Aggregation Recommendations

When defining the Aggregation Horizon for aggregation processing, the horizon should ideally be around 7 days or less (barring specific requirements that call for an longer horizon, such as in the case of some final settlement calculations).

For each day in the horizon the system aggregates each day that many times. For example, setting the Aggregation Horizon to 30 means that each day is aggregated 30 times. The benefit of aggregating a day multiple times is that each day the quality of the data could improve if initial measurements arrive late. However there is a cost associated with a large horizon because the system is aggregating a much larger set of measurement data to catch a statistically smaller amount of changes the further into the past a day is.

The Aggregation Horizon is defined on Master Measurement Aggregator Type (D2-MasterMsrmtAggregatorType).
