Methods And Systems For Generating Virtual Smart-meter Data
Computational methods and systems for generating virtual smart-meter data from operational data collected by intelligent controllers in buildings that do not have smart meters are disclosed. Methods and systems include collecting operational data from a number of intelligent controllers and collecting smart-meter data from a number of smart meters associated with the intelligent controllers. The collected operational data and associated smart-meter data are used to generate a mathematical model relating operational data to smart-meter data. The mathematical model can be used to calculate virtual smart-meter data from operational data collected by an intelligent controller located in a building that does not have a smart meter.

- 1. A computer system comprising:
one or more processors; one or more data-storage devices; and machine-readable instructions stored in one or more of the one or more data-storage devices that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
accessing smart-meter data from a plurality of smart meters, wherein the plurality of smart meters measure energy usage for a plurality of homes;
accessing operational data from a plurality of intelligent controllers, wherein the plurality of intelligent controllers control energy-consuming subsystems in the plurality of homes;
receiving operational data of an intelligent controller in an enclosure;
generating smart-meter data for the enclosure as a function of the operational data of the intelligent controller, wherein the function is based at least in part on the operational data from the plurality of intelligent controllers and the smart-meter data from the plurality of intelligent controllers; and
causing the intelligent controller to operate an energy-consuming system in the enclosure based at least in part on the generated smart-meter data.
- 11. A method to be carried out by a computer system that includes one or more processors and one or more data-storage devices, the method comprising:
accessing smart-meter data from a plurality of smart meters, wherein the plurality of smart meters measure energy usage for a plurality of homes; accessing operational data from a plurality of intelligent controllers, wherein the plurality of intelligent controllers control energy-consuming subsystems in the plurality of homes; receiving operational data of an intelligent controller in an enclosure; generating smart-meter data for the enclosure as a function of the operational data of the intelligent controller, wherein the function is based at least in part on the operational data from the plurality of intelligent controllers and the smart-meter data from the plurality of intelligent controllers; and causing the intelligent controller to operate an energy-consuming system in the enclosure based at least in part on the generated smart-meter data.
