About Settlement Item Quantities

Settlement item quantities are quantities that are stored at the settlement item level. These quantities are calculated at irregular frequencies (such as annually or quarterly) and thus do not make sense as a measured quantity on a device and measuring component. For example, in some deregulated markets the Peak Load Contribution could be stored here and effective dated over time to represent the changing contribution of a given settlement item to the market wide coincidence peaks.

Settlement item quantities are defined by the following:

• Settlement Item: The settlement item for which the quantities were calculated
• Settlement Item Quantity Type: The Settlement Item Quantity Type used for the record
• Start Date / End Date: The date range for the calculated quantity
• Settlement Item Quantities: Calculated quantities based on Settlement Item Quantity Identifiers configured on the Settlement Item Quantity Type (see Understanding Settlement Item Quantity Types for more information)
