Heat Map Panel

The Heat Map Panel is available through the Distribution Planning and Operations module when displaying transformer data. The Heat Map panel displays a transformer’s load over time. The data can be viewed in chart (default) and gird formats.

  • Chart view displays data points plotted by hours in a day and days. The y-axis displays hours in a day and the x-axis displays days. Each hour is colored according to the transformer load. The chart dynamically scales the load and compares the hourly value to the average load and color codes the values based on where a value is in the distribution of all values. Colors range from green (low values) to red (high values) with color blending for values in between.

Note: The Heat Map Panel’s boundary conditions can be configured.

    • Fact Name: The name of the data category.
    • Date: The data and hour of the value.
    • Value: The calculated load value, which corresponds to one hour blocks in the chart.
