Definition / asset-level public lens

What is a public duty profile?

A public duty profile is the time-structured external footprint left by an asset across public grid records. It describes publicly visible participation, not the asset's internal physical condition.

Key distinction. Public duty is not total duty. Absence from one public market lens does not establish physical inactivity, unavailability, or absence from another service.

The profile is assembled from separate observational capabilities

Instruction

BOALF / accepted actions

When and how visible BM instructions were accepted, including cadence, direction, duration, and volume.

Physical trace

B1610 metering

Lagged settlement-period metered volume. It can correct a BM-absence interpretation but cannot expose sub-period dynamics.

Declared boundary

MEL / MIL

Maximum export and import limits declared to the system. Declaration is not identical to physical capability.

Intention

PN / FPN

Declared physical intention before delivery. It supports intent-to-metered comparison when timing and identity align.

Service scope

EAC and related records

Public evidence that a unit may participate outside visible BM actions. Contract scope does not establish delivery.

Disclosure and status

REMIT / REPD

Public outage disclosure and project registry context. Both can be delayed, incomplete, or identity-sensitive.

What a profile can support

Can support	Cannot support alone
Accepted-action cadence, visible volume, direction switching, quiet gaps, declared capability, metered presence, and cross-lens inconsistency.	Cell or module health, thermal burden, degradation, profitability, service quality, fault, fatigue, or causal explanation.
A targeted question about which owner-held evidence should be reviewed.	A decision on underwriting, credit, investment, warranty, dispatch, or control.
