Profile methodology

Profile methodology overview

A profile methodology defines an algorithm that is used to calculate values for missing interval data when it is required for a Settlement. Every Datastream has a profile type associated with it. Interval Period over which interval energy data is recorded by the metering installation that corresponds to a TI or submultiples of a TI. meters have a profile type that is associated with its own historic data. Non-interval meters have either a profile type of NSLP Net System Load Profile. A profile applied to convert all second-tier basic meter readings into energy consumption for each 30-minute trading interval for settlement purposes. or another profile.

Profile methodology defines what data is extracted from the data source and applied to consumption data. It defines the season and day types used for a profile.

Field	Description
Methodology Name	The name of the methodology; used throughout MSATS to represent this methodology.
Season Type	A season model divides the year into groups of time. For example, a “4 season” season type has 4 groups of days, Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. When the profiling engine processes a profile, it looks for the first day of “full data” with the same season type. In MDM, a single season is used.
Day Type	A day type model divides a week into groups of time. For example, a “2-day” day type has 2 groups of days, weekends and weekdays. When the profiling engine does a look up of a profile for a particular day’s data it looks for the first full day of full data with the same day type. In MDM, a 7-day model is used.
Date Exceptions	Date Exceptions are a set of days when the normal day types do not apply. For example, For a holiday that falls on a weekday, the weekend value is used instead of the weekday profile.
Updated On	The date and time the profile methodology was updated.
Updated By	The Participant User ID of the operator who updated the record.
