In your site syntheses, the contracted power optimization widget allows you to visualize the savings related to optimizing your electricity delivery costs (TURPE).
Feel free to refer to this article to understand the workings of our calculation.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The proposed optimizations are based on the power calls of an electrical meter over the past twelve rolling months.
Widget Configuration
The widget does not require any specific configuration from you and will automatically retrieve data from your main electricity meters and their associated sensors. Two types of results are possible: details of potential savings in euros (Figure 1) or details of the meter's load curve (Figure 2).
Prerequisites
Calculations are performed only if your meter and sensor are correctly configured and if the algorithm has enough data. The parameters mentioned in this article can be modified via the schematic (by selecting the relevant meter or sensor) or through the asset file (meter & sensor tabs).
Note: No optimization calculation is performed for C5 meters.
Meter Configuration
Required Fields:
- Fluid (electricity)
- Voltage level
- Tariff version (FTA)
- Number of time-based posts
- Contracted power values for each time-based post
- Time slots for each time-based post
Ensure consistency between the fields:
| Voltage Level | BT inf | BT sup | HTA 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tariff Segment | C5 | C1, C2, C3, or C4 | C1, C2, C3, or C4 |
| Number of Time-Based Posts | 1 to 4 | 4 | 5 |
Sensor Configuration
The sensor must be linked to your electric meter in the schematic.
- Sensor Type: Real
- Commissioning Date: At least 12 months before today
- Time Interval (depends on meter's voltage level): 30 minutes (BT inf); 10 minutes (BT sup & HTA 1)
- Sensor Unit: kW
- Index Difference: No
- Aggregation: Average
Note: These configurations can be made from the asset file for both sensors and meters.
Data Set
For the calculation to be performed, a minimum of 12 complete and consecutive months of data is required on the sensor. A complete month contains at least 25 full days of data.
- For a meter with a "BT inf" voltage level, data is received every 30 minutes, and a month is complete with at least 1,200 values available on the sensor (2 data points per hour x 24 hours x 25 days).
- For a meter with a "BT sup" or "HTA 1" voltage level, a month is complete with at least 3,600 recorded values (data points per hour x 24 hours x 25 days).
