Understanding the Differences Between Power Consumption and Energy Usage Reports
This white paper explores why Power Consumption and Energy Usage reports, though both measure kilowatt-hours, can yield different results. It details how each report is generated, the impact of data resolution, and the scenarios where one may be preferable over the other. The analysis highlights the importance of understanding data collection and processing methods to ensure accurate interpretation and application of these reports.
Key topics include:
- The Energy Usage Report
- The Power Consumption Report
- Reasons for the Differences
Why utilities should care:
Accurate differentiation between report types enables better decision-making in system monitoring, troubleshooting, and energy management. Recognizing the strengths and limitations of each report ensures optimal data use, particularly when precision or time-specific analysis is required.
