As the basis for all the EDM functions, the time series management system provides access to a range of functions.
Full user administration with access security spanning several levels and clients through allocation of user rights, including assignment of roles and rights (BelVis UA)
Integrated server for automatic calculation of all time series requiring updating (BelVis CS)
Workflow support in all major processes provided by wizards which guide the user through the applications
Comprehensive standard reports but also individual, freely configurable reports
Public holiday calendar for all European countries
The required readouts are imported from various different sources.
Remote meter reading (e.g. BelVis SODA) and all other standard telemetry systems
Readouts from mobile data acquisition systems (e.g. devices)
Readout lists through interfaces to accounting systems
Import from third party systems
Automatic import of all relevant standard formats, such as EDIFACT (MSCONS, UTILMD, etc.), ESS, meteorological data and more
Import from control systems, such as ControlStar or systems offered by other suppliers
Configurable import facility which can be used to customise import formats
All market participants (time series data and basic data) may be administered.
Customers and their metering points for extraction and feeding points
User groups including their standard load profiles (SLP, ALP, TLP)
Suppliers and retailers
Control areas and balancing groups
Data is prepared automatically.
Plausibility checks and substitute value generation according to all methods defined in MeteringCode2006
Plausibility checks are either carried out automatically in the background or interactively. The results are shown in a table or a graph. This is ideal for detecting and checking the validity of data.
Particular strengths include the method of displaying results and BelVis graphs.
Time series, processing results, analyses - the information can be displayed in graph, table or report form:
as a simple graph for the display, formatting and evaluation of time series data
as graph templates for the generation of frequently used layouts
as standard graphs for the generation of specific layouts. Different graphs can even be displayed at the same time. A main graph may be subdivided into up to 16 sub-graphs.
BelVis graphs also offer a wide range of individual tools which may be combined in any number of ways for interactive formatting and analysis. A large number of functions can be applied under administrative control - even simultaneously - to time series approved for interactive processing.
Simple, interactive time series manipulation with a mouse.
Delete and add time series sections or single points
Vertical or horizontal shifts, flipping, or proportional stretching of time series sections
Data from comparison metering points can help with complex adjustments.
Copy time series sections aligned with the beginning and end of the gap, or with proportional adjustment
Copy time series sections with energy quantity adjustment
Gap filling through linear or non-linear regression
Interpolation methods for gap filling can be used with:
a constant
the last value before the gap
linear interpolation methods
spline interpolation methods.
A wide range of data analysis tools are also available.
Correlation and regression methods
Time series calculators that include other mathematical and statistics methods
