Processing and data storage in DB

Information from meters is stored on the server through rsync on a copy of the measure files. This information has the following properties:

• may contains errors
• may be inconsistent: some minutes does not exist or be repeated
• contains raw values, there are only direct measures
• its access and use are tedious

For this reasons, some R scripts have been developed that perform the following actions:

• clean errors and process them
• ensure consistency by creating a continuous time reference
• prepare the desired raw values to be stored and process new information from these raw values
• store this information in a MySQL DB
