IDAES PSE capabilities support the design and optimization of innovative new advanced Process Systems Engineering (PSE) capabilities to improve the efficiency and reliability of the existing fleet of coal-fired power plants while accelerating the development of a broad range of advanced fossil energy systems.
Software is an online self-service portal for testing M&V methods/tools using buildings' interval meter data. After registering as a user in the portal, that user can download test data files, run those test data files through their own M&V software, and then upload software modeling results to the online portal as a csv file. After the user has uploaded their modeling results the portal will develop statistical accuracy metrics for that M&V tool. The online portal will summarize test results for some or all of the submitted tests. This online portal has been developed by LBNL, and we have been collaborating with the Efficiency Valuation Organization (EVO) with the objective of EVO managing the portal as an ongoing service. Portal is currently posted at http://mvportal.evo-world.org/
The software was developed to serve and curate arbitrarily large datasets comprising data acquired from various mobile platforms. The software is contained in a number of server and client libraries. The former manage the ingestion, indexing, querying, and serving of the data. The latter libraries are distributed for Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows and enable users to interact with data downloaded from the service either in the form of an HDF5 file or streamed in a BSON data chunk. Using the Berkeley Data Cloud, researchers from varying fields can collaborate, compare results and curate both their raw data and the derived products of their analysis.
