Understand the individual channels by meter configuration, how to navigate to and select meter channel data for display.
Channels Explained
Electricity
Active Energy Import
Displays the electricity kWhs consumed during the selected period.
Reactive Energy Import / Export
Displays the Kilo Volt Amperes reactive hours (kVArh), which is the difference between the electricity supplied and the electricity converted into useful power. If the difference is large, there is a large amount of power being wasted.
Active Energy Import CO2
Displays electricity KgCO2 emitted using the governments conversion factors for greenhouse gases and can be used by UK and international organisations to report on greenhouse gas emissions.
Apparent Power
Displays the actual KVA. It marks the most electricity in KVA used during the selected period.
Active Load
Displays the actual kW. It marks the maximum half hourly electricity used in kWhs during the selected period.
Power Factor
Displays the relationship between the real power (the power that goes through the meter) and the apparent power (the power that is expected to go through the meter). The higher the power factor, the more efficient the metering equipment is.
Active Energy Import Tariff Cost
Displays the electricity cost per kWh information. This is transferred from our billing system if nBS is the data provider. This channel should not be used to report for bill validation purposes as it may not include all the non-commodity charges.
Active Energy Export
Displays the electricity kWhs generated during the selected period.
Active Energy Costs
Displays the electricity cost per kWh information. This is a single unit rate that can be populated within My Energy Coach. This channel should not be used to report for bill validation purposes as it may not include all the non-commodity charges.
Gas
Volume Raw Smart
Displays the gas volume in meters cubed or feet consumed during the selected period.
Energy Raw Smart
Displays the gas in kWhs consumed during the selected period.
Calorific Value
Displays the gas released and is measured in kilojoules (kJ) that were consumed during the selected period.
Energy CO2
Displays gas KgCO2 emitted using the government conversion factors for greenhouse gases which can be used by UK and international organisations to report on greenhouse gas emissions.
Energy Costs
Displays the gas cost per kWh information. This is a single unit rate that can be populated within My Energy Coach. This channel should not be used to report for bill validation purposes as it may not include all the non-commodity charges.
