overview

netpower billing is a billing software package that generates bills for energy consumers based on energy provider metrics (such as rate schedules, rate periods, and seasons) and energy user profile information (such as group charges, individual charges, and individual billing formulas).

netpower billing is designed to distribute energy costs incurred by a single institution to individual users within the institution using the same cost-per-utilization scheme as the energy provider.


example:
suppose the manager of a shopping mall receives a monthly bill from the utility company. the manager can use netpower billing to bill the individual tenants in the mall for their individual energy utilization, as if the utility company billed them directly.

this software produces reports, or energy bills, of individual energy usage which can be printed, saved to a file or distributed via e-mail.

energy is allocated based on kwh and peak kw demand coincident to the utility peak demand. kvah or kva demand billing will also be available in early 1999.

netpower billing also serves as a mechanism to evaluate alternate utility rate structures. based on monthly billing data and various user-defined utility rate structures, netpower bill will provide reports which can be compared for cost effectiveness.

netpower billing must be used in conjunction with the netcore.

netpower track software, when used by industrial users in conjunction with netpower bill software as part of an mrp system, provides manufactured cost-per-piece.

dde elog is an optional component that allows netpower bill to work with any manufacturer's meters through using a standard dde server or a dde server from the meter manufacturer.
