Engineering unit report

The Engineering Unit Report, designed for use by Commercial & Industrial implementations, shows engineering unit quantities of demand, consumption, or pulses for selected interval channels.

Use the following procedure to configure a task template:

1. Go to System Operations > Task Management > Task Templates.

2. Use the dropdown menu to select the Task Type and Task Template. (Click Add to create a new task template. For more information, see Adding task templates.)

3. Configure the Task specific parameters. These parameters are defined after step 5 of this procedure.

4. Configure the Common task template parameters. For more information, see Task template parameters.

5. Click Save.

Task specific parameters:

Service Point

The physical location (or locations) on a premise, where the utility company considers the commodity that it supplies (water, gas, energy, and so on), to be delivered to the customer. The service point(s) is not necessarily the same location on the premise where the commodity is metered. Service points are unaffected by meter and account changes. Some utilities and utility software refer to a service point alternatively as a point of delivery.

Channel Number

Select or enter the service point channel number.

Select Time Span

Time Period

Defines the time span of the data to include in the task for exports, reports, and other tasks. Some common time periods include: Today, Yesterday, Month, Month to Date, Week, Week to Date, Year, and Year to Date.

Start Date

End Date

Defines the last day from which to include data in the task. To include the full 24 hours of the last day, the task will be scheduled with an adjusted End Date (that is, adding one day to the End Date entered in the task parameter).

Time Zone

Select Report Options

Data Type

Defines the options available in the Time Period selection. For example, Date Type includes options such as day, week, month, year-to-date, last year, yesterday, and date range.

Report Format

Defines the report format. Use the dropdown box to select a report format, such as detailed or peak.

Interval Size

Defines the interval size (in minutes) to use for the task output. For example, if you are running a report on 15-minute interval data and you set the task template interval size to 60, the task aggregates the 15-minute intervals and displays the results as 60-minute intervals.

Roll

Defines the length of time over which to average the demand, and allows you to smooth demand. Rolling demand may be required for billing purposes. For example, if the export is for billing, and the customer contract specifies billing on a 60 minute rolling demand for data that is metered in 15 minute intervals, set the Rolling Interval Length to 60. When you export the data, there is an interval value every 15 minutes. However, the value is an averaged demand value over 60 minutes that ends at the timestamp for each 15 minute interval. In this case, the averaged intervals are the current interval plus the three previous intervals.

Losses

Apply Losses

Determines if IEE will apply losses when calculating values for the report. Select this check box to enable this parameter.

Show Losses

Determines whether losses display in the report. Select the check box to display the losses.

Output

Send Data To

Defines where to send the report. You can output the report as a file on the computer or network, to a disk, or send the report directly to a printer.

Export File Type

Determines the output format for the export file. Use the dropdown list to select the output format for the report if you are sending this export to disk.

Export Directory

Defines the path where to write the export files. Where applicable, click Search to navigate to the appropriate directory.

Export File Name

Defines the export file name. You can enter a unique file name or accept the default. This parameter supports the standard IEE macros.
