Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0141280A1] Certain embodiments include a method and apparatus of planning a device consuming an ephemeral, fungible commodity based upon a knowledge interval collection comprising at least one knowledge interval of the ephemeral, fungible commodity at a time interval containing a cost. The method comprises determining the ephemeral, fungible commodity needs over the time interval operation (2004) and examining the knowledge interval collection based upon the ephemeral, fungible commodity needs over the time interval to create a device operating schedule operation (2008). Further embodiments include a method and apparatus of planning and operating the device.
