Industrial Energy Data Readiness: A Practical Verification Method

Industrial PV and battery-storage assessments combine interval measurements, equipment assumptions, tariff schedules and contractual choices. Errors at their interfaces can remain hidden even when an input file is readable. This technical note proposes a practical verification method for the handover between data owners, commercial teams and technical modellers. The method defines a measurement boundary, preserves source provenance, checks time coverage and quantity semantics, separates measured values from assumptions, and records unresolved commercial inputs. An accompanying synthetic example demonstrates interval checks across a daylight-saving transition. The example is generated mathematically and contains no customer measurements. Software tests verify selected implementation behaviours; they do not establish empirical accuracy, optimal equipment sizing or financial performance. The output is a traceable assessment input package and an explicit list of remaining evidence requirements.
