The “Time Benchmark” analysis enables tabular and graphical comparison of consumption at different measuring points in selected time periods. Thus, it is possible to quickly gain a clear insight into the development of energy consumption or other measured quantity in different periods. Monthly, weekly or daily data can be compared.
Usually, the last period is compared with past similar periods, e.g. last month with previous months or the same month in the previous year. At the daily level, it is reasonable to compare the same days in a week (e.g. Monday with the previous Monday, etc.).
In addition, an indicator (index) is calculated which shows the comparison between periods and comparison with average past value in percentages.

7. DATA IMPORT
Picture 20: Path to the “Data Import” tool
The “Manual entry” tool allows the entry of the missing data or correction of data that have already been stored in the database. The data can be entered at different intervals, and then they aggregate or are distributed to the interval where the entered data are saved in the database.
A comment may be added to each manual entry which is visible in the system along the entered data, while also information is available on which user entered the data and when.
The user must have a special right to enter data granted by the system administrator.
The data can be also imported into the system also from an Excel (.xslx) file. The import of the Excel file is very convenient, since users do not have to manualy input the data. The user simply selects the file and the application creates a preview of the import which can be subsequently corrected or supplemented.
Main functionalities:
• The import of missing data or data with no activated automatic import• The import of data at different intervals and their aggregation to high or low levels• The trace of data entry with comments and information on the user and time of entry• Simple import of data from an Excel (.xslx) file

8. 8. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
The “Energy Efficiency” analysis is designed for energy managers for easy and prompt access to information on the inefficient use of energy. The tool provides users with relevant information on energy and water consumption in relation to the consumption-dependent variables (such as temperature deficit, temperature excess, production quantity).
The “Energy Efficiency” tool provides the generation of the following (sub)analyses:
• Characteristic indicator;• M&T chart;• CuSum.
Picture 22: Path to the “Energy Efficiency” tool
Main tool functionalities:
• Monitoring the consumption per product unit, temperature deficit and other independent variables• Monitoring the energy consumption efficiency• Triggering an alarm in the event of inefficient energy use• Evaluation of energy savings (in energy and money)• Generating reports• Exporting reports
8.1. CHARACTERISTIC INDICATOR
Picture 23: The “Characteristic Indicator” tool
15
The Characteristic Indicator or specific consumption demonstrates the value of energy consumption per product unit or benchmark hour, or any other independent variable.
Monitoring & Targeting (M&T) analyses provide the target monitoring of energy consumption or Monitoring and Targeting (M&T) to be introduced and used.
M&T analysis is an advanced analysis that demonstrates the dependency of two types of data–the dependent and independent variable. It is the key analysis of energy efficiency and enables users to set target lines for the desired energy consumption.
The target line is a linear function that links the independent variable (production, temperature shortage, etc.) and the energy consumption that is dependent on it, in a specified time interval. It therefore defines how much energy may be consumed at a certain level of production.
Upon the selection of the parameters, the M&T chart is generated in the analysis, and a table containing values below it (Figure 8). An independent variable lies on the x axis of the chart and the dependent variable on the y axis.
The analysis draws a regression line that represents the average connection of the points displayed.
The two main factors are the dispersion of points (R2) and the inclination of the line. The point where the regression line crosses the ordinate (y) indicates the quantity of the energy product consumption which is independent from the production volume.
A great dispersion of points around the regression line demonstrates that other factors also effect the codependency between the compared variables. One of the factors that affect the dispersion may also be the human factor or uncontrolled losses. The introduction of target monitoring of energy consumption provides the reduction in use of energy products and decreases energy costs.
8.2. MONITORING & TARGETING CHART
Picture 24: “M&T chart” tool
16
In addition to the drawn regression line, the analysis enables the target line to be determined in relation to past consumption, namely:• the target line should be lower than the regression line by X% of the demonstrated trend,• the target line should be equal to the trend of X% of the best values displayed,• target line may also be set manually given the prescribed indicators (benchmarking)
8.3. CUSUM CHART
Once the target line is set, the efficiency of the target set can be monitored regularly with the CUSUManalysis (CUmulative SUM deviation).
The Cumulative Sums analysis is a statistical technique that defines the deviations between actual energy consumption and the target value that we have set in the M&T chart. The CUSUM analysis therefore directly depends on the selected target value of the typical energy consumption–target line.
A rising curve represents a negative trend–we are regressing from the target value. On the contrary, a falling curve is a sign of a successful trend. The points below the x axis–negative values mean that we achieved the targets. A greater inclination of increase or decrease represents the intensity of this (in)efficiency.

9. ELECTRICAL POWER OVERVIEWS
Picture 26: Path to the “Electrical power overviews” tool
17
The “Electrical Power Overview” analysis enables an overview of electrical power consumption at different tariffs, information on maximum and capacity charges, cos(fi) in any period from the data on consumed electrical power.
The “Evaluation of electrical power bills” analysis provides an automatic generation of electrical power costs based on the electrical power consumption at different tariffs and peak powers and price listsfor using the electricity grids and price lists of suppliers. This enables a comparison with bills sent by supplier and distributer of electrical power.
By entering different price lists, the analysis can facilitate the selection of the most favourable provider of electrical power based on the comparison of monthly or annual prices of electricity.
