Peakpower energy management and control system method and apparatus

Abstract

An integrated Energy Management and/or Control System method and apparatus that continually monitors power consumption on each piece of equipment 2417 and performs detailed analyses of energy consumption curves including derivatives and compares data to historical data on the same equipment as well as going online and acquiring manufacturers specs and comparing to that as well as the same model number equipment in the same or other locations, in order to detect anomalies, abnormal energy consumption or provide early warning of equipment failures.

1 . A method for using various devices and links to manufacturer's specs and datasheets or actual specs and datasheets for the various devices, to build a device profile database based on the manufacturer's specifications of how much power a refrigeration device should take, along with the heuristic data acquired from each type or model number of each device. 
     
     
         2 . Automated software for updating a device(s) profile signature over time based on real data and the real signature that is detected from devices through the Peak Power System. 
     
     
         3 . A system for automatically updating a devices profile signature over days, months, and years based on real data, and the real signature that is detected and assimilated from many similar devices through the Peak Power System; and when a device is beginning to deviate from these adaptive signature parametrics, the Peak Power System triggers an alert or alarm, regardless of what the operator has set the alert/alarm limits to.
