Abstract:
1. An apparatus for determining a suggested operating schedule for at least one energy asset operated by an energy customer, the apparatus comprising: at least one communication interface; at least one memory to store processing unit-executable instructions and an objective function for the at least one energy asset, wherein the at least one energy asset comprises at least one controllable energy asset, wherein the objective function facilitates a determination of the suggested operating schedule for the at least one energy asset based at least in part on data representative of model parameters, and wherein the model parameters are: (a) an operation characteristic of the at least one controllable energy asset, (b) a thermodynamic property of the at least one energy asset, (c) a projected environmental condition during time period T; and at least one processing unit communicatively coupled to the at least one memory, wherein, upon execution of the processing unit-executable instructions, the at least one processing unit:
