Benchmark Analysis

Understanding the Components of Benchmark Analysis results.

The advantage of the benchmark analysis is the presentation of the results in bar charts, which allow for a quick and clear comparison of multiple locations.

Operational Conditions per Year

The bar chart shows the annual percentage distribution of operational conditions in the categories nominal, moderate, and severe.

Structure

Horizontal Bar:

• Represents the operational conditions in blue, dark blue, and red colors.

• The length of the sections corresponds to the occurrence of each condition.

• A scale from 0 to 100 shows the percentage distribution.

Legend:

• Blue: Nominal operational conditions

• Dark Blue: Moderate operational conditions

• Red: Critical operational conditions

Analysis Details:

• The analysis location is specified to the left of the chart.

• The analysis period and the considered time of day are noted at the bottom.

Operational Conditions Months (Nominal / Nominal+Moderate)

The bar charts show the monthly percentage distribution of nominal/nominal & moderate operational conditions, with a color scale visualizing the magnitude of the values.

Structure

Horizontal Bar:

• Colors range from green to yellow to red, depending on the occurrence of the analyzed operational conditions.

• The values of nominal operational conditions are directly indicated for each month.

• The months from January to December are listed below the corresponding section of the bar.

Legend:

• The scale ranges from 0 to 100 [%].

• The legend is located to the right of the bar:

  • Green: High percentage of nominal/nominal & moderate operational conditions

  • Yellow: Medium percentage of nominal/nominal & moderate operational conditions

  • Red: Low percentage of nominal/nominal & moderate operational conditions

Analysis Details:

• The analysis location is specified to the left of the chart.

• The analysis period and the considered time of day are noted at the bottom.

Reasons for severe/moderate conditions

The bar charts summarize the parameters contributing to moderate and severe conditions and display their percentage share of the total caused moderate and severe conditions.

Structure

Horizontal Bar:

• A color-coded bar representing the causes of severe/moderate operational conditions.

• The respective parameters of the defined limit set are considered in the analysis.

• Percentage values are directly indicated for each category on the bar.

• The parameters are listed above their respective shares on the bar.

Legend:

• Red: High contribution to severe/moderate conditions

• Blue: Moderate contribution to severe/moderate conditions

• Gray: Low contribution to severe/moderate conditions

Analysis Details:

• The location is specified to the left of the chart.

• The time period and time of day are noted at the bottom.
