frequenz.lib.notebooks.reporting.metrics.reporting_metrics

Energy reporting metrics for production, consumption, and storage analysis.

This module provides helper functions for calculating and analyzing energy flows within a hybrid power system — including production, consumption, battery charging, grid feed-in, and self-consumption metrics.

Key features: It standardizes sign conventions (via production_is_positive) and ensures consistency in derived quantities such as: - Production surplus (excess generation) - Energy stored in a battery - Grid feed-in power - Self-consumption and self-consumption share - Inferred consumption when not explicitly provided

Usage

These functions serve as building blocks for energy reporting and dashboards that report on the performance of energy assets.

Functions

frequenz.lib.notebooks.reporting.metrics.reporting_metrics.asset_production

asset_production(
    production: Series, production_is_positive: bool = False
) -> Series

Extract the positive production portion from a power series.

Ensures only productive (non-negative) values remain, regardless of the sign convention used for production vs. consumption.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
production	Series of power values (e.g., kW or MW). TYPE: Series
production_is_positive	Whether production values are already positive. If False, production is inverted before clipping. TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Series	A Series where only production values (≥ 0) are retained, with all
Series	non-productive values set to zero.

consumption(

Infer total consumption from grid power, on-site production, and battery power.
