Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time Time zone and Daylight saving time Time zone and Daylight saving time EMD International A/S, Niels Jernesvej 10, DK-9220 Aalborg Ø, tel: +45 9635 4444, fax: +45 9635 4446, email: [email protected], www.emd.dk Introduction Introduction With energyPRO 4.2 is introduced time zone and daylight saving time. The correct selection of time zone and daylight saving time is important when it comes to the right time stamp of time series. Typically, time series with metrological data are in standard time, while time series with electricity prices are in daylight saving time. Setting time zone in External conditions When making a new project file or opening a project file previously saved in energyPRO 4.1, the time zone will automatically be the same as the time zone used by the computer. If you are going to work on a project located in a different time zone press Edit. This gives the following window: EMD International A/S, Niels Jernesvej 10, DK-9220 Aalborg Ø, tel: +45 9635 4444, fax: +45 9635 4446, email: [email protected], www.emd.dk 2 Setting time zone in External conditions Here it is possible to change the time zone: Another option is to make a user defined time zone: EMD International A/S, Niels Jernesvej 10, DK-9220 Aalborg Ø, tel: +45 9635 4444, fax: +45 9635 4446, email: [email protected], www.emd.dk 3 Setting daylight saving time and different time zone on time series Here you can specify offset to UTC. In this case the time zone is UTC +1 hour. Also, it is possible to enable or disable daylight savings and to detail the daylight saving settings. Setting daylight saving time and different time zone on time series In energyPRO 4.2, three new options have been added. Time series is in daylight saving time If the time series is in daylight saving time, enable this checkbox. This will typically be the case for price time series, such as electricity spot prices and electricity balancing prices. Typically time series not in daylight saving time are metrological time series. Define location This checkbox has to be enabled if the time series contains solar radiation values and is used in a solar collector or photovoltaic.

The latitude has positive values north of equator and negative values south of equator. The longitude has positive values east of Greenwich Mean Time (UTC) and negative values west of Greenwich Mean Time. Different time zone If the time series is in a different time zone than the time zone of the project, this checkbox is selected. This gives the same options as in External conditions: EMD International A/S, Niels Jernesvej 10, DK-9220 Aalborg Ø, tel: +45 9635 4444, fax: +45 9635 4446, email: [email protected], www.emd.dk 5 Converting time series according to time zone and daylight saving time A typical case can be metrological data measured in UTC time. Converting time series according to time zone and daylight saving time If the time series is in a different time zone it is converted according to the difference in UTC offset. If the projects time zone is with daylight saving time and the time series is with daylight saving time the time series is not changed. If the time series is in standard time the values are moved one hour forward in the daylight saving time period. Likewise, if the projects time zone is without daylight saving time and the time series is in daylight saving time the values are moved one hour backward in the daylight saving time period. The first graph below shows the original time series, which is in standard time, second graph shows the time series in the planning period in the daylight saving time period. As it appears, the values are moved one hour forward.

  • Daylight Saving Time (DST)
    Daylight Saving Time (DST) Updated September 30, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45208 Daylight Saving Time (DST) Summary Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a period of the year between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. DST begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The beginning and ending dates are set in statute. Congressional interest in the potential benefits and costs of DST has resulted in changes to DST observance since it was first adopted in the United States in 1918. The United States established standard time zones and DST through the Calder Act, also known as the Standard Time Act of 1918. The issue of consistency in time observance was further clarified by the Uniform Time Act of 1966. These laws as amended allow a state to exempt itself—or parts of the state that lie within a different time zone—from DST observance. These laws as amended also authorize the Department of Transportation (DOT) to regulate standard time zone boundaries and DST. The time period for DST was changed most recently in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005; P.L. 109-58). Congress has required several agencies to study the effects of changes in DST observance. In 1974, DOT reported that the potential benefits to energy conservation, traffic safety, and reductions in violent crime were minimal. In 2008, the Department of Energy assessed the effects to national energy consumption of extending DST as changed in EPACT 2005 and found a reduction in total primary energy consumption of 0.02%.

  • Soils in the Geologic Record
    in the Geologic Record 2021 Soils Planner Natural Resources Conservation Service Words From the Deputy Chief Soils are essential for life on Earth. They are the source of nutrients for plants, the medium that stores and releases water to plants, and the material in which plants anchor to the Earth’s surface.

  • GPS Operation V1 4.Fm
    Operation of the Courtyard CY490 SPG While Connected to the GPS Receiver No part of this document may be transmitted or reproduced in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopy, recording or any information storage and retrieval system, without permission in writing from Courtyard Electronics Limited. Introduction One of the best sources of reference for both frequency and time, is the Global Positioning System. The GPS system only transmits a complete UTC-GPS time message once every 12.5 minutes. So when powering up the GPS receiver it might be best to wait 12.5 minutes before relying on the GPS time. The CY490 SPG uses a 12 channel GPS receiver. As the SPG is powered the GPS receiver begins searching for satellites from which it can get time, frequency and phase information. In a good reception area as many as 12 satellites may be visible. The SPG only requires 3 satellites to be located and fully decoded before it can start using the GPS data. The search for the first 3 satellites can take up to 3 minutes, but is often accomplished in 2. If less than 3 satellites are available, the SPG will not lock to GPS. The number of satellites can be monitored on the first menu and on the remote control program CY490MiniMessage. The CY490MiniMessage gives a graphic view of satellites and provides much information for the user. GPS and television From a GPS receiver, the Master Clock can derive UTC and also add the appropriate time offset and provide corrected local time.

    Pecision System Clock Architecture 15 Pecision System Clock Architecture “Time iz like money, the less we hav ov it teu spare the further we make it go.” Josh Billing Encyclopedia and Proverbial Philosophy of Wit and Humor, 1874 225 Pecision System Clock Architecture Limitations of the Art Over the almost three decades that NTP has evolved, accuracy expectations have improved from 100 ms to less than 1 ms on fast LANs with multiple segments interconnected by switches and less than a few milliseconds on most campus and corporate networks with multiple subnets interconnected by routers. Today the practical expectations with a GPS receiver, PPS signal and precision kernel support are a few microseconds. In principle the ultimate expectations are limited only by the 232-ps resolution of the NTP timestamp format or about the time light travels three inches. Improving accuracy expectations below the PPS regime is proving intricate and tricky. In this chapter we turn to the most ambitious means available to minimize errors in the face of hardware and software not designed for extraordinary timekeeping. First we examine the hardware and software components for a precision system clock and evolve an optimal design. Next we survey timestamping techniques using both hardware, driver and software methods to minimize errors due to media, device and operating system latencies. Finally, we explore the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), how it is used in a high speed LAN, and how it and NTP can sail in the same boat. The parting shots section proposes a hardware assisted design which provides performance equivalent to PTP with only minimal modifications to the Unix operating system kernel.

  • Date and Time Terms and Definitions
    Date and Time Terms and Definitions Date and Time Terms and Definitions Brooks Harris Version 35 2016-05-17 Introduction Many documents describing terms and definitions, sometimes referred to as “vocabulary” or “dictionary”, address the topics of timekeeping. This document collects terms from many sources to help unify terminology and to provide a single reference document that can be cited by documents related to date and time. The basic timekeeping definitions are drawn from ISO 8601, its underlying IEC specifications, the BIPM Brochure (The International System of Units (SI)) and BIPM International vocabulary of metrology (VIM). Especially important are the rules and formulas regarding TAI, UTC, and “civil”, or “local”, time. The international standards that describe these fundamental time scales, the rules and procedures of their maintenance, and methods of application are scattered amongst many documents from several standards bodies using various lexicon. This dispersion makes it difficult to arrive at a clear understanding of the underlying principles and application to interoperable implementations. This document collects and consolidates definitions and descriptions from BIPM, IERS, and ITU-R to clarify implementation. There remain unresolved issues in the art and science of timekeeping, especially regarding “time zones” and the politically driven topic of “local time”. This document does not attempt to resolve those dilemmas but describes the terminology and the current state of the art (at the time of publication) to help guide

  • Application Note AN2015-03
    Application Note AN2015-03 Solving UTC and Local Time Time-Stamp Challenges Using ACSELERATOR TEAM® SEL-5045 Software Joshua Hughes INTRODUCTION As intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) that allow historical data recording and trending (such as protective relays and revenue meters) are integrated into power systems, it becomes apparent that correlating time between devices at multiple locations can be a complex issue. It is good practice to connect high-accuracy clocks to all IEDs to allow for event analysis. When comparing events, it is usually easy to determine if one event record is applicable or not because of time zone differences or daylight-saving time (DST) discrepancies. However, when comparing continuous trending data, such as load profile data, it becomes much more important to record accurate time zone and DST information. Without this information, the data profile might not provide enough detail to determine what local time the data were recorded in. This application note describes the challenges associated with time zones and DST, and it presents two ACSELERATOR TEAM® SEL-5045 Software configurations for solving time-stamp ambiguity issues. PROBLEM The two major challenges associated with data time stamps are time zones and DST application. Most users prefer that IEDs in the field be programmed with local time to make their jobs easier, but this causes complications with older devices that do not understand time zones or DST. Time Zones Local times were first determined by apparent solar time using devices such as sundials. Because apparent solar time fluctuates based on where the measurement is taken (roughly four minutes for every degree of longitude), time zones were created to maintain a standard time between multiple regions.

  • Corvil Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) Clock Synchronization Report CWP-180617 CORVIL COORDINATED UNIVERSAL TIME (UTC) CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION REPORT
    Corvil Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) Clock Synchronization Report CWP-180617 CORVIL COORDINATED UNIVERSAL TIME (UTC) CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION REPORT Introduction In an increasingly algorithmic and machine-driven world, the integrity of time has become critical. Time precision and consistency has long been a factor in measuring and optimizing high performance environments (lest clock drift lead to negative latencies), but it has become the basis for auditability, accountability, and determining causality in digital business of all types. Market transparency and surveillance, AI oversight, and cybersecurity forensics all depend on proper sequencing of events that happen in short timescales (thousandths or millionths of a second in many cases). Regulators for the Financial Services industry have taken the first steps in requiring time precision and integrity as a critical component of transparency. These regulations begin with a requirement to establish clock synchronization with a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) source. Compliance teams, business teams, and technical teams alike benefit from having independent and continuous assessment of their synchronization status – that is, traceability to UTC. Whether for meeting European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) MiFID II or Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) requirements, or simply ensuring appropriate oversight of a foundational business technology, Corvil takes the complexity and guesswork out of obtaining that independent insight. Corvil’s clock synchronization reporting capabilities simplify daily compliance and risk assessment as well as on-demand audit reporting for any time period. The reported metrics deliver evidence of a level of granularity and an internal operational standard even tighter than regulatory requirements, providing a strategic investment to address future needs.
