"A new data mining strategy for performance evaluation of a shared ener" by Han Du, Xinlei Zhou et al.
This study presents a new data mining strategy to discover the performance and operational patterns of a shared energy recovery (SER) system with a data centre and a district heating network. Multidimensional clustering incorporated with a composite performance metric was first used to evaluate the typical performance of the system and reveal the interactions among different performance indicators. Decision tree analysis was then used to identify distinct system performances under different external conditions. Temporal clustering analysis was lastly used to identify the impact of recovered wa...
