PCI Energy Accounting Solution

The PCI Energy Accounting (EA) System is designed to:Track, calculate and verify meter dataValidate actual energy flows and perform Real-Time check-outs with counterparties.

Manage:Meter data for generators Meter data for loadsDynamic SchedulesScheduled flows in and out of the areaInadvertent EnergyLosses


Meter DataManagement

PCI EA can support multiple meter data sources. PCI supports multiple data channels for meters so primary, backup, and alternate sources can be tracked and compared

Meter attributes can be easily configured in the PCI system. Meter data can be imported or calculated such as area loads


Validate Interchange Schedules

PCI Energy Accounting System can be used to review and checkout schedules with counterparties.

You can use meter data and interchange schedules stored in PCI EA to calculate loads, net scheduled & actual interchanges.


PCI Energy AccountingSupports Custom Calculations

PCI supports custom calculations using Beanshell codeCalculations can be manually initiated, scheduled, or event driven when

specific data is updatedThere is no limit on the number of calculations or with the complexity of

equationsCustom Beanshell code can be stored in PCI GenBase and easily migrated to

future releases


Support FullData Auditing

PCI EA fully supports data auditing. All meter data revisions are tracked by date (when data was created or modified), user who modified data, and user who approved data.


Reporting Capability Provide Standard hourly, daily, monthly

reports Create customized reports Create customized datasets for export to

other systems. Provide a comprehensive API to import

and export data Provide a report wizard to enable quick

ad-hoc data reporting Provide an optional reporting multi-

dimensional data warehouse to store large volume of EA Data and speed up data reporting


Benefits of Deploying PCIEnergy Accounting Solution

Provide a powerful solution to validate meter data and interchange schedules

Use PCI service-oriented architecture Provide configurable reports Support data exchanges with other

systems using CSV, XML, or Web Services

Provide optional reporting data warehouse and support commercial Business-Intelligence Tools (SSRS, Qlikview, Cognos, etc)

Fully deployed in production mode Can be deployed on in-house or PCI

hosted servers

Potential Benefits for Implementing PCI

Energy Accounting = 2-5 M$/year


PCI Energy Accounting Solution

PCI Energy Accounting system can be deployed as an “out-of-the box” solution with specific customizations to meet business needs

For most projects, 90 % of the deployment is out of the box and 10 % requires custom modifications


PCI Reporting Data Warehouse(Optional Module)

PCI provides an optional Reporting Data Warehouse to Store Large Volume of EA Data and speed up data reporting:

– Multi-Dimensional Data Model using Star – Snowflake Schema

– Provide ETL code to move data from relational database to data warehouse

– Optimized for Long-Term Storage

– Support metadata to store Data Quality

– Data Stored in GMT

– Support commercial Business-Intelligence Tools (SSRS, Qlikview, Cognos, etc)


Key Benefits for PCI Energy Accounting System

Provide a highly configurable system to validate meter data and interchange schedules

Make meter validation process much faster, easier, and intuitive

Provide the capability to easily configure and update equations to perform calculations

Can be used to review and modify meter data in various granularities (Hourly, 5-mn)

Support multiple non-time-overlapping meter configurations

Identify hidden problems with some meter data sources

Monitor troublesome meters and determine maintenance requirements

Provide tree-like representation to show calculations interdependencies, which allows for easy verification and corrections

Provide good tools to easily build custom reports
