Weekly Baseline Measuring

Why we reward you on a weekly basis:

• Accounting for Short-term Fluctuations in Electricity Usage:

  1. Day and Night Differences: There can be significant differences in a device's electricity usage between day and night. For example, the demand for air conditioning and lighting is higher during the day than at night. If we measure over shorter periods, these fluctuations could lead to unstable incentive calculations.

  2. Weekday and Weekend Differences: Electricity usage patterns also differ between weekdays and weekends. Considering only a single day's data would not accurately reflect the device's overall performance.

• Smoothing Short-term Fluctuations:

  1. Measuring on a weekly basis can smooth out short-term fluctuations, preventing abnormal situations (such as sudden power outages or device malfunctions) from overly impacting reward distribution.

  2. A week-long period allows for comprehensive consideration of different usage behaviors, making the baseline data more stable and reliable.

• Providing a Comprehensive Usage Overview:

  1. A week-long period can more fully capture the device's performance across different times and conditions, providing more accurate baseline data that reflects the device's true contribution and utility.

  2. This method also encourages device owners to maintain continuous and stable device operation, avoiding frequent connections and disconnections.
