Chart

View the chart at System level under Evaluation.

Basic info

Description	The variance analysis chart displays: The actual, measured energy (as bar chart) The expected, simulated energy (as area chart and single data point) The exact target value of the expected power is displayed as single data point. In reference to this data point, the area chart in the background shows three percentage areas of that value in different colors. In reference to these percentage areas, the bars displaying the actual power are colored depending on the percentage actually measured. 📗 Example If the upper end of a bar reaches the green area in the background it will be colored green as well. This means that the system is performing very well. If the upper end of a bar also exceeds the single data point (triangle), the system's performance is even better than expected in the simulation. If a bar is red the system should be checked.
Prerequisites	None
Further details	Configure the method for the expected power simulation under Simulation.

Description

The variance analysis chart displays:

The actual, measured energy (as bar chart)
The expected, simulated energy (as area chart and single data point)

The exact target value of the expected power is displayed as single data point. In reference to this data point, the area chart in the background shows three percentage areas of that value in different colors.

In reference to these percentage areas, the bars displaying the actual power are colored depending on the percentage actually measured.

Example

If the upper end of a bar reaches the green area in the background it will be colored green as well. This means that the system is performing very well. If the upper end of a bar also exceeds the single data point (triangle), the system's performance is even better than expected in the simulation. If a bar is red the system should be checked.

Prerequisites

None

Further details

Configure the method for the expected power simulation under Simulation.
