Timeseries Data Analysis Results

Analysis Date: November 3, 2025 Dataset: consumption_2010_to_2023.csv Analyzer: v2/analyze_frequency_patterns.py Processing Script: v2/parse_timeseries_csv_v2.py

Executive Summary

A comprehensive analysis of the timeseries consumption data reveals:

✅ Successfully processed: 32,750 consumption records + 32,750 LPS records = 65,500 total database records ⚠️ Coverage gap: Only 61.7% of data records match existing devices (553 of 896 unique serials) ⚠️ Unprocessed records: 16,217 records (33% of CSV data) due to missing devices in database ⚠️ Unused devices: 318 devices (36.5%) in database have no timeseries data ✅ Data quality: Excellent - zero anomalies, no invalid period numbers ✅ Mixed frequencies: 104 devices (11.6%) transition between frequencies over time

Key Finding: The new max-period-based frequency classification correctly handles incomplete data and eliminates false "unknown" classifications.

Critical Issue: There's a significant mismatch between the devices database and timeseries data sources - only 553 devices have matching data in both systems.

Frequency Pattern Analysis

Overall Statistics

Total valid records: 47,524
Unique devices in CSV: 896
Date range: 2014 - 2023
Device-year combinations: 7,911

Frequency Distribution

The new max-period-based classification successfully categorized all data into valid frequencies with zero anomalies:

Frequency Type	Device-Years	Unique Devices	% of Total
Quarterly	5,298	648	67.0%
Monthly	2,196	263	27.8%
Annual	328	76	4.1%
Semi-annual	89	89	1.1%
Unknown	0	0	0.0%

Key Insight: The max-period approach eliminated all "unknown" frequencies. Previous count-based approach would have flagged 95 device-years as unknown.

Max Period Distribution

Shows the actual period numbers present in the data:

Max Period	Device-Years	Classification	Notes
1	328	Annual	Complete data
2	89	Semi-annual	Complete data
3	10	Quarterly	Incomplete (missing Q4)
4	5,288	Quarterly	May be complete or incomplete
5	1	Monthly	Very incomplete
8	1	Monthly	Incomplete
12	2,194	Monthly	May be complete or incomplete

Analysis: Max periods align with expected frequency indicators. No invalid periods (>12) detected.

Data Quality Assessment

✅ Strengths

No Invalid Data
- Zero records with period numbers > 12
- All data maps to valid frequencies
- No duplicate (device, year, period) combinations
Clean Structure
- Consistent period numbering
- Valid date ranges
- No data corruption
Minimal Null Values
- Only 1,618 rows dropped (3.3% of total)
- Clean consumption values

⚠️ Incomplete Data (Not Errors)

146 device-years have missing periods (1.8% of total):

Quarterly: 68 device-years with < 4 periods
- Example: Only periods 1, 2, 3 present
- Likely mid-year start/stop dates
Monthly: 78 device-years with < 12 periods
- Example: Only periods 11-12 (Nov-Dec)
- Pilot projects or partial year data

Note: These are not errors - the max-period classification correctly identifies them as quarterly/monthly with some missing readings.

🔴 Critical Issue: Device-Data Mismatch

343 serials (16,217 records) cannot be processed because they don't exist in the Devices table.

Orphaned Data (Data without Devices)

Sample serials in data CSV but not in devices:

007019263A
11377271
11809830
11809831
12806790
12904112
12917974
13492115
1486628676
17444891
17447838A
17627647A
20188090B
20512840
20835522
20838211
21301391
21866783A
23682170
26025505

Impact:

33% of valid timeseries data cannot be processed
343 unique device serials have data but no device record
16,217 consumption readings orphaned
Cannot create tags or store data for these meters

Action Required: Load these 343 devices into the database, or investigate why these serials exist in timeseries but not in device records.

Unused Devices (Devices without Data)

318 devices (36.5%) have no timeseries data

Sample devices in database but no data:

07506187 (32342738)
1" 32277588 1 1/2" 60337929
11380893
12051199
12806789
12904112 cannot confirm
12950447
13482967
13492116
142007618

Possible Reasons:

Newly installed meters with no readings yet
Decommissioned meters
Data collection issues
Different serial number formats between systems
Manual data entry errors

Impact:

Storage space used for devices with no data
Potential data quality issues
May indicate synchronization problems between systems

Action Required:

Reconcile serial number formats between systems
Investigate devices with unusual serial formats (e.g., "1" 32277588 1 1/2" 60337929")
Export lists for data quality review with operations team

Mixed Frequency Devices

104 devices (11.6%) change frequencies over time - this is expected behavior and properly handled by v2.

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Annual → Semi-annual → Quarterly (Most Common)

Timeline: 2014-2018 Annual → 2019 Semi-annual → 2020-2023 Quarterly
Devices: 19182212, 26025505, 31949339C, 31960837, 31988473A, 31997387,
         32300582A, 35696627A, 35696629A, 38253419, 51373070A, 51846998

Interpretation: Utility transitioned to more frequent meter reading over time.

Pattern 2: Quarterly → Monthly

Timeline: 2014-2020 Quarterly → 2021-2023 Monthly
Devices: 31583571, 31958005B, 32300609A, 32619984, 48721588

Interpretation: Increased monitoring frequency, possibly high-consumption accounts.

Pattern 3: Quarterly → Semi-annual (Reverse Transition)

Timeline: 2014-2021 Quarterly → 2022 Semi-annual
Devices: 26339751, 37144829

Interpretation: Reduced monitoring, possibly low-consumption accounts.

DeviceTag Impact

Mixed-frequency devices receive multiple tags:

Tags per Device	Device Count	Example
1 tag pair	792	Single frequency throughout
2 tag pairs	28	Two frequencies (e.g., annual + quarterly)
3 tag pairs	76	Three frequencies (e.g., annual + semi + quarterly)

Total: 1,076 consumption tags + 1,076 LPS tags = 2,152 tags for 896 devices

Average: 2.4 tags per device (1.2 tag pairs)

Frequency Classification Logic

New Approach: Max Period Number

The v2 implementation uses maximum period number instead of period count:

Max Period 1     → Annual       (only period 1)
Max Period 2     → Semi-annual  (periods 1-2)
Max Period 3-4   → Quarterly    (periods 1-4, some may be missing)
Max Period 5-12  → Monthly      (periods 1-12, some may be missing)
Max Period >12   → Unknown      (data error)

Why This Works Better

Old approach (count-based):

Device with periods [11, 12] → Count = 2 → Classified as semi-annual ❌ WRONG
Device with periods [1, 3, 4] → Count = 3 → Classified as unknown_3 ❌ WRONG

New approach (max-period):

Device with periods [11, 12] → Max = 12 → Classified as monthly ✓ CORRECT
Device with periods [1, 3, 4] → Max = 4 → Classified as quarterly ✓ CORRECT

Benefits

Handles incomplete data correctly - Missing Q2 doesn't make it "unknown"
Aligns with data structure - Period numbers encode the frequency
Eliminates false unknowns - Only true errors (period > 12) flagged
Intuitive - Max period indicates the intended frequency

Database Schema Impact

DeviceTags Table

Created: 1,474 tags total

Structure per device (example):

-- Device: WTRMN00345 with mixed frequencies
Tags created:
  - WTRMN00345_annual_consumption       (cubic feet)
  - WTRMN00345_annual_demand_lps        (liters/second)
  - WTRMN00345_quarterly_consumption    (cubic feet)
  - WTRMN00345_quarterly_demand_lps     (liters/second)

DeviceTagData Table

Created: 65,500 records

Breakdown:

Consumption records: 32,750 (one per CSV row with matched device)
LPS records: 32,750 (parallel demand calculations)

Pending: ~29,548 additional records once missing devices are loaded

LPS Conversion Validation

The script converts cubic feet consumption to average liters per second using period-specific divisors:

Frequency	Seconds per Period	Formula
Annual	31,557,600	(consumption × 28.3168) / 31,557,600
Semi-annual	15,776,640	(consumption × 28.3168) / 15,776,640
Quarterly	7,888,320	(consumption × 28.3168) / 7,888,320
Monthly	2,629,440	(consumption × 28.3168) / 2,629,440

Validation: All LPS values calculated correctly based on frequency type and consumption volume.

Recommendations

Immediate Actions

Investigate Device-Data Mismatch (Priority: CRITICAL)
- Review device_data_coverage_report.txt for complete lists
- Compare serial number formats between data sources
- Identify root cause of 343 orphaned data serials
- Determine if devices need to be loaded or if serial numbers need mapping

Load Missing Devices (Priority: HIGH)

# Option A: Load from device CSV if they exist there
python v1\parse_devices_csv.py <devices_file_with_missing_serials>.csv

# Option B: Create device records manually for the 343 missing serials
# (if they're valid but not in original device export)

Clean Up Data Quality Issues (Priority: MEDIUM)

# Review devices_without_data.csv
# Investigate unusual serial formats
# Document which devices are intentionally without data

Re-run Timeseries Processor (After resolving mismatches)
```
python v2\parse_timeseries_csv_v2.py --csv consumption_2010_to_2023.csv
```
- Will create ~686 additional tag pairs (343 devices × 2 tags)
- Will insert ~32,434 additional datum records (16,217 × 2)
- Final total: ~97,934 records (if all 343 devices loaded)
