# Core Real-Time Data

### **Overview**

The *Core Real-Time Data* is a Certified Product Point Template for [Energy Storage Sites](/product/docs/energy-storage-site) that defines required normalized real-time performance calculations that scale, or transform several of the points in the [*Core Real-Time Data (PCS)*](/product/docs/power-conversion-system-pcs). These points are required for the Bazefield installation to function properly across all core applications.

These calculations specifically translate OEM-specific signals into consistent indicators of operational state, availability, communication status, and event conditions. By abstracting vendor-specific complexities, the *Core Real-Time Data* enables unified fleet monitoring, reduces configuration overhead, and supports consistent reporting and alarm management across heterogeneous [energy storage sites](/product/docs/energy-storage-site) technologies.

The Core Real-Time Data template defines 7 data streams for Energy Storage Sites. These include meter-derived aggregations of site-level power and grid measurements, as well as setpoint and budget inputs.

### **Template Definition**

The *Core Real-Time Data* is defined below. Calculations are one of the following types:

- **Scale Equations** — Algebraic or logical manipulations of input data done on the [Bazefield edge buffer](/product/docs/edge-buffer)
- **Online Expressions** — Algebraic or logical manipulations of input data done on the central Bazefield data engines (typically on a [storage node](/product/docs/storage-node)). Similar to scale equations in purpose, but done in the centralized architecture.
- **Interval Expressions** — Algebraic, logical, or advanced manipulations of input data done within a pre-defined aggregation interval (e.g. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 1 hour, etc). These are typically done centrally on a [storage node](/product/docs/storage-node).

Details on the Point Names, Descriptions, and Types are below.

Optional for common additional data streams/sources
