The project monthly summary table provides measured data and key performance indicators for the DER project.

To view data for another date range, select your desired months and press “Go”.

To download data from the monthly summary table in CSV format, press the download button to the top right of the table.

Automated data filtering can be enabled or disabled via the control. Filtered data automatically checks to determine if the energy streams measured are consistent with each other (e.g. fuel consumption or heat recovery are reported only when a DER is reporting generated power). Disabling this control shows all data available.
