Hi,
I have snapshots of electricity cosumption data. For eg.
at 4:00 am, the consumption is 3000 kw
at 4:15 am, the consumption is 15205 kw
at 4:30 am, the consumption is 14356 kw
at 4:45 am, the consumption is 14002 kw
Now these data are not cumulative. The value is recorded at that particular minute.
so at 4:00 am, the value for energy consumed is 3000. Then later at 15th minute, it is recorded as 15205 kw and so on.
Based on the snapshots of data I have at each 15th minute, I want to find the total energy consumed in 1 hour. If it was a 24 hour period with a similar data recorded at each 15th minute, I would like to find a total energy consumed for 24 hours period.
Any help is appreciated.
@suhana,
Su you might have to access a more technically oriented forum
@dalehileman,
Having perused through the posts in the science forums of this site and having found every proof of the contrary, I wonder why you would assert such non-sense.
@suhana,
Well, first you have to find the hourly average comsumption:
3000+15025+14356+14002/4= 11,595.75 KWh
If you have this pattern for every hour, then your daily comsumption becomes quite accurate:
11,595.75 x24 = 278298 KWh..
