Uploading Measurement Data

Measurement data for a measuring component can be manually uploaded in comma separated values (CSV) format. This can used to import data from external sources, such as weather systems or other market participants such as system operators in a settlement market.

This feature is accessed via the Load IMDs (CSV) option on the measuring component’s context menu. When this option is selected, the Online IMD CSV Upload screen opens. From this screen users can select a CSV file containing measurement data to upload from a local desktop.

Import files can contain one or more initial measurements For interval data, breaks between initial measurements will be based on a gap greater than one interval size (SPI) between intervals. For scalar measurements, each row will create a separate initial measurement.

Refer to the embedded help on this page for details concerning the format of CSV files used for importing measurement data.

When processed, each initial measurement in the import file results in the creating of an initial measurement for the measuring component.
