The energy storage system operating apparatus and method includes a pre-optimization processing unit configured to generate an operating schedule, which is for operating the energy storage system during a set period, for each predetermined section by reflecting electric power billing environment data in at least one of a consumer policy and operating characteristics of the energy storage system and configured to set an electric power reserve to prepare for a shortage of an electric power amount; and an operating control unit configured to detect, for each section, an error between a value measured as being actually consumed and a predicted value of the operating schedule generated by the pre-optimization processing unit and configured to selectively reflect the electric power reserve in a discharging amount corresponding to the operating schedule in a subsequent section according to the detected error to control an energy storage system operating unit.

Provided is a control support apparatus, comprising: an equipment abnormality estimation section for estimating an abnormality of equipment based on measurement data by measuring the equipment; a simulation section for simulating a future state of the equipment when controlling the equipment by each of a plurality of candidate control methods according to an abnormality estimation result of the equipment; and a simulation abnormality estimation section for estimating a future abnormality of the equipment based on a future state of the equipment for each of the plurality of candidate control methods.

A method and apparatus for a computer-implemented adaptive automation module comprising an event recorder to store one or more events for a predetermined period, and a timeline pattern generator logic to create a timeline for the predetermined period. The module further comprising marker creator logic to generate a marker to abstract the timeline data from the event data for controlling a device.
