## 8 Developed Tool
### Real Case Study  
In order to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the proposed tool's functionality, the subsequent procedure for its proper utilization will be delineated. This analysis will ensure the effective application of the tool and will also underscore its capabilities and scope in the evaluation of energy data. Prior to the entry of data into the tool, it is imperative to ascertain the electricity consumption for the designated period. In the case of Spain, this information must be obtained through the designated platform provided by the distributor or marketer responsible for the supply in each instance. The process of downloading electricity consumption data necessitates the adherence to a series of specific steps, which are outlined below. 1. From your distributor's website:  
* Identify your distributor: on the bill, look for the CUPS (Universal Supply Point Code). The CUPS usually starts with ES0021, ES0031, ES0022, etc., which indicates the distributor:
* Register or log in. - Look for the section \"My consumption\"/\"Consumption data\". Download the data in Excel (CSV) with hourly details. 2. From your supplier Some suppliers (Endesa, Iberdrola, Naturgy, etc.) also allow you to view and download your consumption: * Access their website or app. * Look for the consumption/billing section. * Download the report in PDF or Excel. Should a regulated tariff be in place (PVPC--Voluntary Price for Small Consumers), Red Electrica de Espana (REE) provides a service through which consumers may consult and download hourly electricity consumption data directly from its platform. For those residing outside of Spain who wish to download the electricity consumption data of their supply point in countries such as France, Portugal, Germany, or elsewhere, the procedure varies depending on the regulations and energy management systems of each country. In general, the management of electricity consumption data is the responsibility of the distribution network operator in each area, and in many cases, this information is accessible through designated digital platforms. In France, the entity responsible for electricity distribution is Enedis, which provides access to detailed consumption data through its online portal. To access this information, it is necessary to create an account on the Enedis Mon Compte platform, where, once registered, users can consult and download their hourly, daily or monthly consumption. In addition, consumers with Linky smart meters can obtain real-time consumption data. In Portugal, the entity responsible for distribution is E-Redes. In France, users can access their consumption history through the E-Redes Online portal. After registering and linking their contract with their Supply Point Code (SPC), they can download consumption data in different formats. It is also possible to track consumption via mobile applications provided by some retailers. In Germany, the system is characterized by a greater degree of decentralization, with each region having a different network operator. However, most consumers can obtain their consumption data via the website of their Stadtwerk (municipal electricity company) or local grid operator. To do so, they are usually required to enter the Zahlenrummer (meter number) and a contract identifier. With the introduction of smart meters, some platforms allow real-time access to consumption data. In all cases, the most straightforward method of obtaining consumption data is to access the website of the electricity distribution company that manages the grid in one's area. In the event that one is uncertain of the relevant company, it is possible to ascertain this information by referring to the electricity bill, in which the name of the responsible supply company is typically indicated. Once the operator has been identified, it is recommended that registration be completed on the online portal, following the instructions to access historical consumption data.
