1. DATA SHEET: Settlements
Settlements
eMeter applications are the fastest path to turn your data into
actionable information that can be leveraged across your utility.
eMeter Settlements aggregates interval meter data and reports net balances of energy produced, exchanged,
and consumed to enable financial settlement in the wholesale energy market. With eMeter Settlements you can:
Enable financial settlements of market transactions. The Settlements application allows you to give
wholesale market participants access to interval data and aggregated usage data, giving all parties the clearest
picture of usage to drive quick and easy financial settlements. You can review data quality in a drillable, user-
friendly report. The Settlements application delivers adaptable XML messages to market participants.
Compare energy production and consumption. eMeter Settlements uses actual interval data instead of profiles,
so you have the most accurate report on the net balance of consumers’ drawing and producers’ supplying the grid.
Provide aggregates for each market entity. You can manage data aggregation by Grid Area, market role, or
other market characteristics, allowing you to provide participants, such as energy suppliers, grid operators, and
balance providers with just the information they need to manage their business.
Drives efficient wholesale markets. With your wealth of real-time usage data from EnergyIP, the Settlements
application shares business critical data and crucial aggregates that drive the competitive retail market. Data
grid loss can be analyzed and energy distribution can be fine tuned for the rapidly changing grid environment.
Supports Data Versioning. The Settlements application supports locking data, exception processing, and
version auditing to finalize market transactions and ensure contract fulfillment.
Extend dynamic pricing and demand response to all market participants. As consumer behavior
modifies, interval data on individual consumers allows retailers to determine the price points where the demand
curve changes. Settlements processes and aggregates this data so that retailers can influence demand with price.
