Report Creation and Generation

 

 

Creating a Time of Use Schedule

1.Start Reporter and select the TOU tab.

2.Select the Sample file, then click copy to duplicate it.

All of the pre-configured samples include some basic programing to simplify customization. It is generally best to create a copy of the samples before making changes, and leave the sample in its default state.

NOTE

Be aware that the NEW button creates a completely new report or TOU schedule with no default configuration. Use this option to create completely customized reports.

3.Select your new copy and click Properties to configure it. Examples of possible changes for the TOU schedule are as follows:

Rename the TOU Schedule using the appropriate field.

Modify On Peak and Off Peak charges using the appropriate field.

Add a 'Shoulder Period' which is often called a 'Partial Peak' (see below).

Change the Holidays to an appropriate country (see below).

4.Save the new TOU configuration when configuration is complete.

Adding a Shoulder Period

1.Highlight the Off Peak period by left clicking on it, select New.

2.Rename your new tariff period (i.e. Partial Peak).

3.Modify the time period by left clicking the plus sign, selecting the time period and changing the time within the left window.

4.You will also have to modify the time period within the On Peak and/or Off Peak intervals to ensure that there is no overlap (i.e. if your new 'Partial Peak' period is between 6:00 and 8:00 PM, then you will have to change your 'Off Peak' period to 8:00 PM to End Of Day).

Changing Which Days are Holidays

1.Select the Off Peak period.

2.Left-click 'All Day, Canada Holidays' and select a different country from the window on the left.

3.Add or remove holiday dates as required.

CAUTION

Double check to make certain that there are no gaps and no overlapping date or time ranges. The TOU schedule should not be confused with the Time of Use Module used by billing applications.

Once you have completed configuring the TOU schedule, you are ready to create the actual Energy and Demand report.
