Half-Hourly Data
Half-hourly data is a specific form of interval data recorded every 30 minutes, the standard granularity for most commercial electricity meters in the UK and Ireland.
Definition
Half-hourly data is interval consumption data recorded at 30-minute intervals — the standard granularity for commercial electricity metering in markets like the UK and Ireland. It provides sufficient resolution for most load profiling, anomaly detection, and time-of-use tariff analysis without the data volume of finer-grained telemetry.
Why It Matters
Half-hourly data is the practical standard most commercial energy analytics platforms are built around — finer granularity is sometimes available but rarely necessary for typical monitoring use cases.
How ecolyptus Helps
ecolyptus is built to ingest and analyse half-hourly data as its core data granularity, aligned with standard commercial meter output.
