Structure and Visible Elements

  • Widget header with:
  • Widget title (e.g. “Energy Area Chart”)
  • Subtitle for contextual classification (e.g. “Data source comparison”)
  • Icons for selecting or displaying the visualization type
  • Optional additional icon for CO₂ context
  • Time filter dropdown (e.g. “Today”)
  • Action icons:
    • Play
    • Change order (up/down)
    • Fullscreen
    • Three-dot menu
  • Visualization area:
  • Area chart with a filled area beneath a time series
  • Horizontal axis:
    • Time axis with fine temporal resolution
  • Vertical axis:
    • Scale for the displayed metric
  • A single continuous line forming the upper boundary of the area
  • The area is semi-transparent and extends down to the zero line
  • Display of a single data source
  • Control area below the chart:
  • Selection of the displayed metric (e.g. Energy)
  • Unit selection (e.g. kilowatt-hours (kWh))
  • Statistics or aggregation selection
  • Display of the active data source:
    • Color indicator
    • Label
    • Toggle to enable or disable
    • Three-dot menu

Typical Use Cases in Utility Metering and Energy Management

  • Visualization of energy consumption over time with a focus on consumption levels
  • Visual emphasis on peaks and troughs in energy usage over short periods
  • Assessment of base load levels and their fluctuations
  • Analysis of cumulative or continuous consumption patterns
  • Support for evaluating operating states of individual areas or assets
  • Use for operational analyses where the intensity of energy usage over time is the primary focus
  • Complementary visualization alongside line or bar charts to improve perception of consumption density
