected time intervals during a given period of time from an external information system; importing the data from the external information system; computing predicted demand using the imported data; and producing an output of the computed predicted demand.
