Prerequisites
- Several sites in your organisation;
- Have several electricity meters reporting data.
How can you access them?
My tracking > Fleet view > Electricity curve
How does it work?
One curve per site or all sites together?
You can view either :
- The cumulative consumption of several sites to see the total;
- A curve for each site to compare them with each other.
To do this, simply click on the Cumulate sites button, then Display.

Types of curve
You can view different types of curve:
- Consumption (kWh): is the total consumption of your site in kilowatt hours. A kilowatt hour corresponds to the operation of an appliance with a power of 1 kW for 1 hour (i.e. 1000 watts/hour);
- Active power (kW): is the power transformed into heat or movement. It is defined as the "useful" power of electricity;
- Apparent power (kVA): is the (vectorial) sum of active power and reactive power;
- Total reactive power (kVAr): this is the "non-useful" power of electricity, since it is not converted into usable energy. It is the sum of inductive and capacitive reactive power. This power mainly concerns industrial consumers (this data depends on the meters and is more rarely available);
- Inductive reactive power (kVAr): this power is generated by motors (this data depends on the meters and is more rarely available);
- Capacitive reactive power (kVAr): this power is generated by electronic equipment such as capacitors and long cables (this data depends on the meters and is rarely available);
To do this, click on the drop-down list Type of curve then Display.
