Setting Up Classic TOU Map Types

The Classic TOU Map Type defines characteristics that are common to classic TOU Maps of the same type. Open Admin > TOU Map Type Classic > Add to define your TOU map types.

Description of Page

Enter a unique TOU Map Type ID and Description for the classic TOU Map Type.

Indicate whether TOU maps of this type are SA Owned or Common by entering the appropriate value in the Sub Type.

The Creation Priority will be used by the TOU map data creation process to determine the order in which the data for classic TOU maps linked to an SA should be derived. The values range from 10, being the highest priority to 90 being the lowest priority.

Enter the TOU Group that defines the collection of TOUs for this map type.

Enter the Minutes Per Interval to define the number of minutes expected in between each row of data collected for classic TOU maps of this type.

If the installation record indicates that seasonal time shift is required, then you must enter the appropriate Seasonal Time Shift record applicable for the interval data. Please take special note of the issue described in the Evenly Sized Intervals section.

The grid contains Algorithms that may be used to create classic TOU map data for TOU maps of this type. You must define the following for each algorithm:

• Specify the System Event with which the algorithm is associated (see the table that follows for a description of all possible events).
• Specify the Sequence number and Algorithm for each system event. You can set the Sequence Number to 10 unless you have a System Event that has multiple Algorithms. In this case, you need to tell the system the Sequence in which they should execute.

We expect that you will need more algorithms than we supply. Your algorithms will be based on any number of factors. Be aware that new algorithms may require programming. See How To Add A New Algorithm for more information.

The following table describes each System Event.
