Abstract

A method for behavioristic-format coding of quantitative resource data for control, planning and communication purposes in line businesses, utilities, etc. An individual coding unit can be used in a specific real-time object-oriented behavioristic control loop, and provide coherent, flexible data for control, planning, budgeting and forecasting, using a digital Tough Stochastic Decomposition (TSD) principle as the general behavioristic method. In accordance with the TSD method, the input raw data is converted in a standard rectangular digital matrix format, in which the 24-hour calendar day is divided into four 6-hour intervals. The coding apparatus is connected to primary instrumentation and provides total distributed raw data group coding, in non-programmable fashion, providing four digital-coded numbers a day, as four time history files. The coding apparatus digital output provides data packets for a distributed automation protocol over a data highway to a plurality of computing stations, where the behavioristic-format coded data is available for analysis and object-oriented programming using classic procedures such as regression and simplex optimization. The coding apparatus is also usable in local process control applications, including electrical energy demand and loss minimization. In addition, a load-leveling approximation and individual energy conservation technique is achieved via a new matrix game billing format.
