Creating TOU Map Types

An interval data curve is mapped into time-of-use periods using a TOU map. The TOU map used by the calculation rule for mapping interval data curve values to time of use periods is defined directly on the calculation rule. TOU map types define attributes shared by TOU maps of a given type.

Prerequisites: You must define TOU map templates and time zones before you can create TOU map types. Refer to the Oracle Utilities Application Framework online help for more information about creating time zones.

To maintain existing TOU map types, select Admin > Consumption > TOU Map Type > Search then use standard actions to edit, duplicate, or delete a TOU map type.

To define a new TOU map type, follow these steps:

1. Select Admin > Consumption > TOU Map Type > Add
   Note: If your system supports more than one TOU map type business object, you will be prompted to elect a business object for this TOU map type.
2. Enter a name and a meaningful description for the TOU map type.
3. Select the business object to use when creating TOU maps of this type
4. Select the time zone for the TOU map type.
5. Specify the interval size for TOU map data created from the map type. Interval size is designated as hours:minutes:seconds (HH:MM:SS)
6. Select the default TOU map template for the TOU map type
7. To add or remove override TOU map templates for this TOU type, click the + or - sign in the Override TOU Map Templates section and select the TOU map template.
8. Click Save.

Now you can use the TOU map type when creating TOU maps.
