Greenbyte Ideas

Our approach to product feedback

Here at Power Factors, we take product feedback extremely seriously. We believe that listening to our customers, team members, and prospects - by taking their ideas on board - is a sure-fire way to build better products.
We use your feedback to identify the most important features, ideas, pain points, and opportunities so that you can get more value from our products as efficiently as possible.


The benefits of giving us your product feedback

If you take the time to submit your product feedback to us, it means that you have a direct say in how our products develop over time. It means that your ideas are valued and listened to, rather than filed away and ignored.
Ultimately, it allows us to work with you to build the best products we possibly can.

What happens to your product feedback

Our product teams meet regularly with the CSMs, to go through new ideas. Once we have verified that an idea isn’t already available in the system, and seems like a good idea, we change the status to Accepting Votes. Then more people can vote, prioritize, and give us information. This allows us to gauge demand, gather use cases, and establish impact & value.

If we decide to implement an idea, the status will change to Planned or In Development. When it’s done, the status will change to Delivered. Anyone who has submitted or voted on a specific request will be notified when the status of the request is updated. We will always provide an explanation as to the nature of the status update.

Unfortunately, not all requests are in line with our vision and strategy, so sometimes we reject them. When this happens, the status will be changed to Archived and we’ll add a note to let you know that it won’t be delivered.


How we choose what to implement

When we plan a release, we use many factors to help decide which suggestions to implement, including:

  • Customer feedback - there are many ways we listen for your feedback:
    formal customer interviews and other research activities
    events like conferences and trade shows
    comments and votes on issues here in Greenbyte & BluePoint Influence
  • CSM team insights - our CSM team knows which issues are the most challenging and most common for customers.
  • Product analytics - we track how users move through the system, which helps us understand how existing features are being used.
  • Product strategy - our long-term strategic vision for the products.
If you reach out directly to our support or customer success teams, they'll be able to look up the ideas for you, but they won't have any additional information or provide an estimate for when your item will be reviewed.


Custom applications

Sometimes you need functionality that is specific to your needs and not necessarily useful for other customers or in line with Power Factors strategic goals. These special requests are addressed through custom applications, which can be developed by you, using the Greenbyte API, by third-party partners, or by Power Factors for an additional fee. If you are interested in having a custom application built, contact your CSM.

  1. Include other data signals with the Status API

    When using export data, it is possible to get other datasignals during the time of a status, for example the exact windspeed, nacelle direction etc. at the moment of a status.

    This is not yet possible with API using the Status endpoint. Could this be made possible?

  2. exclude specific status from grouping

    The ability to exclude specific status messages from grouping. We have a specific status that stops the turbine, but is not the main reason if the turbine after that does not automatically start. It should be the next status as the main status. Therefore we would like the option that for a specific status, you can select to not group this status.

  3. Allow reporting in Site time, not only in Company time as is the case at the moment

    We suggest to open up the possibility to create reports in site time. Financial reporting is typically done in site time and therefore the current setup in Greenbyte generates a sync issue if the wind farm is located in another timezone than company time.

  4. Make it possible to indicate a Task or HSE Event in the Plan section is "IN PROGRESS"

    Currently, tasks and HSE events in Greenbyte can only be designated as "Unresolved" or "Resolved". Being able to indicate that a task is in progress would make it possible to monitor how quickly action is being taken and ultimately closed out.

  5. HSE incident status option in the HSE table widget

    We need the possibility to list only HSE cases of a certain status (resolved - unresolved) in the report HSE table widget. Currently it is not possible to have a table in the reports listing only the open = "unresolved" HSE cases.

  6. Expand Button - entire system

    This is a nice feature that should be in the entire system, specially for monitoring dashboards (not obvious which event is active during that moment) and data studio, otherwise you have to go to event log or status categorization to check them.

  7. Possibility to include curtailments to time-based availability calculations

    Would it possible to add a feature that in the time-based availability calculations we would be able to include curtailments in the calculations. Meaning that if a turbine is curtailed to 50% during an hour, the turbine will have availability of 50% during that hour. I assume that this is not anyhow possible at the moment?

  8. Middle voltage loss calculation (Energy Export vs. Energy Meter) in MWh or %

    When metering systems are connected to the Scada one standardized tech. KPI is to understand the middle voltage losses between WTGs and official energy metering.
    Ideally such should be calculated on kWh/MWh basis as simple delta between Sum of Energy Export (WTGs) and official Metering. Additionally the % deviation should be calculated, too.

    Further benefits:
    As Greenbyte introduced the Loss Waterfall also this calculation would benefit from the above as additional losses (depending the size of the wind farm typically 0.5 - 2.x %) could be highlighted. Additional precision for the Loss Waterfall Diagram!

  9. Issue: "General site" pre-selected when creating task during log on process

    When creating a new task during the log on process "General Site" is (hiddenly) pre-selected and not the specific turbine(s) directly. That should be changed.

  10. Set up rules for automatic data export and forwarding by mail

    Use case: I have to send twice a week 3-4 days of operational data of a certain set of WTGs to the client. Would be amazing to be able to implement a rule that runs the job in the background: data is downloaded and forwarded to an email address automatically.

  11. Trainee Personnel qualification

    Is it possible to add a "Trainee" section under personnel qualifications? There are many technicians who do not have any qualifications yet and it would be advantageous for OCC etc... to be confident on the status of the technician and know to not allow them to take control of a turbine and that only site access is allowed.

  12. conditional powercurve

    For conditional power curves it would be nice to have the following options:
    1. copy the default values to conditonal power curve for editing, that saves time entering the values manually.
    2. it would be nice to add a condition: to be able to give a start date + time and end date + time. Currently if curtailment starts at 10:00 at day 1 and ends at 16:00 at day 5 it requires you to manually enter the conditional power curve 3 times!

  13. Need a new qualification added on Breeze

    Is it possible to add ‘Competent Person (CP)’ in the dropdown box on Breeze when adding in a qualification after completion of a site induction.

    A CP has more limitations on the tasks they can carry out on the HV/LV system than AP and SAP. A CP id not the same as a CT.

  14. Create a specific degradation factor for the first year

    The solar panels manufacturers commonly warranty a different degradation factor for the first year than for the following ones (see example attached: a 3% degradation is expected for the first year, then a 0.706% factor for year 2 to 25).
    Could you create a separate degradation factor for the first year of operations?

  15. Order by device number not Power

    Have the option to when hovering over a data table the data displayed is in the device number order, not highest value (power, current)

    e.g. when looking power produced by each Inverter module for inverter 1 be ordered 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 etc not in the order in which they are producing the most power

  20. Hide "Devices (opt)" during site access at sites with selected WTSR rules

    For sites with selected WTSR rules, the option to choose a device during site access should be hidden. Selecting a device should only be possible at the next step by choosing qualified personell.
