Hi there,

With the recent release of the sample data for Counties Power (http://www.emi.ea.govt.nz/Datasets/Supplementary_information/2017), I have some quick questions. From the spreadsheet (20170313_Consumption_profiles.xlsm) it states:

The data is a subset of the full Counties Power network - in this case is provided from one substation (approx 20% of the total network)

Data provided included details of Feeders, Transformers, ICPs, Meters & Consumption - anonymised Looking at the file

Looking at the file 20170313_tx_seas_time_profile.csv, I can see about 71 transformer IDs (e.g. T000017, T004021 etc.).

1. Do we Are you able to say what the name/identifier of the substation was that these feeders/transformers are linked to?

I can see that Feeders are potentially linked to multiple transformers (e.g. from 20170313_tx_seas_time_profile.csv) T000030,F000060 T000082,F000060

2. If so how do feeders, transformers link back to the NSP or POC code as indicated in the file 20170314_Network_supply_points_table.csv (http://www.emi.ea.govt.nz/Datasets/Wholesale/Reconciliation/Network_supply_points_table)?

3. Is the relationship as follows? NSP (i.e. Substation) > Feeder > Transformer > ICP

Thanks,

David

Hi David - thanks for your questions,

Q1. Do we Are you able to say what the name/identifier of the substation was that these feeders/transformers are linked to?

A1 > the details relating to feeders / transformers was anonymised by Counties to ensure individual user profiles could not be identified from the supplied data.

For released transformer data this included removal of any transformer details where there were less than 20 ICPs associated with that transformer

Q2. If so how do feeders, transformers link back to the NSP or POC code as indicated in the file 20170314_Network_supply_points_table.csv (http://www.emi.ea.govt.nz/Datasets/Wholesale/Reconciliation/Network_supply_points_table)?

A2 > this isn't possible with the data as provided

Q3. Is the relationship as follows? NSP (i.e. Substation) > Feeder > Transformer > ICP

A3 > Correct

Privacy was a primary concern regarding the release of this information.

regards, Jason

Great thanks for the response Jason. Understand around the concern of privacy - just thought I'd ask to confirm my thinking. Thanks!

Are the data aggregated from metered consumption, or measured at feeder level?

Hi msouness

The data is aggregated from individual ICP level HHR (half hourly) meter data spanning the 2016 calendar year.

I hope that answers your question.

Will Counties be using this information to improve its published loss factor?

Hi msourness,

Short answer - sorry I can't help regards that question.

Longer answer -

The data presented here was prepared specifically for the CreativeHQ Innovation participants with Counties providing the raw inputs. The scope did not extend beyond the data supply to the Innovation participants,

Also - in no way do I represent Counties & it wouldn't be appropriate of me to comment regarding intentions of Counties.
