Profile Graph
Requirements
Meter Account
Optional: Multiple Tariffs linked to this Meter Account
Access
1. Select Meter Account
2. Go to View->Profile Graph
Usage
Consumption and Demand usage per half hour is graphed in the center. (Demand is only shown if the tariff actually references it.)
Non-instantaneous events like power down, is shown as grey blocks behind the graphs.
Legend is shown on the right.
Hover mouse over a point in the graph to get the exact values measured at that point shown on the left.
Below graph:
Current date selection
Date of cursor (mouse) position
Total (sum of) consumption for selected date range
Maximum demand along with power factor at maximum demand, time of maximum demand
Load factor at both demand and consumption
Above graph:
Zoom in (first select a range by dragging on the graph).
Zoom out: Zooming out of a day, will show a week, out of a week will show a month, etc.
Page Left/Right: Moves the range displayed on the graph one full page left/right.
Pan Left/Right: Moves the range displayed on the graph one tick left/right.
Switch between tariffs linked to this meter account using the tariff dropdown on the top right.
Switch between other meter accounts using the meter account dropdown on the top right (if there are less than 20 meter accounts); or the previous/next links on the top right (if there are more than 20 meter accounts)
Change to a different date range by clicking on the Choose Dates button bottom right.
Each half hour can be colored according to seasons and TOU (specified in the tariff).
Optionally the profile graph can be displayed below the Meter Account from the Edit->Meter Account screen.
Possible Extrapolations
TOU optimizations
When the tariff is set up properly with TOU, you can easily see where you might be using too much power during peak times.
Power Factor
Consumption can be compared against demand. (We use kW and not kWh for ease of comparison). If power factor is bad, consumption and demand will differ a lot. A power factor of 1 means demand and consumption will be equal.
Meter bypass/tamper
The Profile Graph is an excellent tool for finding many problems with metered data.
If viewed over a month period, irregularities like a meter bypass can often easily be detected, even for the untrained eye. A meter bypass will usually contain zeroes in areas where consumption would be expected.
CT blown
A blown CT will mean the data will read on average 2 thirds of the usual readings. The exact point of a blown CT can therefore often be seen where the consumption graph suddenly drops to 2 thirds of the usual shape.
Lights/Aircons forgotten on during night time.
On nights when the consumption does not fall as low as other nights, aircons or lights might have been left on.
Reversed CTs
Not the best place to pick up reverse CTs (Phasor Graphs are better for this); but if they are reversed (and should not be); the graph should show zeroes.
Other Regular Problems:
For example when a shop is closed and the manager switches off the power to the shop at the breaker before the meter, the profile graph will show a regular power down every night.
Shift usage
A calendar can be created for each shift, which in turn can be combined with the Meter Account's Tariff (Under Edit->Meter Account). With this you can create a Profile Graph showing only the usage for each shift and also instantaneously calculate the cost for each shift using the optional Provisional Bill at the bottom.

Phasor Graph
Requirements
3 Phase meter of which PNPSCADA can read the phasors
Access
Select desired meter in Overview
View->Phasor Graph
Usage
The first screen shows a table of phasors that have been read
Columns:
Date
Voltage and Currents over all 3 phases
Voltage and Current Angles over all 3 phases
kW (P); kvar (Q) and kVA (S)
power factor (pf)
If there are more than one page of phasors, you can navigate to the other pages by clicking on next and previous
Click on a date to open the phasor graph for a specific date
The phasor graph shows:
3 thin lines in different color depicting voltage:
1. Red
2. Yellow (White)
3. Blue
3 thick lines in different color depicting current, corresponding to the thin voltage lines
The length of the thick lines indicate the relative load balance
To the right of the graph is a table of actual values with columns for:
All 3 voltages and currents
All 3 volt and current angles
kW (P); kvar (Q) and kVA (S)
Power Factor (pf)
Possible Extrapolations
Example 1: This is what a typical 3 phase connection should look like.
Example 2:
Power Factor Correction Equipment have engaged too many capacitor banks
Look out for phasor graphs where the currents are small (less than 10A). If the current is small you wont necessarily get a good phasor graph. In this case this is not the problem.
If Red CT was moved to White Voltage,
White CT to Blue Voltage,
Blue CT to Red Voltage
and all 3 CT's reversed,
you'll get a close to perfect Phasor Graph, which might be the problem in this case.
Example 3: Red CT should be reversed.
Example 4: An example of a 3 wire connection that is wrong
Example 5:
The phase rotation is the wrong way round, i.e. White and Blue Voltage and CT should be swopped
Phase load balancing should be done at this site
Example 6: An example of a typical 3 wire connection
Example 7: Not sure what is going on here, but everything seems to be wrong
Example 8: An example of a typical connection to properly working Power Factor Correction equipment with correction derived from the Blue phase, overcompensating on White and undercompensating on Red phase
Example 9: An example of overcompensating Power Factor Correction Equipment

Year To Date Monthly Consumption
Requirements
Meter Account linked to a meter with data for at least 2 years
Access
Select desired Meter Account in Overview
Go to View->Profile Graph
Select desired 2 year date range for report in Profile Graph
Go to Reports->Year To Date Monthly Consumption
Usage
This report is typically run on an overall Meter Account for your whole group of stores. It compares your energy use in this year to your energy use in the previous financial year. The purpose of this report is to give you a high level overall view around the question, whether you are saving energy or not.
This year is shown with blue bars
Previous year is shown with red lines
Projected usage for the rest of the year is also shown with yellow lines with circles
Non-comparable consumption is shown with yellow lines with squares
Because some stores are new within the last 2 years, some of their data could be non-comparable to the previous financial year.
One Meter in the Meter Account's profile is non-comparable if it does not have a full month's consumption for the same month previous year.
Possible Extrapolations
This report shows if (and how much) your energy initiatives works.
If a Meter Account is linked to all the Meters in a shopping center, you can see how much consumption is due to new shops by looking at the Non-Comparable values.

Account Quota
Requirements
Meter Account linked to a meter with data for more than a year
Access
Select desired Meter Account in Overview
Go to View->Profile Graph
Select desired date range for report in Profile Graph, preferably a start date that is already past, and an end date that is still to come, as the graph is used to make predictions. The start of the month to the end of the month is a good range.
Go to Reports->Account Quota
Usage
The current date range's incremental consumption is plotted against a comparator that is linearly interpolated.
At the bottom left, the comparator can be changed and defaults to last year's consumption. Click Submit Query before changes will be applied.
At the bottom right a margin can also be set. If 20% less consumption should be used, enter -20%, and if 20% more consumption is expected, enter 20% and click Submit Query.
Possible Extrapolations
If current usage is above the comparator's line (i.e. in the red); projected usage for the end of the period is more than the comparator. If the current usage is below the comparator's line (i.e. in the green); projected usage at the end of the period is less than the comparator.

Select desired date range for report in Profile Graph
Go to Reports->Tariff Comparison
Usage
Two provisional bills are run for the selected date range and compared below each other.
The totals for each bill is shown at the bottom as well as difference and the percentage difference.
Possible Extrapolations
Note that if a bill run on Tariff A is less than Tariff B for a specific date range, it does not mean that the bill would be smaller for all date ranges. This is mostly because of Maximum Demand that can make bills vary a lot.
It is advised that bills are compared for each billing period over a year before conclusions about which tariff is better be made.

Select kg of Carbon per kWh as specified by the country or alternatively specify your own constant.
Enter any other factors (max 4) that need to be considered. e.g. Your company might have 2 more delivery vehicles this year. You will need to specify for each of these:
A name. e.g. Delivery Vehicle
Units Description e.g. km
Amount used fore each period e.g. 80km and 100km
The carbon multiplier e.g. 0.17 kg of Carbon per kilometer traveled
Choose an interval or factor to compare against. e.g. if you specify per kilometers, the result will be how many kWh per kilometer you are using more/less since the previous year.
Second Screen
For each of the date ranges selected, shows usage and difference of
Consumption
Demand
Financial
Any other factors you have added
Carbon impact
Possible Extrapolations
From this you can calculate if and how much your carbon saving initiatives have made a difference. A positive value in your Carbon Difference means you are using less carbon than the previous period and a negative value means you are using more carbon.
You might have also replaced your fleet of 12 cars with two trucks, which uses more carbon than a car, but there are less of, which might calculate to an overall smaller Carbon usage.
See if your kWh and cost is now less.

Revision of the BMSRTU
Time Spent in Bypass is a summation of all the time the BMSRTU spent in bypass mode for the selected period.
Bypass Event Count is the amount of times the BMSRTU was bypassed.
Possible Extrapolations
Sometimes a security guard will bypass the BMSRTU every 4 hours of the night because they don't like working in the dark. This report can aid in dealing with the biggest offenders. In this case there will be many Bypass Counts as well as a lot of time spent in bypass.
Sometimes the BMSRTU is bypassed 5 minutes before the shop is programmed to open. This means that by changing the schedule on the BMSRTU 5 minutes earlier, the shop's lights comes on as the workers open up. In this case there will by many Bypass Counts, with little time spent in bypass.
