Claim 16:
17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured with instructions executable by processor for creation of a desired control sequence from a desired demand curve, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising:
instructions for retrieving from a memory associated with the processor, a neural network which models a plurality of controllable devices;
instructions for retrieving from the memory associated with the processor, a desired demand curve;
instructions for receiving a simulated control sequence that comprises instructions to control the plurality of controllable devices over time for a controllable building zone;
instructions for running the neural network using the simulated control sequence or a next simulated control sequence as input and receiving a simulated demand curve as output, wherein the simulated demand curve is a time series of zone energy inputs;
instructions for computing a cost function using the simulated demand curve and the desired demand curve, wherein computing the cost function comprises determining a difference between the desired demand curve and the simulated demand curve and wherein computing the cost function further comprises performing automatic differentiation backward through the neural network producing the next simulated control sequence;
instructions for iteratively executing the running, computing, and using steps until a goal state is reached;
instructions for determining that the next simulated control sequence is a desired time series control sequence upon the goal state being reached; and
instructions for using at least a portion of the desired time series control sequence to run at least one of the plurality of controllable devices to adjust an environmental state of the controlled building zone.
