"An unsupervised data mining strategy for performance evaluation of gro" by Xinlei Zhou, Wenye Lin et al.
Abstract This paper presents an efficient data mining strategy to reveal the operational problems of ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. Symbolic Aggregate approXimation was employed to identify typical daily load patterns and provide a reference for data partition. Kernel Density Estimation was used to evaluate overall system performance in different operation patterns identified. To find the root causes of inefficient operations, a customized association rule mining model was developed to discover the associations among different attributes. Lastly, the inference tree technique was appl...
