Loss breakdown chart

The chart breaks down the deviations between a system’s forecasted yield, the simulated yields and the actual yield. Therefore it displays the following values for the selected system:

• Forecasted yield from the Yield forecast

  • and its difference to the simulated yield without curtailments, displayed as Difference yield forecast/simulation

  • both displayed only as of Month view

• Simulated yield without curtailments, displayed as Simulation without considering active power curtailments

  • and its difference to the simulated yield with curtailments, displayed as Power control losses

• Simulated yield considering active power curtailments, displayed as Expected energy (simulation)

  • and its difference to the actual yield, displayed either as

    • Over-performance or

    • Losses

• Actual Yield

• Configure Yield forecast: Enter a value for the Specific energy yield. See also Configure yield forecast.

• Configure Simulation: Determine a Method and Target range for the simulated power. See also Simulation.

• Values for the simulated, expected yields depend on your selection of the simulation method.

• Power control losses are only displayed if an active power curtailment occurred within the selected period.

• Losses consist of:

  • Negative deviations outside of the target range of the simulated yield with curtailments

  • Losses due to technical issues specified in tickets

  • Losses due to data/communication gaps (loss extend calculated on satellite data)
