Your own consumption curve

If the client gives you their meter data (for example, the Datadis download), upload it: it replaces the typical profile and the calculated self-consumption is the client's real one.

Which files it accepts

CSV or Excel. The engine detects the date, time and consumption columns and shows them to you for review.

Aspect What it accepts
Column format Date + time + consumption (like Datadis); date-time in one column; separate hour
Resolution Hourly, 15-minute, or monthly
Units kWh per interval (usual in Datadis and distribution companies), Wh or kW (average power)

What it does with them

It converts the series into a year of 8,760 hours aligned with the weather year and respects the local time zone. If the file does not cover a full year you are warned. 15-minute data are aggregated into hours.

Good practice

  • Use a full year, as recent as possible.
  • Check the unit: a kWh/Wh mistake multiplies consumption by 1,000.
  • If the client is going to change their habits (new electric vehicle, heat pump, working from home), add it as a special load on top of their real curve.
  • With the real curve, the annual consumption is calculated from the file itself; there is no need to type it.

Common errors

Message What to check
The file is not recognised Separator, encoding, and that there is one date column and one consumption column
Missing data Months or days without readings: complete the file or use another period
Suspiciously high or low consumption The chosen unit (kWh, Wh, kW)
