Simulate an allocation key

Guide utilisateur User guide Gebruikershandleiding Benutzerhandbuch

1 Open the simulation module

Navigation
Click the "Simulation" card to open the module and reach the configuration form for a new simulation.
1. Open the simulation module

2 Simulation page

Simulation module
The simulation page displays its configuration form: pick a saved allocation key, name the simulation, set the injection, and upload the consumption file to simulate.
2. Simulation page

3 Choose the allocation key

Configuration
Open the "Allocation key" dropdown and select the key you just saved. The simulation will apply this allocation to the imported consumption data.
3. Choose the allocation key

4 Name the simulation and injection

Configuration
Enter a name for the simulation ("Simulation Run 1") and the injection name ("Production"), which matches the production column of the data file.
4. Name the simulation and injection

5 Import the file to simulate

Input data
Upload the same "test_4.csv" file into the drop zone. The simulation will compute self-consumption and energy sharing from this data and the selected key.
5. Import the file to simulate

6 Launch the simulation

Execution
Click "Run simulation". The simulation is queued and appears in the runs list with a "Pending" status until the computation completes.
6. Launch the simulation

7 Simulation results

Headline metrics
The simulation is complete. The headline metrics are shown: self-consumed energy, surplus, self-sufficiency rate, and sharing rate — computed from the saved key and the imported file.
7. Simulation results

8 Per-iteration, per-consumer detail

Detailed analysis
Each key iteration can be expanded to reveal the per-consumer detail: allocation, consumption, self-consumed energy, surplus, and residual volume. This is where allocation solutions are compared.
