The CygNet ELF system supports three user interface features: the CygNet ELF EIE Editor, which is used for importing and configuring data, and two ActiveX controls used for viewing data: the CygNet ELF Trend Grid ActiveX control and the CygNet ELF Tree Grid ActiveX control.
Configuration of the Energy Load Forecasting system is performed using the property pages of the ELF EIE editor. The EIE is implemented and packaged as part of a standard DDS import/export device editor DLL and is hosted within a CygNet Explorer application instance.
The ELF EIE is responsible for importing historical gas load data, forecast gas load data, historical input data, and forecast input data, and storing that data into CygNet. The EIE then uses this data to perform neural network definition training and energy load forecasting tasks. The analysis of forecast variance is a background processes in the ELF driver. Variance analysis processing can add retraining tasks to the training priority queue for neural network definitions whose forecasts are not within an acceptable range of the actual gas load.
An administrator can control all aspects of the forecasting process, including: the configuration of system default attributes, specification of file input locations, input data category setup, neural network template and definition creation, and viewing of the statuses of neural network definitions.
See CygNet ELF EIE Editor for a description of each page on the ELF EIE editor.
The CygNet ELF Trend Grid Control is used to view data trends and tabular displays. This interface component is implemented and packaged as the CygNet ELF Trend Grid ActiveX control and is hosted within a CygNet Studio application instance. See CygNet ELF Trend Grid for a description of this ActiveX control.
The CygNet ELF Tree Grid Control is used to navigate meters and groups. This interface component is implemented and packaged as the CygNet ELF Tree Grid ActiveX control and is hosted within a CygNet Studio application instance. See CygNet ELF Tree Grid for a description of this ActiveX control.
