Synthetic Profile

Definition

A Synthetic Profile is an artificially structured curve mapping presumed energy consumption over granular intervals simulating expected standardized demand for millions of uniform customers lacking true Interval measuring constraints.

Business Purpose and Architecture

If a utility only physically reads a simple mechanical dial meter once every year, it has no clue mathematically what day the customer ran the air conditioner in July to correctly bill peak market commodity rates. Architecturally, Energy Data Management supplies Synthetic Profiles (like a standard residential daily load curve). The system natively divides the customer’s massive 12-month actual usage chunk against the standard curve, calculates a singular unique Usage Factor (e.g., 1.2), and mathematically extrapolates an artificially generated billable 15-minute Interval array masking the lack of actual hardware.
