Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, method, and computer-readable media for operating a sensor network. The sensor network can include an array of sensor devices and gateways. The sensor devices can sense various conditions of an environment. The sensor devices can include temperature sensors, occupancy detectors, access sensors, motion sensors, tracking devices, etc. The sensor devices can also network and communicate with one another and the gateways in an ad hoc or mesh network. The environment can include different locations, such as warehouse, office building, a complex of buildings, cargo vehicles, containers or the like. The sensor network can be deployed for controlling power consumption, logistics, automated manufacturing, healthcare, intelligent buildings, and smart cities among many other implementations. The sensor devices can communicate sensed conditions and transmit data among each other without a predefined route. When a gateway receives the data, the data can be stored and analyzed at a different location.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method and system is provided. The system manipulates load curves corresponding to time-variant energy demand and consumption of a built environment. The system analyzes a first, second, third, fourth and a fifth set of data. The first set of data is associated with energy consuming devices. The second set of data is associated with an occupancy behavior of users. The third set of data is associated with energy storage and supply means. The fourth set of data is associated with environmental sensors. The fifth set of data is associated with energy pricing models. The system executes control routines for controlling peak loading conditions associated with the built environment. The system manipulates an optimized operating state of the energy consuming devices. The system integrates the energy storage and supply means for optimal reduction of the peak level of energy demand concentrated over the limited period of time.
