Supported measurements and devices

The reports in the Energy Analysis Reports Module support the measurements listed in the following table:

Reports Input Measurements Notes
Duration Curve Report Single power measurement (kW, kVA, kvar) Any device capable of providing the measurements.
Energy Modeling Reports Dependent Variable, Independent Variable (*) Any device capable of measuring the variables.
Energy Regression Analysis Report Two measurements (model and driver)
  • Energy or power (model)
  • Environmental or process variable (driver)
 Any device capable of providing the measurements.
Energy Usage Per State Report Multiple energy measurements (electric or non-electric) (**)
Single state measurement 		Any device capable of providing the measurements.
KPI Report Input parameters (application dependent) Any device capable of providing the input parameters.
KPI by TOU Report Input parameters (application dependent) Any device capable of providing the input parameters.
Multi Equipment Operation Report Multiple state measurements (one for each source) Any device capable of providing the state measurements.
Power Usage Per State Report Two measurements (power and state)
  • kW or kVA or kvar (power)
  • Single state measurement
 Any device capable of providing the measurements.
PUE Summary Report Power:
  • Total Data Center Power
  • Total IT Equipment Power

Energy :

  • Total Data Center Energy
  • Total IT Equipment Energy.

(See PUE power and energy measurements below for more information)

PUE Category 1:
ION9000 on MV Substation and main incomer, APC Symmetra MW for all IT UPSs

PUE Category 2: ION9000 on MV Substation and main incomer, PM5320 for all PDUs***
Single Equipment Operation Report Single state measurement Any device capable of providing the state measurement.

* The dependent variable is the measurement you want to model. For example, if you are modeling the energy consumption of a building based on outside temperature, then the energy is the dependent variable.
The independent variable is the driver that influences the measurement you want to model. In the above example, the outside temperature is the independent variable. You can specify one or more independent variables.

** The energy measurements are aggregated into one total energy measurement by the report.

*** If the PDUs have embedded energy metering, with an accuracy of 1% or better, and can provide energy, power, voltage, and current data via an industry standard communications protocol, then no external metering is required to monitor the PDU mains.

PUE power and energy measurements

PUE Category 1
The VIP framework aggregates total kW values from all Main Incomer Meters and then calculates and logs 3 values that can be selected in the report and used in the Vista KPI screens: kWh del, kWh del int, and kW SWD. The VIP framework also aggregates total kW values from all UPS Meters and then calculates and logs 3 values that can be selected in the report and used in the Vista KPI screens: kWh del, kWh del int, and kW SWD.

PUE Category 2
The VIP framework aggregates total kW values from all Main Incomer Meters and then calculates and logs 3 values that can be selected in the report and used in the Vista KPI screens: kWh del, kWh del int, and kW SWD. The VIP framework also aggregates total kW values from all PDU Meters and then calculates and logs 3 values that can be selected in the report and used in the Vista KPI screens: kWh del, kWh del int, and kW SWD.

If multiple types of power and energy measurements exist in the system, then a look-up method is used to determine which one to use. The following tables lists the supported types in order of look-up priority.
