[ detailed description ] embodiments
The following detailed description provides further details regarding the drawings and embodiments of the present patent application. For the sake of clarity, reference numerals and descriptions of elements that are repeated between the figures are omitted. The terminology used throughout the description is provided as an example and is not intended to be limiting. For example, use of the term "automatic" may include fully automatic or semi-automatic embodiments, involving control of certain aspects of the embodiments by a user or administrator, depending on the desired implementation by one of ordinary skill in the art practicing embodiments of the present application. The user may make the selection through a user interface or other input means, or through an appropriate algorithm. The embodiments described in this patent application can be implemented individually or jointly and the functions of an embodiment can be implemented in any way depending on the desired implementation.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a parsed feature (parsed signature) analysis according to one embodiment of the present patent application. A user interface 100 presenting analytical feature analysis according to one embodiment of the present patent application is shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 1, a plurality of circuit-based sensors 105 (e.g., current transformers) may be coupled to a local power system 110 to monitor the total power usage of a location (e.g., commercial, industrial, or residential building). In one embodiment, a plurality of circuit-based sensors 105 may be located at a central power distribution point (e.g., distribution panel 110 (e.g., a switchboard, a breaker panel, an electrical panel, etc.) at the location to collect power usage data. According to one example system, a plurality of circuit-based sensors 105 may be used in an electrical panel 110, on which they are located. In this example, one sensor is attached to each circuit, and the sensors may be interconnected with a data transmitter to connect to a cloud analysis system 120. For example, multiple circuit-based sensors may be used for ultra-high frequency decomposition (e.g., 8 kilohertz).
Each circuit-based sensor 105 may capture a power consumption signal (represented by power consumption features 115a-115 e) associated with a separate circuit in the local power system 110, each separate circuit being connected to a separate device. The individual power consumption characteristics (power draw signatures)115a-115e may be separated from the total characteristics 125 (e.g., the total power consumption of the local power system 110). The present embodiment may provide a user interface 130 to display the overall characteristic 125, the overall characteristic 125 being overlaid with the individual power consumption characteristics 115a-115e in the user interface.
According to an embodiment, the one or more circuit-based sensors 105 may be current transformers 205 described below. Each current transformer 205 may be connected to each circuit of the local power system and collect power consumption information that is analyzed to determine power performance of each device connected to the local power system.
Fig. 2A-2C are schematic diagrams of exemplary components of a current transformer sensor system according to one embodiment of the present patent application. As shown, sensors (e.g., current transformer sensor 205) are attached to circuit lines within a power distribution box and connected to a data transmitter 225. The data transmitter 225 is coupled to an analysis engine (e.g., an analysis processor or software running on a computing device such as the computing device 1905 described below in fig. 19). Various arrangements are available for sensors and data transmission as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, each sensor may include a near-field communication (near-field communication) means to transmit the collected data to the analysis engine via the data transmitter 225. In some embodiments, the plurality of current transformer sensors 205 may be interconnected and connected to a hub (hub) that includes the data transmitter 225 to provide reliable communication and reduce signal interference at the switchbox of the local power system.
In one embodiment, the current transformer 205 may include a body 215 including an upper half; a lower half hinged to the upper half; and a latch mechanism 207. The latch mechanism includes a slider mechanism that can open the body 215 into upper and lower halves to surround the wires of the building circuit. The current transformer 205 may also include an indicator element 206, such as an LED or other visual indicator, to provide status and/or indicating information such as connection status, signal status, or any other information for the mobile application. By providing an opening, live cables of the circuit can be inserted into the sensing gap 204. The current transformer 205 draws (extract) current from the live cable passing through the sensing gap 204. The upper and lower halves can be separated by pulling a grip tab 207 away from the sensing gap 204. The exemplary structure of the current transformer 205 may allow the upper and lower halves of the body to be opened safely with one hand, even when wearing gloves.
In embodiments, the current transformer 205 may include enclosed (encapsulated) upper and lower ferrite cores (ferrite core) and a circuit board in combination with a hall effect sensor that draws current through the live cable passing through the sensing gap 204. In some embodiments, although a Hall-effect sensor (Hall-effect sensor) is between the lower ferrite core pieces, other types of sensors may be incorporated into the area around the sensing gap 204 to monitor and detect the current through the sensing gap 204 in a non-contact manner. For example, a temperature sensor, a flow sensor, or any other type of sensor that may be apparent to one skilled in the art.
Additionally, in some embodiments, the current transformer 205 can draw current from live cables passing through the sensing gap 204. Further, in some embodiments, a bladed protrusion (bladed projection) may be incorporated into the sensing gap 204 to allow an energized cable passing through the sensing gap 204 to be penetrated (perforated) and tapped (tapped) directly (e.g., monitored directly or in contact).
As shown in fig. 2B, a current transformer 205 may be attached to each circuit of the local power system. In some embodiments, multiple current transformers 205a, 205b may be interconnected by multiple connectors 210. For example, the current transformer 205a may include one connector 210a, and the connector 210a may be connected with one receiver (receiver) 211b of another current transformer 205b, e.g., in a daisy chain configuration. The daisy chain structure minimizes space and wiring (wiring) within the electrical distribution box. Other embodiments may include a bus or switching topology (switching topology) for connecting sensors (e.g., current transformers 205) with the data transmitter 225.
As shown, the current transformer 205 includes a body that includes a female (male) connector 210 and a male (male) connector 211. For example, the female connector 210 may include a female mini-HDMI port and the male connector 211 may include a male mini-HDMI plug. However, other types of ports and plugs may be apparent to those skilled in the art. In some embodiments, one or both of the female connector 210 and the male connector 211 may be connected to a sensor via a cable. The female connector 210 and the male connector 211 may be used to implement a connection between a plurality of current transformers 205a and 205 b. For example, one female connector 210a of one current transformer 205a may be connected to one male connector 211B of another current transformer 205B as shown in fig. 2B.
As described in detail below, installing the sensor system may include the current transformer sensors 205a and 205b being attached to the circuit lines 5a-5c within the switchbox 7, the current transformer sensors 205a and 205b being interconnected with the plurality of connectors 210 and connected to the data transmitter 225, the data transmitter 225 being connected to an analysis engine (e.g., an analysis processor or software running on a computing device such as the computing device 1905 described below in fig. 19). For example, the first and last sensors in the daisy chain configuration may be connected to the data transmitter 225 by extension cables. To accommodate (accmodate) different layouts or types of switchboards, the data transmitter 225 may be daisy-chained with more than one sensor. During installation of the sensor system, various additional components may be included to accommodate construction and physical assembly, such as the extension cable 9, the voltage tap cable 11, and other mounting features such as a nipple (13 a) and a locknut (13 b). In the present embodiment, preferably, the extension cable 9 is a 200mm, 1m, 3m current transformer chain extension cable, the joint 13a is a 1 "joint, and the locknut 13b is a 1" locknut.
As shown in fig. 2B and 2C, installing the current transformer may include opening the upper and lower halves of the current transformer and clamping the current transformer to the circuit to be monitored, connecting the current transformer chain with an extension cable and guiding wires through knock-out holes (knock-out) into the FWC. A certain distance needs to be left between the adjacent current transformers.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a provisioning (committing) process 300 according to an embodiment of the present patent application. The process may be used to register (register) or set up a sensor (e.g., current transformer 205) as part of a power management or monitoring system connected to a power distribution system, such as the power distribution system of a building. In some embodiments, an application (e.g., a mobile application running on a computing device such as computing device 1905 described in fig. 19 below) may facilitate (factitioate) installation and setup of sensors in adaptation to an analysis engine of the power management or monitoring system. The application may run on a handheld device (e.g., a smartphone) and interact with the sensor during sensor installation. The plurality of sensors may include indicator elements 206, such as LEDs or other visual indicators, to provide status and/or indicator information, such as connection status, signal status, or any other information, to the mobile application.
In step 310, the application launches a panel setup interface to guide the user in determining the location of the component to be connected. The application may allow a user to identify or designate each circuit in the circuit panel and any devices associated with each circuit in the circuit panel (e.g., heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system circuits, lighting circuits, server room circuits, etc.). For example, a generic (generic) schematic of a circuit panel may be provided to allow a user to specify which circuits of the circuit panel are to be set. In other embodiments, a particular circuit panel setting may be retrieved from the library based on the model number or other unique identifier (identifier).
In step 320, the application may direct the user to set voltage taps on one of the circuit breakers to provide power to the sensors and data transmitters. If there is at least one spare (spare) breaker per phase, the voltage tap can be set without closing any breaker. For example, a user may open the panel and look for one spare circuit breaker on each phase. If there is no backup breaker, but there is a slot in the panel, a backup breaker can be inserted and used for voltage tapping. Otherwise, the power supply may be briefly turned off by the voltage tap breaker.
The voltage tap cables may be connected to data transmitter terminal blocks (terminal blocks) and the voltage tap breakers may be opened. The data transmitter voltage tap may include a built-in-line fuse and may not require additional fuse protection. In some embodiments, a light ring on the data transmitter 225 may be used to indicate that the voltage tap setting was successful. For example, a pulsing white light may indicate that the system is functioning properly and a flashing (blinking) red light may indicate that troubleshooting is to follow.
In step 330, the application (application) prompts the user to assign (assign) one sensor (e.g., current transformer 205) to each circuit of the local power system. The application may receive communications from within the sensor through an indicator on the sensor (e.g., LED206 or other visual indicator), assigning a tag to each circuit. In some embodiments, each selected circuit breaker may be flagged by the application (flagged as "switch for VS sub-metering").
In step 340, a photo recognition sequence may capture information conveyed by the pointer using a camera of the handheld device. For example, the LED206 on the sensor may flash at a particular frequency or color that is captured by the camera of the handheld device, and the application may associate the sensor with the assignment circuit.
In some embodiments, it may be determined in step 345 whether all sensors that need to be assigned have already been assigned. For example, the user may be provided the option of assigning more sensors. If not all sensors have been assigned (e.g., no at step 345), the process 300 may return to step 330 and steps 330 and 340 may repeat. Conversely, if all sensors have been assigned (e.g., a yes outcome to step 345), the process 300 may proceed to step 350.
In step 350, the application may establish a network connection through the data transmitter to transmit the collected data to a computing device (e.g., computing device 1905 described below in fig. 19). The network connection may be a wireless network connection, a bluetooth network connection, a cellular (cellular) communication network connection, or any other type of network connection apparent to those skilled in the art.
In step 360, the application may selectively provide the user with various troubleshooting options using an indicator (e.g., LED206 or other visual indicator) associated with each sensor and/or an LED ring of the data transmitter. Table 1 below describes exemplary troubleshooting (troubleshooting) information transmitted by indicators or data on sensors, or by handheld devices.

As shown, the user interface 400 may provide a plurality of fields (fields) or control selections 405 and 430 for setting the panel. The field 405 may be used to identify the panel name or provide a name for the panel. A selection box (check box)410 may be used to identify a three-phase panel (three-phase panel). Control field 415 may be used to identify the voltage of the panel. Control field 420 may be used to identify a split-phase panel. The control field 425 may be used to identify wire diameters (sizes) or breakers that exceed a certain threshold (e.g., wire diameters greater than 4AWG or breaker rated current greater than 75A). Further, the control area 430 may be used to specify (specify) the color of the cable or wire associated with the panel.

As shown, the user interface 500 can provide a plurality of fields or control selections 505 and 520 to assist a user in setting voltage taps to provide power to the data transmitter 225. The field 505 may be used to specify whether the voltage tap is set using a backup breaker or using a wired breaker. Fields 510 may provide a warning or prompt to the user (e.g., "ensure circuit breaker closed. connect voltage tap cable to circuit breaker.") fields 515 and 520 may provide instructions to the user that can be executed to set the voltage tap without having to consult an operating manual or assembly manual.

For example, electricians typically place a labeled (label) schematic on the side door within a power distribution box to identify where a particular room or equipment is serviced by a circuit (service). Thus, an image taken with the schematic may include tags that specify that circuit 1 serves air conditioning, circuit 2 serves outdoor lights, circuit 3 serves a closet in the third floor, and so on. The user may also acquire an image of the actual switchbox including the sensor attached to the circuit.
The setup application may analyze the schematic and the image of the sensor to suggest a label to assign for each sensor. For example, the application may analyze the schematic image using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to collect labels assigned to the circuit. The application may associate the tag of the schematic with a sensor attached to a corresponding location of the circuit. For example, the sensor (e.g., current transformer 205) of each location may be identified through the indicator interface 206 of the sensor. For example, the application may signal each sensor to display a different or alternating (altering) state via the indicator before acquiring the image. The application may analyze the image based on the status of each sensor. The application may automatically assign (assign) a tag to each sensor, the tag being used to classify the devices detected by the sensor during the power profiling process.
