| Abstract: | In this thesis we tackle the problem of not meeting energy requirements stated in service level agreements of 'Nul-op-de-meter'-housing projects. To tackle this, we aim to reduce delays in the detection of faults in photovoltaic and heating systems. We find that failures in the heat pump and PV systems are an unlikely cause for not meeting the energy requirements in the SLAs. Regardless, we attempt to reduce fault detection delay by introducing a classification model based on principle component regression and a classification model called 'SolarClique' (Iyengar et al., 2018). Neither model is found to perform sufficiently. Future efforts should be put in the collection of reliable data on the state of the monitored systems, including data on precisely when these systems where in fault. |
