Utility Tariffs Operational Data Import Operational Data Import

As an Admin or Deployer User, you can edit any site within any account in your scope. From the Site Dashboard, you can go click on Settings from the navigation menu to the left.

In the Settings, you can view and edit General settings, Utility Tariffs, and Ops Data Import.

You can set the site's name, address, facility type, subcategory, area (used in the Benchmarking application), time zone, schedule, carbon factor, and enabling the Generation category for devices.

Note: Time Zone shall be set according to standard time (even during daylight savings). The system adjusts to DST but it is not reflected in the dropdown menu.

Schedule & Carbon Factor are settings that apply to Optimize package features only. Carbon Factor applies to the Carbon Emissions view in The New Timeview and the Carbon Footprint widget on the Dashboards.

You should select a schedule for your site, to define its operating/working hours. Site Schedule working and off hours are effective for off-hours reports, and for Triggers that consider a site's working and off-hours.

You can then pick a tariff that defines the costs per kWh of generation in your site.

After defining the utility tariffs for the account (from the account settings), you can select the tariff plans for the different sites of your account. You can do that on the Utility Tariffs tab on the Site Settings.

For each utility type assign one of the tariff plans set on the account level. Generation tariff is only enabled if generation is enabled for the site (in the Site Properties tab) and can either be the same as the consumption tariff or can be set as a different tariff.

Operational Data Import

The Ops. Data Import capability lets you import any operational-related data to the platform.

The supported import format is a CSV file.

The CSV Format

timestamp	relation_type	relation_id	value	units	unit_desc
date + time	site / device_group / device	site/device group/device ID	numeric value	display unit	part name / unit description
2022-06-01 21:59:00	device_group	12345	16	Ton	screws

timestamp - the date and time of which the data was measured, in one of the following formats:
- %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S (ISO 8601 format)
  Example: 2022-04-17 11:25:12
- %m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S
  Example: 04/17/2022 11:25:12
- %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S
  Example: 17 Apr 2022 11:25:12
- %Y %b %d %H:%M:%S
  Example: 2022 Apr 17 11:25:12
- %d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S
  Example: 17/Apr/2022:11:25:12
relation_type - the entity in the software to which the data in this specific row is related.
You can relate data to either a Site, a specific Device, or a Device Group.
The valid entries in this type of cell are:
- site
- device
- device_group
relation_id - the ID of the site/device/device_group.
You can find your IDs in the "View site, devices and device groups IDs" helper menu (shown in the first image)
value - any numeric value that describes the value of what was measured
units - the units in which this value is being measured.
Example: Kg, Ton, Pieces, Boxes, Liters, etc.
Since it's a free text input - you can add any unit
The unit length is limited to 30 characters long.
unit_desc - a specific description for the selected unit
Example: nails, screws, dishes, water
The unit description length is limited to 50 characters long.

Import CSV Manually

You can import the CSV to the software importing the CSV manually.

On the Panoramic Power platform, go to the Site Settings of the site you want the data to be related to.

Under the site settings, go to Ops. Data Import tab

In that tab, click 'Import Manually'

Drop your CSV file in the designated place and click 'Submit'.

The file will go through a format validation process.

An error indication will be shown in case of a format validation issue.

How do I know if my data was stored successfully?

After a successful data import, the date of the last import will be updated.

You can see the last import date on the Ops. Data Import section in the site settings.

In what cases could this feature be helpful?

You can use the Operational Data Import feature for basically any type of external data you'd like to bring into the platform.

Some examples are:

- Production data

- Budget

- Operational data

How can I access the data?

Currently, the data is stored in the platform's database and can be used to generate advanced customized reports.

In the near future, we are planning to extend this capability and display Ops. data in the platform itself.
