Configure data inputs
Data inputs feed into the production models of Mangrove, driving the calculations that are fundamental to the calculation of each project’s production.
You can view the ongoing data collected within a project in the Data Inputs
section of the project.
Types of Data Inputs
There are three primary types of data inputs in Mangrove:
- Events: Events are inputs that occur with high frequency. They represent data that is dynamic and regularly changing from batch to batch in a project. Examples:
Electricity Used
,Biochar Produced
,CO2 Injected
- Static Inputs: Static inputs are data points that remain constant over an extended period. They are used for the calculations across multiple production batches within a project. Example:
% of Facility Electricity Usage Related to Carbon Production
- Resource Library Inputs: Resource library inputs are a variant of static input, drawn from Resource Libraries available in Mangrove. These Resource Libraries are sourced from scientific databases and provide shared variables that are used in production and quantification model calculations. Examples:
Global Warming Potentials of greenhouse gases
Configuring Event Types
Events Types have to first be configured for the Project, before you can collected data for them.
- Configuring Event Type: Add or modify ongoing types of events that can be collected per project. This can be done in the
Data Inputs > Input Settings
section of each Project.
Configuring Static Inputs
-
Add or adjust the values of static inputs. This can be done in the
Data Inputs > Static Inputs
section of each Project. -
Ensure Static Inputs are used in the accounting dataflow
In order for inputs to be considered in model calculations, the production models in a project need to be configured to look for data from these inputs. Please reach out to Mangrove Systems if you need help configuring your model.
