Data search

In the data search you can:

• View different time resolutions: 5-, 15-, and 30-minutes of submitted Metering Data.
• View Interval Period over which interval energy data is recorded by the metering installation that corresponds to a TI or submultiples of a TI. time.
• View an interval value and status per row.
• View a substitution type column (where applicable).
• View a row per interval per suffix.
• View Metering Data for any suffixes defined in the CNDS table, such as net data (Nx) streams, active (Ex, Bx) or reactive (Kx, Qx) suffixes.
• Query a maximum of seven days of Interval Metering Data.
• Query a maximum of 12 months Consumption The electricity used over a period of time Metering Data.
• View Metering Data regardless of the format (MDMF or MDFF Meter Data File Format. The standard format for delivery of metering data to market participants, service providers and registered participants.) from the Initiating Participant. For help, see Data search.
• Export the query results to csv Comma Separated Values. A file format for data using commas as delimiters.. Restructure query results to support readability.

You can only submit Metering Data by the Batch Handlers but you can view submitted data you have a NMI See Relevant Rules or Procedures relationship with in the MSATS Market Settlement and Transfer Solutions. The procedures published by AEMO under clause 7.2.8 of the National Electricity Rules, which include those governing the recording of financial responsibility for energy flows at a connection point, the transfer of that responsibility between market participants, and the recording of energy flows at a connection point.

Metering data search fields explained

Field	Description	Data type	Mandatory
Datastream	Active within the date range: Limit the search to Datastreams where the status code is currently A for any period between the selected dates Active at some stage: Includes Datastreams active during the Start and End Dates but are no longer active (Datastreams where the Datastream status code was A but has changed to I)	Selection	Yes
Datastream Type	Interval: The NMI’s Datastreams are type Interval (48 daily readings) or Consumption and the reading is a single value representing total consumption since the last read, click Interval. The NMI’s Metering Installation Type Code is COMMSn, MRIM, UMCP, PROFILE, or SAMPLE. It is Consumption if the Metering installation type is BASIC. Consumption: The Metering Installation Type Code is BASIC.	Selection	Yes
End Date	For Interval reads, where each record is for a specific date, enter the last date data was received For consumption reads, records are selected if the date entered is: Within the Start and End date of the reading After the End date of the reading but the Start Date entered is after to the Start Date of the reading and prior to the End Date of the reading	Date dd-mm-yyyy	Yes
Meter Data	Current Readings: There are more than one reading for a Datastream, only the most recently submitted one displays. For example, an estimated reading is replaced by an actual reading Current and Historical Readings: There are prior readings superseded by more recent data	Selection	Yes
NMI	The unique National Metering Identifier (NMI) for the Connection Point	10 alphanumeric	Yes
Start Date	For Interval reads, where each record is for a specific date, enter the first date data was received For consumption reads, records are selected if the date entered is: Within the Start and End date of the reading Prior to the Start Date of the reading but the End Date entered is after the Start Date of the reading and prior to the End Date of the reading	Date dd-mm-yyyy	Yes

Metering data result fields

Field	Description
A/H	A - indicates this is the current record for this period H - indicates this is a history record (another more recent record has replaced it)
Load Date	The date and time the Metering Data was loaded into MSATS
MDP Version Date	The date and time stamp the MDP’s system assigned to the record when the Metering Data was loaded into their system
Settlement Date	The date for the period covered by this read
Status	The status of each reading; the codes and their meanings are: A: actual E: estimated S: substituted data F: substitutions that are considered final (that is, not to be replaced by actual data)
Suffix	The MDM Datastream suffix record, as defined for this NMI in the CATS Standing Data
Values	The value of the read in kWh Depending on the meter register type, this value may be an actual read or the difference between the last meter read time and the previous meter read time.
