gedetailleerde informatie over stroomverbruik

de term "granularity / granular" wordt vaak gebruikt om de mate van detaillering van een systeem aan te duiden. zoals ook blijkt uit het interessante Wikipedia-stukje hieronder, kan "granular" zowel grof als fijn betekenen, afhankelijk van de context. in dit geval kun je veilig aannemen dat de verzamelde informatie gedetailleerd (fijnmazig) is.

Granularity is the extent to which a system is broken down into small parts, either the system itself or its description or observation. It is the "extent to which a larger entity is subdivided. For example, a yard broken into inches has finer granularity than a yard broken into feet."
...
The terms granularity', coarse and fine are relative, used when comparing systems or descriptions of systems. An example of increasingly fine granularity: a list of nations in the United Nations, a list of all states/provinces in those nations, a list of all counties in those states, etc.

The terms "fine" and "coarse" are used consistently across fields, but the term "granularity" itself is not. For example, in investing, "more granularity" refers to more positions of smaller size, while photographic film that is "more granular" has fewer and larger chemical "grains".
