Q

7) What best describes TOU Map Template SPI

A

A TOU template’s interval size (SPI) controls the values allowed in the Start and End Times
A template can be used to generate TOU data for TOU maps whose SPI divides evenly into the template’s SPI

Q

10) Consider a rate that has different prices depending on:
a. The season of the year (winter, spring, summer, fall)
b. The time of day (peak, off-peak, shoulder)
c. The actual temperature as compared to the historic average (normal, hotter, colder)
How many TOU codes need to be set-up? [Verified on Fundamentals TOU Map]

A

This rate would require 36 TOU codes (4 seasons * 3 time of days * 3 temperature bands)

Q

11) When is consumption aggregated? (Choose 4)
- The system periodically aggregates consumption in batch (using a deferred monitor on the aggregator MCs)
- Users can re-aggregate real-time if they can’t wait or if the original aggregation needs to be redone due to incorrect admin or master data
- Users can create ad hoc aggregations “on the fly” and these will persist in the database
- Aggregation typically lags the current date by a few days to give the system time to upload and VEE the consumption; the amount of lag time is configured by the implementation
- Aggregation is always performed through a given “through time” (e.g., 12am) rather than through the time of aggregation

A

The incorrect choice is “Users can create ad hoc aggregations “on the fly” and these will NOT persist in the database“

Q

14) Which item below best describes the goal for selecting ‘Maximum’ as the comparison method for the High/Low validation rule?
Choices:
- To identify intervals with suspiciously high usage relative to surrounding intervals.
- To identify if a configurable percentage of missing measurements exceeds the specified percentage.
