AI methods tackle district heating system outliers for energy efficiency

Researchers have explored various multivariate outlier detection methods for district heating system data, aiming to identify operational irregularities and reduce gas consumption and CO2 emissions. The study evaluated techniques including Z-score, Mahalanobis distances, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Isolation Forest, and Hotelling's T-squared test. An ensemble method, combining PCA, Isolation Forest, and the Hotelling method, was adopted as the final approach after expert consultation confirmed their relevance. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient energy consumption and reduced emissions in district heating systems through improved operational monitoring.

    Towards an approach to multivariate outlier detection for District Heating System data

    arXiv:2608.11375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we test different methods for multivariate detection of outliers in the data of transmitted heat energy in the selected substation of local District Heating System, by also considering outside ambient temperature, nam…
