Energy Billing Module configuration

NOTE: This module requires a separate license. See Licensing for more information.

The Energy Billing Module is a fully functional energy-based billing reporting system. It also provides load and consumption monitoring and reporting at the branch circuit level, which is typically used in data center applications.

The following reports are part of this module:

Billing Report
Billing Summary Report
Billing Verification Report
Energy by IT Customer Report
Multiple Billing Report
Multiple Billing Export Report

To use the reports in this module, the module must be configured and the measurement data must be available as historical data logs in the database.

For information on how to configure this module, download the Billing Module Toolkit from the Exchange Community. See Resources for link information. The Billing Module Toolkit is a collection of tutorials and examples that show you how to configure and use this module.

Energy by IT Customer Report configuration

The report requires branch circuit level energy and current measurement data. The report supports different types of energy and current measurements, see Supported measurements and devices for more information.

To use this report, the measurement data must be available as historical data logs in the database, and a hierarchy must be configured using the CustomerRackCircuitTemplate.xml template.

NOTE: Remember to update the Managed Circuits in the Management Console after each device configuration change.

Hierarchy template

You can find the CustomerCircuitTemplate.xml hierarchy template at:
...\Power Monitoring Expert\applications\HierarchyManager\SampleTemplates\DataCenter\.

For information on how to install a hierarchy template and make bulk configuration changes, see Hierarchy Configuration Utility.

For information on how to maintain a hierarchy configuration and make individual configuration changes, see Hierarchy Manager.
