Configuring Web Applications Guide
Use Alarm Configuration to set up software based alarms in PME. For software based alarms, the
alarm conditions are defined and monitored in the software instead of on the device. PME provides
Alarm Templates to simplify the configuration of software based alarms. Software based alarms
can be defined for real-time data or for logged data.
Real-time Alarms
These Alarms are based on real-time data coming from monitoring devices. Reliable communication
links to the devices are required for these Alarms to function correctly. Use real-time Alarms for
alarming on power system operational parameters such as currents and voltages.
PME provides two types of logged data Alarms, Fixed Setpoint Alarms and Smart Setpoint Alarms:

l Configuring many Alarm Rules with short update intervals can affect overall system per-
formance.
l Alarm state is not evaluated if a device is disabled in Management Console. For example, a
communication loss is not triggered ON or OFF for a disabled device. Activities like main-
tenance on a meter can be done without the need to change the Alarm Rule.
l Communication Loss Alarms are only applied to physical devices. Any logical devices or down-
stream devices are removed from the Alarm Rule.
l The Alarm Rule name must be unique in the system. That means you cannot have two Alarm
Rules defined with the same name.
l The Alarm Name must be unique for a source. That means you cannot enable two Alarms with
the same Alarm Name for the same source.

the Details tab in the Edit Alarm Rule window for an existing Alarm Rule. This opens Setpoint
Calculator.
2. In Setpoint Calculator, enter a baseline value for the measurement you want to monitor in the
Baseline entry field.
For example, for an Over Voltage alarm, assume you enter a baseline value of 480.
3. Enter a percentage value in the On Setpoint entry field to calculate when the alarm is set ON.
Using the voltage baseline of 480, if you enter a 105 as the percentage value for On
Setpoint, the calculated value is 504, which displays below the entry field.
Initially, the On Setpoint and Off Setpoint entry fields are linked. That is, the value you enter
in On Setpoint is automatically duplicated in the Off Setpoint entry field.
4. To set a different value for Off Setpoint , click the link button to disable the linking of the
entry fields, and then enter a percentage value in the Off Setpoint entry field.
The off setpoint value is calculated and displays below the entry field. For example, using the
voltage baseline of 480, if you enter 95 as the percentage value for Off Setpoint, the
calculated value is 456, which displays below the entry field.
5. Click Apply to add your setpoint values to the respective Active Condition and Inactive
Condition fields, or click Cancel to discard your entries and to close the Setpoint Calculator.

Schedules
Use Schedules to enable or disable Alarm Rules based on the time of day and the day of the week.
For example, you can set up an Over Demand Alarm with certain threshold conditions for
weekdays, and another Over Demand Alarm with different threshold conditions for weekends.
The following rules apply to Schedules:
l Schedules are applied in the timezone of each source. If an Alarm Rule has sources from dif-
ferent timezones, then it is possible for a Schedule to be active for some sources, and inactive
for other sources at the same time.
l If an Alarm is in the Active State when a Schedule transitions to inactive, then the Alarm is deac-
tivated.
l Real-time measurement Alarms are only evaluated when the schedule is active.
l Historical measurement Alarms are only evaluated against data that was logged when the
Schedule was active.
NOTE: A historical data log timestamp marks the end of the logging interval. For example, a
data log with a 15 minute logging interval and timestamp of 17:00 represents data for the time
interval of 16:45 - 17:00.

Hierarchy Manager
Depending on the number of devices you are currently monitoring, organizing the data coming from
those devices can be a difficult task. Hierarchy Manager allows you to organize the devices in
EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert into recognizable views by defining their relationships as
parts of a system model. Once the model has been created, energy data associated with the
hierarchy can be grouped, aggregated, and used by other components of Power Monitoring Expert.
The Hierarchy Manager views are intended to represent the real world electrical, physical, and
business characteristics of your organization. The items contained in a view, and how those items
relate to each other are specified using a template approach. There are several example templates
included in the product to help you create the views applicable to your organization. One of these
templates is configured when Power Monitoring Expert is first installed.
Open the Hierarchy Manager application from the Configuration Tools section on the Settings page
in the Web Applications banner. You can also open Hierarchy Manager from the Tools menu in the
Management Console.
The following topics provide specific information regarding the features and use of the Hierarchy
Manager application:
l Hierarchy templates
Nodes
Node properties
l Creating a hierarchy
l Dynamic hierarchy
l Meter apportionment
l Virtual meter
After you have configured the views of the hierarchy structure, you can use them in different areas
of Power Monitoring Expert.
NOTE: Before using Hierarchy Manager, ensure that devices, logical devices, or managed circuits
have been added to Power Monitoring Expert through the Management Console component.
Hierarchy templates
When the Hierarchy Manager application opens, everything displayed in the application is based on
the hierarchy template defined in the system. This template defines the parameters of the model. If
you were to describe the physical layout of a building for example, you could describe the name of
Page 64 7EN02-0409-00
Web Applications Guide Configuring
the building, each floor of the building, and the rooms or areas that each floor contains. The
hierarchy template for a building's physical layout does the same thing, using Nodes to represent
the different aspects of the model.
Note that a Virtual Meter Node is included in the hierarchy template. You can define virtual meters
without associating them with a hierarchy, or you can include virtual meters in a hierarchy the same
way that you include devices. You can select virtual meters for many of the reports in the Reports
application.
Each Node contains instances of that particular Node type, which in turn are defined by a set of
properties. These properties not only define the different parts of the model, they also define the
relationships that exist between the different Nodes. This is useful when aggregating the device
data used in other parts of Power Monitoring Expert.
Once the model has been created, the devices that are collecting data can be associated with the
different levels of the hierarchy that are defined in the template.
Nodes
A Node can be described as the building block of a hierarchy. Nodes are used to model a customer
system and can represent:
l Electrical equipment
l Logical concepts
l Physical locations
Nodes are displayed in Hierarchy Manager as a set of tabs. Each tab is labeled with the name of the
part of the model it represents. Each Node displays a number of Node instances in a grid format. In
Hierarchy Manager, a Node can be described as the type of object required to model a system,
while Node instances can be thought of as the reference to the real-world objects in that system.
For example, if 'Car' is used as an example of a Node, then 'my Corvette' could describe an
instance of the Car Node.
A hierarchy that represents the physical layout of a company's industrial site might have a Site
Node, a Building Node, and an Areas Node. Each of those Nodes can contain instances of that
Node type. Under the Building Node for example, you could list the different buildings located in a
particular site. The Properties of each of these Nodes are specified by the user.
Each Node instance is represented in the system as a set of properties that define the
characteristics of that instance. These properties can be further broken down into Attributes and
References.
Node properties
Attributes and References can be used to describe the properties of a Node, and their relationships
to other Nodes. These properties provide the context that helps to describe the different parts of the
7EN02-0409-00 Page 65
Configuring Web Applications Guide
model. For example, a Node called Floors might contain attributes such as floor number, and
references such as the association between the Floors Node and the Building Node, or the
association between Floors and Areas.
Attributes
The Attributes of a Node describe the properties of that Node, such as its name and characteristics.
These Attributes could include the breaker rating of an electrical panel or contact information of a
tenant. For example, a Node called Buildings that is part of a physical layout hierarchy could have
an Attribute such as the building name.
Attributes are configurable by entering information into an Attribute field. To add Attribute content to
a new Node instance, select a tab and click Add. To edit existing Attribute content, double-click a
Node instance, or highlight it and click Edit. When the Properties dialog opens, select an attribute
field by clicking in the applicable field and entering the necessary information. Click OK when you
finish specifying all of the necessary attributes for the Node.
References
References describe how a Node in a hierarchy is associated with other Nodes. For example, in a
hierarchy that describes the physical layout of a company's building, a Node called Floor could have
a reference that describes its association with a Node called Areas. These references indicate
which offices are part of each floor. In this example, since a Floor can contain many offices, it is
considered a one-to-many association. Since an office can only be associated with a single floor, it
is considered a one-to-one association. By making these connections between the Nodes, the
hierarchy structure of the model begins to take shape.
Reference fields require clicking Add, Edit, or Delete. To add reference content to a Node instance,
click Add for the reference, then select the appropriate entry from the list that appears. You can also
enter dynamic hierarchy time ranges in this section.
To edit existing reference content, double-click the entry in the grid, or highlight it and click Edit, and
then make the necessary changes. In most cases, this change would involve either the start or end
dates of the particular reference.
To delete existing reference content, select an entry from the applicable reference type and click
Delete.
NOTE: The Delete button should not be used to end an association with a particular Node
instance. In situtations where a relationship between two Node instances ends after a certain
date, the ideal solution is to edit the references and change the To field to a specific end date that
defines the time range for the relationship. See Creating a hierarchy for more information.
Page 66 7EN02-0409-00
Web Applications Guide Configuring
Hierarchy Manager has a series of tabs across the top of the page. These tabs are the
representation of the Nodes. Clicking on any of these tabs displays the instances of the Node types
in a grid format.
The process involved with creating an instance of a Node type is the same for most hierarchy
templates. To create a new instance, select the applicable tab and click Add. The Properties
window opens, containing fields that represent the properties for that particular Node instance. Any
required fields are identified with a Required message. Click in the attribute fields and enter the
necessary information. Reference fields are selected from a grid, and can also have a time
dimension associated with them (see Dynamic hierarchy for additional information). Click Add to
open the Select dialog and select the applicable item from the grid. If there are no items to choose
from, you might need to create a new instance for that Node type.
To edit an instance of a Node type, click the applicable tab, double-click an instance in the grid, or
select it and click Edit. Make the changes to the applicable fields in the Properties dialog and click
OK.
To delete an existing instance of a Node type, select the applicable tab, select an instance on that
tab and click Delete. After you confirm the delete action, the instance disappears from the grid, and
any reference information regarding the deleted instance is removed from all affected Node
instances.
Tree View
Displaying the views of a template is also similar for most template types. You can see the view of
a hierarchy by clicking the Show Views link. The view shows the different levels of the hierarchy,
and the date range for each entry of the hierarchy.
Date Range: Use the To and From fields to select the date range to display the hierarchy.
Available Views: Use this section to switch between different views if there is more than one view
available. The available views are determined by the hierarchy template. Click Update when you
change the date range, the scale, or view.
Scale: Select Days or Months to provide the appropriate scale to the hierarchy view.
Beside each hierarchy level is a bar that indicates when in the date range the Node was part of the
hierarchy. If the bar has a rounded edge, the Node reference has an end date within the date range.
If the bar has a square edge, the Node reference continues beyond the date range.
You can click the pencil (edit) icon to the left of the bars to open and edit the properties for the
related item.
If you do not see a node in the hierarchy view, make sure the date range includes the date that Node
was part of the hierarchy. You can view the date range for a hierarchy entry by hovering the pointer
on it.
Creating a hierarchy
The following example uses the default hierarchy template (with Site, Buildings, and Areas nodes)
to illustrate the basic functionality of Hierarchy Manager.

In this scenario, you are the facility manager for Faber College. The college includes three buildings,
two of which have already been added to Hierarchy Manager. Building Three has just been
completed, and you must add this building information into Hierarchy Manager. This involves
creating a new building and areas entries, and adding devices to the areas, all beginning on a
specific date.
At the same time, renovations to Building Two have just been completed which include the
replacement of several meters. In Hierarchy Manager, you must swap the old devices with the new
by changing the end date for the existing devices to the day they were removed. New devices must
be associated with their correct areas and their start dates must correspond to the date they were
installed.

Add: Selecting Add opens the Properties dialog. Type a name for the virtual meter and click Add in
the Devices area to select devices to attach to it. You can attach a device, a previously created
virtual meter, or an apportioned meter in the same way you attach a device to a hierarchy node.
Time intervals of the attached devices operate in the same manner as time intervals on meters
attached to hierarchy nodes.
Edit: Editing a virtual meter is like editing the relationship between a hierarchy node and a device.
You can add, edit, or delete virtual meters but you need to ensure that your changes respect time
intervals.
For example, if you are replacing a meter, you need to update the End Date for it and you need to
specify an appropriate Start Date for the new meter. Do not delete the original meter as this
removes the meter historically.
Delete: You can delete a virtual meter but you need to take care when doing so. When you delete a
virtual meter, the relationships between all hierarchy nodes and the virtual meter are removed.

Web Applications Guide Configuring
Dynamic hierarchy
Another feature of Hierarchy Manager is the ability to assign devices or Node instances for discrete
units of time. Instead of devices existing in either an assigned or unassigned state independent of
time, a device can be assigned to one Node instance for a specific length of time, then assigned to
another instance for another length of time.
With this time dimension, Hierarchy Manager can be used by organizations that require an ever-
changing representation of their system. If one tenant moves out and another moves in, that change
can be reflected in the hierarchy. Energy and power usage can be tracked for each tenant over time,
and billing information can be collected, aggregated, and displayed in a report.
NOTE: If your hierarchy does not change over time you do not need to set the date ranges for the
various devices or Node instances. In Power Monitoring Expert, these static hierarchies exist from
the date when the system was first commissioned (system start), to the farthest date the system
recognizes (end of time).
Dynamic hierarchies are established when you create or edit the properties of a Node instance that
is associated with a device. For example, if Customer A is set to lease a rack from a data center,
you can assign the racks and circuits to that customer on a specific date. When tenant A's lease
expires, you can remove the assignment of the racks and circuits on the expiration date and
reallocate them to tenant B.
See Creating a hierarchy for details on how to use the dynamic hierarchies function.
Meter apportionment
Meter apportionment allows you to assign a percentage of a device that has been assigned to an
area. For example, if a common area is monitored by a single meter but shared by two tenants, for
billing purposes you might want to allocate only a portion of the meter to each tenant. If tenant 1
uses 60% of the common area and tenant 2 uses 40%, you can attach 60% of a meter's reading to
the tenant 1 area node and the other 40% to the tenant 2 area node.
7EN02-0409-00 Page 77
Configuring Web Applications Guide
Virtual meter
A virtual meter allows you to aggregate measurements from any combination of devices,
apportioned meters, or other virtual meters available in Hierarchy Manager. The newly created
virtual meter can be assigned to a node in Hierarchy Manager just like any other device, and
appears in dialogs that have a Views selection. You can even create an apportioned meter from a
virtual meter.
Examples:
l Assume that there are several feeder meters connected to the main power bus and you want to
calculate the total power usage. You can create a virtual meter that includes each of the feeder
meters. Then you can choose one of the reports supporting virtual meters to generate a report
showing the total power usage for the virtual meter.
l Assume that there is a large area monitored by a single meter (M1). Within that area is a single
room that is monitored by a separate meter (M2). Tenant 1 is using the small room and Tenant 2
is using the remaining area. To calculate Tenant 2's power usage, the readings from M2 must
be subtracted from the readings of M1. This can be accomplished by assigning M1 and an
apportioned meter of M2 with an allocation of -100%, removing M2's readings from Tenant 2's
power usage calculation.
The alternative is to create a virtual meter. For example, create a new virtual meter Tenant_2_
Net_Meter, and assign the two devices, M1 and M2 (-100%), to the virtual meter. The virtual
meter is assigned to Tenant 2's node. If at some time in the future a new meter is added, you
can edit the virtual meter to include the new meter.
l Dashboards
l Reports
l Trends
In the Dashboards application, you can use hierarchies in the gadget data series selector to select
data from a source based on its location in the hierarchy. Selecting a hierarchy View allows you to
group device data at different aggregation points in the hierarchy. For example, it is possible to
create a dashboard that depicts the energy usage of a single floor in a building as a single data
series even though there are multiple meters monitoring different circuits.
You can also use hierarchies in several of the reports available in the Reports application. You can
use the source selector for these reports to select items from the hierarchy to include in the report.
As in the Dashboards application, a hierarchy View groups device data at different aggregation
points, which are then displayed in a report. In addition to the default reports, hierarchies can also be
used in custom reports that have been created for use in different solutions.
You can use hierarchies in the Trends application to select data from a source based on its location
in the hierarchy.

1. Run the Create Model report with an initial set of parameters and analyze the results. Select
No for the Save Model Configuration input parameter.
TIP: Consider choosing a reporting period with normal consumption behavior to create your
model. For example, a good period could be "Last Year".
3. Re-run the Create Model report using sub-models, exception periods, and modified input para-
meters and analyze the results.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are satisfied with the accuracy of the model.
5. Run the Create Model report one more time, select Yes for the Save Model Configuration
and enter a meaningful model name. This saves your model to the database.
6. Run the Use Model report with the model you created. Ensure that the sub-models and excep-
tion periods are correctly defined for the reporting period.
7. (Optional) Setup a subscription to run the Use Model report on a regular basis. Select Yes for
the Insert Date input parameter. This saves the model output data to the database. You can
use this data in the Trends and Dashboards applications.
Defining a sub-model
Sub-models are used to improve the accuracy of the overall model by recognizing time intervals or
operating conditions with different consumption characteristics. For example, using a sub-model
that differentiates between weekdays and weekend days can be more accurate for processes that
are influenced by a workweek pattern, than using a single model for all days. Which sub-model
works best depends on the nature of the facility or process.
Sub-models are defined with the Modeling Configuration tool in the Settings > Configuration
Tools area of the Web Applications. Use one of the pre-defined sub-models, or create your own.
To define a sub-model:
2. Click Insert in the top right corner of the window to switch to insert mode.
3. Enter a Sub-Model Name, select a Minimum Aggregation Interval, and enter a Desired
Label, and Condition in the input boxes at the top of the main display grid.
4. Click Insert to the right of the input boxes to insert the new sub-model definition. The defin-
ition is moved to the bottom of the main display grid, below any pre-existing sub-model defin-
itions.
5. Click Search in the top right corner of the window to switch back to search mode.
6. (Optional) To edit an existing definition, click Edit to the right of the definition in the display
grid, or click any of the fields of the definition in the grid. To update the definition, after editing
it, click Update , to cancel click Cancel . To delete a sub-model definition, click Delete
.
You can either choose to model these exception periods separately, which means they will become
a sub-model, or you can choose to exclude them from the model completely.
Exception periods override sub-model definitions if they cover the same time period. For example,
you could define a holiday, a day your facility was in shutdown, or a day when you performed
system tests, as an exception period. If that day was a weekend day and you are using a sub-model
to differentiate between weekdays and weekend days, then the exception period overrides the sub-
model, which means that special day will be modeled differently than a regular weekend day.
Exception periods are defined with the Modeling Configuration tool in the Settings >
Configuration Tools area of the Web Applications.
To define exception periods:
2. Click Insert in the top right corner of the window to switch to insert mode.
3. Enter an Exception Period Name, select a Source and Measurement, enter a Desired
Label, and Condition in the input boxes at the top of the main display grid.
NOTE: The Desired Label is used to control if the exception period is excluded from the
model, or if it is treated as a sub-model. Enter the text Delete as Desired Label if you want to
exclude that period from the model. Enter any other text, for example a descriptive text such
as Holiday, if you want to sub-model the exception period. An excluded exception period will
be blank in the final model output graphic.
4. Click Insert to the right of the input boxes to insert the new exception period definition. The
definition is moved to the bottom of the main display grid, below any pre-existing exception
period definitions.
5. Click Search in the top right corner of the window to switch back to search mode.
6. (Optional) To edit an existing definition, click Edit to the right of the definition in the display
grid, or click any of the fields of the definition in the grid. To update the definition, after editing
it, click Update , to cancel click Cancel . To delete an exception definition, click Delete
.

Users
A user is an account in Power Monitoring Expert (PME) that provides access to the system. A user
has a username, which must be unique, and a password. You use the username and password to
log into PME.
PME supports 3 different types of users - standard users, Windows users, and Windows groups.
The following table shows the characteristics of each user type:
Each user has an access level, which is set in User Manager. The access level determines which
actions the user is allowed to take in PME.
There are 5 different access levels. The highest level is Supervisor, the lowest level is Observer.
All Windows users that are a member of a Windows group in PME have the same access level as
the one set for the Windows group. For details on the permissions granted by the different access
levels see User access levels and permissions.
Each user is a member of at least one user group. The user group determines which sources and
applications the user can access. By default, users are assigned to the Global user group which has
access to all sources and applications in the system. See user groups for details on how to
configure groups and assign users to groups.
Rules
The following rule applies to users in PME:
l A Windows user that is a member of multiple Windows groups with different access levels in
PME, gets the highest access level of any of the groups.
Example:
Windows user BillG is a member of Windows group A with observer access level in PME.
Windows user BillG is also a member of Windows group B with operator access level in PME.
As a result, BillG has operator access level in PME.
Limitations
The following limitations exist for standard PME users:
l Usernames cannot contain any of the following characters: whitespace character, < > : " / \ | ? *
,;@ #%' ^&()!=+-~.$
l Email addresses are not checked for the correct format. Any leading or trailing whitespace char-
acters are removed.
l First name, last name, and organization must be between 0-50 characters long. Any leading or
trailing whitespace characters are removed.

User Groups
User groups determine which sources and applications users can access in Power Monitoring
Expert (PME). Each user is a member of at least one user group.
PME has two built-in groups, the Global group and the Unassigned group. Members of the Global
group can access all sources and applications in the system. Members of the Unassigned group
can access none of the sources and applications in the system. Members of the Unassigned group
are also not allowed to log into PME Web Applications.
In addition to the built-in groups, you can create any number of custom user groups in PME. Use
User Manager to create a custom group and define which sources and applications its members can
access.
NOTE: User group membership determines which sources and applications are visible to a user.
User groups do not set the user access level for the group members. Access levels are set for
each user individually as part of the user account settings.
The user group feature only applies to the Dashboards, Diagrams, Trends, Alarms, and Reports
applications in PME. For all other applications users have full access to all sources regardless of
their group membership.
Rules
The following rules apply to group membership in PME:
l If a member of the Global group is added to another group, it is automatically removed from the
Global group.
l If a user is removed from the Global group without being added to a custom group, it is auto-
matically added to the Unassigned group.
l If a user is removed from its last custom group, or this group is deleted, the user is auto-
matically added to the Unassigned group.
l If a member of a custom group is added to the Global group, it is automatically removed from all
custom groups.
l If the last custom group is deleted, all of its members are moved to the Global group.
l A user that is a member of multiple groups can access the sources of each group.
l If a member of a custom group is deleted or removed from the group, then this user's public con-
tent, such as dashboards or reports, remains available to the group.
l If a member of a custom group is deleted or removed from the group, then this user's private con-
tent, such as dashboards or reports, is only available to users with Supervisor access.
l If a member of a custom group is removed from the group, then this user has no longer access
to any of its content, such as dashboards or reports, that was created during its group mem-
bership.
Limitations
The following limitations exist for user groups in PME:
l The default settings for which sources and applications can be accessed in the Global and
Unassigned user groups cannot be changed.
l User group names must be between 1-255 characters long. Any leading or trailing whitespace
characters are removed.
l If a user group name contains a ] (left angle bracket), the bracket must be followed by a space
or be at the end of the name.
l If a user group name contains a & (ampersand), the ampersand must not be followed by a #
(hash).

WARNING
INACCURATE DATA RESULTS
• Do not incorrectly configure the software or the devices.
• Do not base your maintenance or service actions solely on messages and information
displayed by the software.
• Do not rely solely on software messages and reports to determine if the system is functioning
correctly or meeting all applicable standards and requirements.
• Consider the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of communications
links.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, equipment
damage, or permanent loss of data.
Overview
The Alarm Viewer is the user interface (UI) for the Alarms application. Use the Alarm Viewer to see
software generated and device based Alarms in Power Monitoring Expert (PME).
The Alarm Viewer UI has two main areas, the View Library and the Alarms Display. To see Alarm
information in the Alarms Display, you select a View in the View Library. The Library has predefined
System Views and you can create additional custom Views. For more information see: Alarm
Viewer UI
TIP: You can open the Alarm Viewer from the ALARMS link in the Web Applications banner.
View Types
There are two types of Views, Status Views and History Views.
Status Views
Use Status Views to see existing Alarm Definitions in the system, their present state, how often
they occurred, their priority, and other relevant information. The following predefined Status Views
are available in PME:
History Views
Use History Views to see a record of Incidents, Alarm Instances, and Events that happened in the
past. The following predefined History Views are available in PME:
Alarms
Alarms provide information on the state and history of alarm conditions that are defined for specific
sources and measurements in the system. Use Alarms to monitor the state of your power system
and to investigate specific details as part of an Incident analysis.
For more information see:
Events
Events are records of activities in the system. Activities are performed by users, the system
software, or the connected devices. Events are logged and displayed as they happen in the system
without any processing or aggregation. PME uses event records to determine alarm types and
states. Use events for low level investigations and detailed root cause analysis.
For more information see:
Alarm Acknowledgment
You can acknowledge Alarms in Status Views and History Views. If you acknowledge Alarms
through an Incident History View, all Alarms that are part of this Incident will be acknowledged.
Whenever you acknowledge an Alarm, from any of these locations, you are acknowledging the
Alarm Definition itself, not a particular instance of it. That means acknowledging an alarm marks it
as Acknowledged and resets its Unacknowledged occurrence counter. See Acknowledging Alarms
for more information.
Time display
See Time display in Web Applications for information on how time is displayed in a system where
the monitoring devices, the PME/Web server, and the Web client (browser) are located in different
time zones.
Terminology
See Alarms Terminology for definitions of the terms used in the Alarms application.
Incidents
Incidents in PME represent real world power events, such as disturbances or faults. An Incident
combines Alarms, Waveforms, and Burst data from many sources in the system into a single
representation of the power event. Instead of having to analyze each data point individually, you can
look at an Incident and see how the different pieces of information are linked together.
PME uses Alarm types and Alarm start times as criteria to determine which Alarms to group into a
specific Incident. The start of an Alarm marks the beginning of an Incident. Any Alarm of a similar
type, that starts within a certain time interval is considered part this same Incident. The grouping
time interval is always based on the most recent Alarm in the Incident, which means that the
counter is restarted every time a new Alarm is added to the Incident. If there is no more Alarm that
falls inside the interval, the Incident is complete. The maximum duration for an Incident is 24 hours
and the maximum number of Alarms in an Incident is 500. A new Incident is started the next time an
Alarm is recorded. See Alarm to Incident mapping for more information.
The Incident grouping time interval is different for different Alarm types. For example, Over Voltage
Alarms have a time interval of 5 minutes. If a new Over Voltage Alarm occurs within 5 minutes, for
any source, it is grouped into the same Incident. To make it easier to analyze Incidents, PME
categorizes them into types. The Incident types are based on the Alarm types.
The following table shows the Incident types and the grouping time intervals for each type:
* These grouping intervals time settings are default settings. The defaults are extended
automatically to include power quality alarms that are outside the interval but close enough that they
could be related to the Incident.

Timeline Analysis
Timeline Analysis is a sequence of event analysis for items that are associated with one or more
Incidents or Alarms. The items are shown on a timeline, in chronological order. Items include
Alarms, Waveforms and Burst data recordings. The tools available for the Timeline Analysis allow
you to add or remove items from the timeline, add notes, zoom in or out, and include Alarms
previously not associated with this Incident. You can save a Timeline Analysis as new View in the
View Library for future reference. See Timeline Analysis UI for more information.
NOTE: Alarms and data measurements during an Incident occur in very short time intervals. To
show the correct sequence of events in the Timeline Analysis, the Analysis item timestamps must
be accurate. Consider using monitoring devices with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) or GPS time
synchronization for accurate time stamping.

Alarms
An Alarm is a defined condition for a particular source in PME. The software or the device monitors
this condition and records when the condition is met and when not. For example, you can define an
Over Voltage Alarm for a certain monitoring device in the system. When the voltage threshold is
exceeded on this device, the Alarm goes active. When the voltage drops below the threshold, the
Alarm goes inactive. The next time the voltage on this device goes above the threshold again, the
same Alarm goes active again. An Alarm is always associated with a single source and a single
measurement.
Some Alarms are based on instantaneous events such as a voltage transient, others are based on a
condition that lasts a certain period of time such as an over voltage condition. For lasting conditions,
the Alarm goes from an inactive state to an active state while the condition lasts and then back to an
inactive state when the condition is over. Instantaneous Alarms are always shown in an inactive
state.
The following diagram shows an Alarm that is based on a lasting condition. The Alarm goes active
at the time T1 and inactive at T2. The time interval between T1 and T2 can be short or long.
The following diagram shows an instantaneous Alarm. For this Alarm, the start time T1 and end time
T2 are identical.
After an Alarm has gone active, it can be acknowledged in the Alarm Viewer. When you
acknowledge an Alarm, the date and time of the acknowledgment is recorded together with an
optional note that you can enter in the acknowledge window.
An Alarm stays unacknowledged until you acknowledge it. After you have acknowledged an Alarm,
it stays acknowledged until the next time it goes active. At that point it is reset to unacknowledged
and is waiting for you to acknowledge it again.
PME counts the number of times an Alarm goes through an inactive to active state transition. The
number of these transitions is displayed as Occurrences in the Alarm Viewer in the Alarm Status
View. There are two counters for each Alarm. One counter for the total number of Occurrences, and
one for Occurrences since the Alarm was last acknowledged.
The time period during which an Alarm is active, starting when it goes active, ending when it goes
inactive, is called an Alarm instance.
Alarm conditions are defined either as software Alarms in the Alarm Configuration tool, or as device
based Alarms in the monitoring devices, using the appropriate device configuration tool.
To make it easier to analyze Alarms, PME categorizes them into types and combines Alarms of
similar types into Incidents, based on the Alarm start times.
The following table shows the different Alarm categories and types in PME:

Events
An Event is a record of an activity or a condition that is logged in PME. Events are generated by
users, the system software, or the connected devices. Examples of Events include resetting a
measurement, logging into PME, making a configuration change in a device, or a setpoint going
active on a device. Some of these Events are logged automatically, for others logging must be
setup manually. Each Event record that is logged has a timestamp and a number of fields that
describe the activity. Each Event record describes one single activity or condition, for example, a
particular setpoint going active in a particular monitoring device.
Events are logged and displayed as they happen in the system without any processing or
aggregation. For example, an Over Voltage setpoint going active and then inactive in a device will
cause 3 Events to be logged, one for the pickup, one for the dropout, and one for the extreme
voltage value measured during the time the setpoint was active.
Here is an example of the Event records for an over voltage setpoint:

Waveforms
Waveforms are graphical representations of voltage and current that show their variations over time.
The waveform displays in PME are based on logged, historical measurements that were recorded
by a monitoring device. The measurements recorded by a device for a waveform capture are called
samples and the speed with which these samples are taken is called sampling rate. The higher the
sampling rate, the more accurately the waveform capture represents the actual voltage or current
waveform. Captures taken by different device types can have different sampling rates, depending
on the capabilities and settings of the device.
Use Waveforms to analyze power quality events by viewing the individual wave shapes, the
magnitudes, the phase angles between voltage and current, and the timing of wave shape
variations. Waveform data is also used to show voltage and current phasors and the individual
harmonic components.

• Do not ignore the main device hazard indicator when all circuit fault locator icons show green
status.
• Determine and correct the cause of the fault if the main device hazard indicator shows a
hazard.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
In some cases, such as when too many equipment items are connected to circuits, the LIM-IG6
detects a capacitance fault that exceeds the total hazard current (THC). For this situation, the room
Status area shows the hazard, as shown next. However, if the optional circuit fault locators are
installed, the circuit indicators do not indicate the capacitive fault, because they show only
resistance faults, as shown next:
If all the circuit fault indicators are green, as above, and the room Status area shows a hazard,
appropriate personnel must take action to determine and correct the cause of the fault.

Overview
Use the Reports application to generate historical data reports. You can view the reports in PME, or
download them in different formats for sharing or storing externally. To generate a report, you can
either run it manually, setup an automatic schedule, or define trigger events such as a system
disturbance.
Reports are based on historical data that is stored in the PME database. A report can simply display
the historical data or it can process data to show patterns and relationships. The Tabular Report is
an example of a simple report that shows data in a table. The Energy Modeling report is an example
of a report that processes different types of input data to produce predictions and comparisons
displayed in chart and diagram formats.
Reports are generated based on report templates. PME provides a wide range of default templates.
You can change the colors and logo used for these templates. To customize the types of inputs or
outputs of the default templates you need to create custom templates. Creating custom templates
requires engineering work outside of PME.
The Reports user interface (UI) has two main areas: the Report Library and the Reports Display. To
see a report in the Reports Display, you select the report in the Report Library.
TIP: You can open Reports from the REPORTS link in the Web Applications banner.

Report templates
The report templates that are included with PME by default cover a wide range of applications. The
templates are grouped into folders based on application. Choose the templates that best meet your
reporting needs. The following table shows the default templates and folders.
NOTE: Some report templates are part of add-on software modules for PME and are enabled
through the module licenses.
Use the following links to find the descriptions of the different report templates:
Subscriptions
Subscribe to a report to have it generated automatically based on a schedule or on a trigger event.
For example, you can subscribe to a report and have it generated daily at a certain time, or monthly
on a certain day and time. A trigger event can be any event in the system, for example a device
setpoint going active, or a breaker tripping.
Time display
See Time display in Web Applications for information on how time is displayed in a system where
the monitoring devices, the PME/Web server, and the Web client (browser) are located in different
time zones.
Terminology
See Reports Terminology for definitions of the terms used in the Reports application.
Generating a report
Generate a report to view power monitoring system information.
To generate a report:
1. In Reports, open the Report Library and navigate to the report or the report template you want
to generate.

Where is my measurement?
If you do not see a measurement that you expect in the data series list, it is probably due to one of
the following:
l The measurement is not logged. By default, only logged measurements are available in the data
series list. To view newly added measurements, clear the checkbox Display only Meas-
urements with historical data.
l The measurement is filtered out of the current list. Select from one of the options in the Show
drop-down list:
All displays all available measurements for the selected type.
l The measurement is not available for the type selected in the Type drop-down list. Select a dif-
ferent type from the Type drop-down list.
l The measurement is a custom measurement for which the metadata is not set up. The
metadata defines the measurement type, as well as how a measurement is presented in the
Type and Show drop-down lists. The standard measurements supplied in the software have
their metadata already defined. However, metadata for an application-specific custom meas-
urement must also be defined in order for the software to know how to use it.

Reports references
This section contains reference information related to configuring Reports.
Use the links below to find the content you are looking for:
First Drop Analysis – Minimum Drop Voltage (V), Maximum Drop Voltage (V) and
Difference (%): The voltage drop minimum, maximum and percentage difference values are shown
in the Drop Analysis table section. To calculate these values, a valid waveform voltage drop must
be found first by sampling the waveform data.
A valid voltage drop is defined as the first waveform section of size n, where the relative minimum
and maximum voltage values have a percentage difference d. In addition, the next sample n+1 must
be greater in value than the minimum voltage, to ensure that the lowest value has been found in the
voltage drop.
The sampling section size n and the percentage difference d are determined by the user-defined
report parameters Waveform Drop Sample Size and Waveform Drop Percentage, respectively.
After the voltage drop has been found, the Minimum Voltage and Maximum Voltage are simply the
min and max values in that drop samples, and the Difference is the percentage of the maximum
voltage over the minimum voltage. For example:
Minimum Drop Voltage = Min(ws1 <= WaveformValues < = wsN)
Maximum Drop Voltage= Max(ws1 <= WaveformValues <= wsN)
ws1 is the first point in the sample and wsN is the last point in the sample
Difference (%) = [(Maximum Drop Voltage – Minimum Drop Voltage) / Maximum Drop Voltage]
Recovery Analysis – Target Recovery Voltage (V), Actual Recovery Voltage (V) and
Recovery Time (ms):
Target Recovery Voltage (V): This value is calculated for the reference waveform only. This is
calculated as follows:
Target Recovery Voltage (V) = [Recovery Voltage * Recovery Value Multiplier]
Where Recovery Voltage = Average(w1 <= WaveformValues < wN)
w1 is the very first point in the waveform and wN is the lowest point in the waveform voltage drop
and Recovery Value Multiplier is a user-defined value in the report pre-requisite page
Actual Recovery Voltage (V): The first point in the reference and comparison waveforms that
occurs after the voltage drop, that is equal or greater than the Target Recovery Voltage value.
Recovery Time (ms): This is the time elapsed from the Minimum Voltage Drop time and the Actual
Recovery Voltage time, expressed in milliseconds.
Additional calculations
Voltage Threshold: This is the red horizontal area that is highlighted in the waveform drop chart. It
represents a nominal voltage value, therefore there are no calculations for the Voltage Threshold.
For example, if the user sets the Voltage Threshold to 50V, then a red line will be drawn at 50v
(based on the Y-axis) and the area below the red line appears shaded in red.

available choices are Off, Left, or Right.
3. Select the content that you want to include in the legend from the available settings.
The default selections are Name and Value. The additional selections are Difference and
Difference (%).
Value is latest data value and the unit of measurement. For example, for voltage
measurements, the default value is numeric_value V such as 415.2 V.
Difference is the change in the measurement from one update to the next. For example, if the
voltage is 415.8 and it changes to 416.1 at the next trend update, the difference appears as
+0.3 in the legend.
Difference (%) is the percentage change in the measurement from one update to the next. For
example, if the voltage changes from 415.8 to 416.1 at the next trend update, the difference
expressed as a percentage appears as +0.072% in the legend.
1. In the Trend Setup dialog, on the Data tab, specify the Data Update Intervals in the From
device and From database dropdown lists.
The default setting is 5 seconds for data updates for trends using the data directly from a
device, and 5 minutes for data updates for trends with data from a database.
2. Specify the Data Points for the x-axis of the trend in the Max per series input field.
The value must be between 100 and 500,000. Increasing the value adds more data points per
series but this can result in a degradation of trend performance.
Examples:
A data interval of 1 second equates to 3600 data points per hour (60 points per minute X 60
minutes per hour). At a setting of 40000 points, approximately 11.1 hours of data is
retained for viewing (40, 000 points / 3600 points per hour = approximately 11.1 hours).
A data interval of 5 seconds equates to 720 data points per hour (12 points per minute X 60
minutes per hour). At a setting of 40000 points, approximately 55.5 hours of data is
retained for viewing (40, 000 points / 720 points per hour = approximately 55.5 hours).
A data interval of 10 seconds equates to 360 data points per hour (6 points per minute X 60
minutes per hour). At a setting of 40000 points, approximately 111.1 hours of data is
retained for viewing (40, 000 points / 360 points per hour = approximately 111.1 hours).

Alarms Terminology
The following is a list of commonly used terms related to Alarms in PME.
Alarm
The term Alarm is commonly used to describe both, an Alarm Definition and an Alarm Instance.
Which one it represents in any particular application must be derived from the context in which it is
used. It is better to use the terms Alarm Definition and Alarm Instance to avoid ambiguity.
Alarm Definition
An Alarm Definition is the specification of defined condition for a particular measurement from a
particular source. When the condition is met, the Alarm goes active. When the condition is no longer
met, the Alarm goes inactive. Example: An Overcurrent Alarm that goes active when the measured
current for a load goes above a defined limit. The Alarm Definition includes the Alarm Name, the
source and measurement, the Alarm limits, and any other conditions that are relevant for the Alarm.
Alarm Instance
An Alarm Instance is a record of an occurrence where a monitored load exceeds the limits set in the
Alarm Definition. An Alarm Instance starts when the Alarm state goes active and ends when it goes
inactive. An Alarm Instance has a start and end date.
Alarm State
The Alarm State shows if the monitored load presently meets the conditions defined in the Alarm
Definition or not. If it meets the conditions, the Alarm State is Active. If it does not meet the
conditions, the Alarm State is Inactive.
Alarm Acknowledgment
An Alarm Acknowledgment is a way to indicate in the software that you have seen the Alarm and
that it is being managed. When you acknowledge an Alarm, the date and time of the
acknowledgment is recorded together with an optional note that you can enter in the acknowledge
window.
An Alarm can be acknowledged after it has gone active. An Alarm stays unacknowledged until you
acknowledge it. After you have acknowledged an Alarm, it stays acknowledged until the next time it
goes active. At that point it is reset to unacknowledged and is waiting for you to acknowledge it
again.
NOTE: You can acknowledge Alarms in Status Views and History Views. If you acknowledge
Alarms through an Incident History View, all Alarms that are part of this Incident will be
acknowledged. Whenever you acknowledge an Alarm, from any of these locations, you are
acknowledging the Alarm Definition itself, not a particular instance of it. That means
acknowledging an alarm marks it as Acknowledged for all Instances and resets the
Unacknowledged occurrence counter.
Incident
An Incident combines Alarms, Waveforms, and Burst data from many sources in the system. The
elements are combined based on the proximity in time when the data was recorded and based on an
analysis of the type of data. The goal is to create a single representation of a real world power event
that shows the impact of this event on the power system as a whole.
Burst Data
Burst data is pre- and post event data that is logged during an Alarm Instance. The recording of the
data is triggered by an Alarm going active. Devices that support Burst data keep a continuous buffer
of data logs in memory, until a Burst data capture is triggered. At that point, the data is recorded and
uploaded to the software. By showing both pre- and post event data, Burst data is a very effective
analysis tool. Burst data can be high speed data, such as half-cycle RMS measurements of
voltages, currents, and other quantities, or it can be 1 second measurements for slowly changing
parameters.
Event
Events are records of activity or conditions in the monitoring system. Events are generated by
devices and the software and are logged and displayed as they happen in the system without any
processing or aggregation. The system uses Event records to determine Alarm types and states.
Status View
A Status View in the Alarms application shows Alarm Definitions in the system, their present state,
how often they occurred, their priority, and other relevant information.
History View
A History View in the Alarms application shows instances of Incidents, Alarms, or Events that have
occurred in the system.

Modeled_Data.<model name>. The following measurements will be recorded for this source:
To save the data into the database, select Yes for Insert Data.
TIP: Setup a subscription to run the model report weekly for the last 7 days and save the output
into the database. This will ensure you have a complete data set for modeled data for use in
Dashboards and Trends.
Select the sub model from the Sub Model drop-down list. The options in this drop-down list depend
on the selected Interval and the sub models that have been defined in Settings > Configuration
Tools > Modeling Configuration.
The Database Driven option is used to define operating conditions instead of time periods for sub-
modeling. For example, you could define the condition of Power Factor < 0.8. That means that one
sub-model is used when the Power Factor is < 0.8 and a different one when it is >= 0.8. This is
similar to sub-modeling based on weekdays versus weekend days, just that the Power Factor value
is used as a condition instead of the day of the week.
When you select Database Driven, additional input boxes are displayed to select the Source,
Measurement, Key, and Value. The Key is the condition, for example for Power Factory < 0.8,
enter <0.8 in the Key input box. The Value box is just a label to identify the condition, so you could
enter Low PF for low Power Factor.
You can add one or more conditions. Click the + icon to add additional conditions.

Smart Mode provides a general measurement name for you to select. The measurement is based
on a subset derived from all of the available measurements in the particular measurement category.
The underlying operation selects an applicable measurement for each device to produce equivalent
results for reporting purposes.
The following image illustrates how measurements in Smart Mode are determined and applied from
the priority list of measurements. The priority list contains measurements that usually provide
equivalent results for the measurement selected in Smart Mode.
For example, for each device included in a hierarchy view or in a virtual meter, the report starts with
the Real Energy measurement in the priority list. If data for that measurement exists, then it is used
in the report. If data does not exist for the Real Energy measurement, then the report goes to the
Real Energy Total measurement in the list. If data exists for that measurement, then it is used. The
report continues to progress through the priority list to select a measurement that pertains to each
device associated with a hierarchy view or a virtual meter.
You can select Detailed to change to the detailed selection mode. This mode allows you to select
from a full list of measurements.
The Measurement Selector provides a full list of measurements when you select the Devices
radio button in the Source Selector.
Click + and - to expand and collapse items in the navigation tree. For reports where you can select

In this example we use the report to model the HVAC related electrical energy consumption of a
building. Our goal is to create a daily model for energy consumption based on outside temperature
and humidity. We use consumption data for the year 2017 to create the model.
For the first run we choose an interval of Week, only to see if there is a strong relationship between
consumption and the independent variables. Later we change this to Day to get a Daily Model.
Results:
TIP: Move your pointer over the chart line to see tooltips with measurement details.
The model accuracy, measured by the R² value, is pretty high, which show that there is a correlation
between the energy consumption and the outside temperature as well as humidity.

Results:
The R² has dropped and the visual correlation is not very high. The charts show that there is a big
difference in consumption between weekdays and weekends. This difference cannot be explained
by outside temperature or humidity alone. For the next run we use sub-models for weekdays and
weekends.
Results:
The R² has much improved. There is a good correlation between outside temperature and humidity
and consumption. There are still a few days with a large negative residual value. Upon closer
inspection we find that most of these days are holidays. For the next run we use exception periods
to account for the holidays.

Results:
We now have a pretty accurate model of our energy consumption based on outside temperature and
humidity.

It is recommended that users have a basic understanding of energy modeling and understand how
to create an Energy Regression Analysis Report. This section discusses in detail the purpose of
each parameter in the report and how to read and interpret meaningful results of an Energy
Regression Analysis Report. After generating the report, conclusions can be drawn from the
generated tables and charts to monitor energy consumption and make cost saving decisions.
Energy Regression Analysis Report results provide a characterization of a building's performance.
You can perform different types of energy analysis with this information, including the following:
l Energy Benchmarking
l Energy Budgeting
l Energy Savings

The Report Parameters Summary table appears at the beginning of the report. Based on what you
select for the Show Report Parameters Summary option on the prerequisite page, you can make
this table appear or be hidden in the report.
This table provides important details, such as data sources, calculation methods, and other
parameters about how the report inputs are configured that can help the user understand report
results.
The Regression Analysis Chart shows the relationship between the driver and model data.
In this chart, the blue dots represent real data points. In this case, the data is aggregated weekly
over the course of one year, therefore, there are 52 data points with each data point representing one
week of the year. The yellow line is the regression line, or performance line, of the building. The
performance (regression) line is the best fit line--a line that indicates the expected energy
consumption. The slope of the performance line is a measure of how much extra fuel, energy, or
other resource is consumed for an increase in the independent variable (such as degree days,
production units, and so forth).
Deviations between building performance lines over time means that something has changed in the
way the facility consumes energy. This may be a result of energy efficiency modifications, or it
could indicate an issue with building systems, equipment, or processes. The performance line
provides a benchmark by which changes in energy consumption can be monitored, and appropriate
actions can be taken if variations are detected.
The point of intersection between the two performance lines is called the breakpoint. For energy
consumption analyzed with respect to average temperature, the breakpoint indicates the
temperature at which heating or cooling of a facility begins. Therefore, having a breakpoint further to
the right is better because this indicates that heating or cooling systems are running for less time,
which results in less energy usage.
The Regression Analysis Main Characteristics Table provides information about the Regression
Analysis Chart.
The Side column shows the left and right sides. The Slope column shows the slope values of the
two best-fitting lines intersect. This intersection point is called the breakpoint. The Y-Intercept
column shows a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects with the y-axis of the
coordinate system. Therefore, these points satisfy x = 0.
The R2 column shows a value that indicates how well the data fits the model. The RMSE column
shows the square root of the mean/average of the square of the error. The X Value and Y Value
columns show the coordinates of the Change point.
Monitoring the slopes and breakpoint values provides useful information about a facility’s energy
consumption. Flatter slope lines are better as they indicate a smaller increase in energy
consumption for every additional unit of the independent X-axis variable.
For more information on interpreting the report results, see Interpreting the report.
The Measured Values Against Expected Values Chart shows the relationship between the model
data and time.
In this chart, the blue line indicates the real energy usage over time and the performance line
indicates the expected energy usage over time based on the regression analysis.
The time axis, or X-axis, has different units depending on the selected aggregation period. For
weekly aggregation, the numbers on the X-axis represent the weeks of the year and for daily
aggregation, they represent the days of the year. The year or years contained within the reporting
period are displayed on the chart directly below the X-axis values.
Exceptions Table
The Exceptions Table below shows information for any data point that falls outside of the exception
range defined by the Deviation Type and Max Authorized Deviation parameters.
If there are no exception points, this table does not appear in the report.
Full Table
The Full Table below shows information for all data points.
This row stores information about the breakpoint from the Regression Analysis Chart.
This report generates with almost any set of data and regardless of other parameter selections.
However, the generated report is only of assistance in monitoring energy consumption if the
parameters are configured correctly and with specific intent.
The following section provides specific examples of how to use the Energy Modeling Report to
monitor certain aspects of a facility’s energy consumption.
Regression analysis of energy or resource consumption with respect to Degree Days can provide
valuable information about a facility’s energy efficiency with respect to outside changes in
temperature. Such information can be used to determine when energy efficiency upgrades are
necessary, and to monitor the effectiveness of such solutions after implementation.
For example, a facility manager could compare the Heating Degree Day energy profile of their
building to another facility in a similar climate. If the other building proves to be much more energy
efficient, an analysis could be performed on the differences in building design that could cause
these results. Perhaps the only significant difference is that the more efficient building recently
upgraded their insulation. The less efficient building could then use this information, along with the
Regression Analysis charts to pitch the case that an insulation upgrade should take place to reduce
natural gas usage at the facility.
If the upgrade is successful, a change appears in the Regression Analysis chart the following year.
The chart above shows a possible Regression analysis for the year before the energy efficiency
modifications. The red line in the chart shows how the performance lines and breakpoint could
change when the upgrades are successful. The slopes of the lines in the second figure are flatter,
indicating less energy usage for every additional degree day. The breakpoint also occurs later,
indicating that heating does not have to begin at as low of a temperature as before, thereby saving
additional resources.
Regression analysis can also be used to detect equipment deterioration or failure. Below are two
Regression Analysis charts showing natural gas consumption with respect to production units.
The red line in the chart has a steeper slope and an earlier X-axis intersection point. This indicates
that more natural gas is being used for every unit of production. If data for these charts is collected
over different periods of time, but with no changes to manufacturing processes or equipment, the
steeper regression line in the second chart could indicate deterioration of equipment.
Plotting energy consumption data against any independent variable, not just time, allows you to
analyze in greater detail the energy efficiency of your buildings or facilities, and to make necessary
upgrades or cost analysis decisions.
Conclusion
Energy modeling is a relatively new practice for monitoring and analyzing energy consumption in
buildings and facilities. It involves using computerized simulations to analyze energy consumption,
and it allows customers to understand their expected energy consumption and use this information
to make system design decisions and perform cost benefit analysis.
The Energy Modeling Report, or XY Regression Report, allows users to create energy profiles for
their buildings or facilities. These benchmark energy models provide valuable information about
energy and resource consumption that can help Facility Managers save resources by identifying
and addressing consumption issues.

Reports Terminology
The following is a list of commonly used terms related to Reports in PME.
Report
A report is a report template that has been saved with some or all of its input parameters set. Every
time you run a report, it queries the database to retrieve the required data. A report does not store the
output data after it was generated. To save a permanent copy of the output, download the report in
one of the supported formats and save it externally.
Report Template
A report template defines the output layout, the types of inputs and the information in the database
that is accessed for that report. The difference between a report and a report template is that a report
has one or more of its input parameters saved and a template does not.
In the Report Library, report templates are shown with an icon that does not have a small circle on
its lower right corner .
Downloaded Report
A downloaded report is a copy of the output of a report. You can download a report in different
formats. Download a report to permanently save a copy of its output.
