What is a Recipe:
All the metrics which are available to be plotted in ‘Data Explorer’ in Visualisation tab in EPSI are computed using recipes in the backend. These metrics can either be raw properties (which is a direct output of the model) or a recipe. A recipe is a computational formula that defines how to derive a target data series metric from source data through mathematical operations and aggregations. Recipes enable the transformation of raw data, model outputs, and intermediate calculations into meaningful market insights and analytics.
You can create a new metric in EPSI Admin by defining it as a recipe. Once all required fields are completed, any scenarios executed afterward will automatically include this metric as a data series in the Visualization section.
Adding the recipe:
We can add a recipe here: EPSI management.
Parameters required to fill while adding a recipe:
ID : auto-filled
Name : internal name for backend computing (can be set to anything unique)
Display Name: Name which will be displayed in EPSI
System Name: Category Name (not mandatory)
Object-1 : Primary filter category (Zone, Fuel, Plant, etc)
Object-2 : Secondary filter (Not Mandatory)
Recipe : Formula of the metric
Conversion : main function used in the formula (sum, average, etc)
Low Res : Least resolution of the calculated metrics
Vibility : `all` or `admin`
Hourly Units : order of magnitude of the metric (MWh, GWh, etc)
