Measurement Data

On the Measurement Data page you can view your readings as a table and download them as a CSV file. You can also see how reliable your data is.

Measurement data table

The table shows your readings with Meter, Timestamp, Measurement (OBIS code), Value (kWh), and Data Quality. The most recent values appear first by default. The filters above let you narrow down by location, meter, measurement, and data quality.

CSV and XLSX export

Open the Export menu above the measurement data table and choose Standard to download the measurement data for the selected period. The file follows your table filters, so filter by Measurement to export only grid consumption, for example. A dialog then lets you set the file format (CSV or XLSX), the timestamp format and timezone, the sort order and, for CSV, the separators. Its defaults give the CSV file this export has always produced: timestamps in ISO 8601 (UTC), oldest value first. If you take part in an energy community, With EC column is available as well. Only that variant contains the values per energy community. With the default semicolon delimiter, the CSV file opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or your energy management system.

If the export covers several meters, you get a ZIP file with one file per meter, named after the metering point number and the meter's label. An export of more than 100,000 rows, such as two years of quarter-hour values for several meters, is prepared in the background. Once the file is ready, you get an email and a notification (bell icon), each with a Download button and the date until which you can download the file. If the export fails, you also get an email and a notification.

Data quality

The data-quality chart shows a donut chart of what share of your readings falls into each quality level:

Data quality: donut chart with Measured (L1, green), Estimated (L2, yellow) and Unreliable (L3, red); in this example 95.4% of values are measured.
Data quality: donut chart with Measured (L1, green), Estimated (L2, yellow) and Unreliable (L3, red); in this example 95.4% of values are measured.
  • Measured (L1, green): Actually measured values. This is the normal case. Aim for a share above 95%.
  • Estimated (L2, yellow): Values estimated by the grid operator because the measured value could not be transmitted. Individual estimated values are normal and have little effect on the analysis.
  • Unreliable (L3, red): Preliminary values with limited reliability, not suitable for billing. They are replaced by the grid operator with measured or estimated values within 60 days.

If your share of measured values is consistently below 95%, this may indicate a communication problem with the smart meter. In that case, contact your grid operator.

For experts

The quality levels (L1, L2, L3) follow the OBIS code conventions of the Austrian energy market. The exchange period for L3 values is 16 calendar days for energy communities and 60 days for general data exchange. L3 values must not be used for energy billing. After this period the grid operator replaces L3 values with measured or best-estimated values.

What do the OBIS codes mean?

The Measurement column shows what was measured: for most meters Grid consumption (1-1:1.9.0 P.01) or Grid feed-in (1-1:2.9.0 P.01). Which other codes exist, which one your analyses use, and why G.01 and P.01 must not be added together is explained in Understanding OBIS codes.
