Data

Why is data important?

Metering data gives you the power to make timely and informed decisions for you and your customers. Accurate and 24/7 access to energy data paints a valuable picture of energy consumption and allows for improved energy and cost management and reporting.

Our standard service delivers meter data to you and the electricity market the following day. We can also provide more frequent data based on your business’ needs.

Accessing your Data

At Powermetric, we make accessing data as simple as possible.

  • Customer portal: easy access to your visualised energy data and tailored reporting.
  • Daily data forwarding: choose to receive daily data forwarding for timely and simple access.
  • Modbus Connection: allows your Building Management System (BMS) or SCADA system to access real time meter data, via a hard wired Modbus connection directly from the meter. Power quality data may also be access via this method.
  • Pulse Output Connection: allows your Building Management System (BMS) or SCADA system to receive pulse outputs directly from the meter, via hard wired connections.
  • Power Quality Data: access power quality data such as voltage, current, power factor and harmonic distortion on a 5 minute basis, upon request. This type of data is suitable for customers who are investigating systems or equipment failures suspected of being caused by Network Distribution or site issues.
  • Near Real Time Data: access 5 minute meter data at 5 minute intervals. This allows you to make near real time energy management decisions, as well as access power quality data. This type of data may be suitable for customers who run Demand Response programs.
