WEATHER PATTERN BASED ELECTRICAL DEMAND FORECASTING FOR A BUILDING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for forecasting electrical demand of a building, the method comprising:
- receiving a weather forecast for an upcoming day;
receiving a historical data file comprising historical weather data and historical electrical load data for the building for a plurality of previous days;
comparing, by a processor, the historical weather data for each of the plurality of previous days to the forecast; and
calculating, by the processor, a baseline electrical consumption of the building for the upcoming day based on the comparison.

18. A method for forecasting demand of a variable parameter, the method comprising:
-
receiving a forecast for a series of influence factors for an upcoming time period; receiving a historical data file comprising historical data for the series of influence factors and historical data for the variable parameter for a plurality of time periods; comparing, by a processor, the historical data for the series of influence factors for each of the plurality of time periods to the forecast for the series of influence factors for the upcoming time period; and calculating, by the processor, an estimate of the variable parameter for the upcoming time period based on the comparison. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
