Energy metering and analytics

Energy metering that adds up, and analytics that forecasts generation and consumption.

Automatic generation and consumption forecasts, scheduled reports

The platform takes metering data, keeps the history, factors in weather reports, forecasts generation and consumption and sends reports to Telegram and e-mail.

Animation: three metering sites send interval data through a data concentrator to the platform; an interval from TS-3 goes missing and is flagged as a gap, not a zero; after a re-poll the interval arrives, the forecast is updated from the weather report and the scheduled report goes to Telegram and e-mailTS-1TS-2TS-3Data concentratorPlatform serverTelegramE-mailPlatformData completeMissing intervalDaily consumptionforecastactual08:0012:0016:0020:00Data completeness by site10:0012:0014:0016:00TS-1TS-2TS-3missingWeather reportday-ahead forecast updated+0 sMissing interval: TS-3, 14:00+1 minRe-poll: interval received+5 minWeather report: forecast updated+15 minReport sent: Telegram, e-mail
  • Interval collection

    Meters at the sites send interval data through the data concentrator to the platform server; on the chart the actual values catch up with the forecast as data arrives.

  • A gap is not a zero

    An interval from TS-3 has not arrived: the cell in the completeness indicator stays empty and is flagged as missing, and the status reads “Missing interval”. A gap is never summed as a zero.

  • Re-poll

    The data concentrator polls the meter again, the platform takes the interval and completes the actual curve. The platform itself does not poll devices.

  • Forecast and report

    The day-ahead forecast is updated from the weather report; on schedule a summary goes to Telegram and an e-mail with a link to the full report goes out.

What we do

  • Metering systems and technical metering: meters, data concentrators, RS-485, PLC (power line), GSM and Ethernet collection links
  • Commercial metering: metering point diagrams, preparation for acceptance by the energy supplier
  • Data completeness and validity control; gaps are flagged, not replaced with zeros
  • Exports for energy suppliers and the system operator in agreed formats
  • Feeder and substation balances, search for losses and unmetered connections
  • Integration of metering with process control, supervisory control and ERP
  • Analytics platform: generation and consumption forecast from history and weather reports
  • Self-learning algorithm: comparison of forecast with actual values, retraining on new data
  • Scheduled reports to Telegram and e-mail with a link to the full report
  • Support: scheduled meter replacement and verification, system expansion

How the work goes

  • Survey

    Metering points, meters, collection links, completeness of archives, current export formats.

  • Design

    Collection diagram, specification of meters and data concentrators, data structure, report forms and recipients.

  • Installation and set-up

    Connection of meters, links and data concentrators; checks of polling, archives and data completeness.

  • Analytics launch

    Loading of the metering history, connection of weather reports, set-up of the report schedule and distribution.

  • Support

    Completeness control, system expansion, meter replacement, report changes on request.

Typical tasks

  • Metering data is incomplete

    We find where intervals get lost and set up collection and completeness control.

  • A day-ahead forecast is needed

    We connect the metering history and weather reports and set up the reports.

  • Exports are compiled by hand

    We automate the preparation and sending of exports on a schedule.

  • The balance does not add up

    We reconcile the metering points and find unmetered connections and errors in instrument transformer ratios.

  • Meters from different manufacturers

    We bring them into one system through data concentrators that support several protocols.

  • Management needs a summary every morning

    A summary in Telegram and a scheduled e-mail with a link to the full report.

What the customer receives

  • Data collection diagram

    Metering points, meters, links, data concentrators, addresses and polling parameters.

  • Reports and exports

    Report forms, export formats, schedule and distribution recipients.

  • Check reports

    Checks of polling and archive completeness, acceptance reports, instructions for the metering team.

Result: metering that adds up, automatic exports, forecasts and scheduled reports.

Questions

Do meters have to be replaced to connect to the analytics platform?

No. The platform takes export files from the existing metering system, does not poll devices and does not interfere with metering.

What is the forecast based on?

On the site's metering history and weather reports. The model compares every forecast with the actual values and retrains; the differences are shown in the report. Forecast quality depends on the amount of history and the nature of the load and is assessed on the site's actual data.

Who receives the reports and how?

Recipients on the customer's list: a summary in Telegram, an e-mail with a link to the full report. The schedule and contents of the reports are configurable.

Where is the metering data stored?

On the customer's server or at a dedicated site, as set out in the contract. Access to reports is separated by role.
