## Metrics
200200

201201
All metrics related to power, energy, current, etc. use the [PSC](#psc) to determine the sign of the value.

### Consumption
204+
205+
The amount of electricity flowing into a [component](#component). It is the clipped positive value when using the [PSC](#psc), so if the electricity is flowing out of the component instead, this will be zero.
206+
202207
### Gross Consumption
203208

204-
Consumption before accounting for any local generation from [solar](#solar-panel), [wind](#wind-turbine) or [CHP](#chp-plant).

### Net Consumption
207212

208-
This term traditionally refers to the difference between the [gross consumption](#gross-consumption) and the local generation (like [PV](#pv) production). It is the electricity consumption that needs to be provided by the [battery](#battery) or from the public [grid](#grid).

212217

### Production
220+
221+
The amount of electricity flowing out of a [component](#component). It is the clipped negative value when using the [PSC](#psc), so if the electricity is flowing into the component instead, this will be zero.

### Residual Consumption
215224

216225
In [microgrid](#microgrid) context sometimes used as the remaining difference between the [net consumption](#net-consumption) and the [battery](#battery) power, i.e. what we define as [grid power](#grid_power).
