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. Reporting

    It would be useful if there was more flexibility to manually adjust the layout of the report like the page margins and have two widgets side by side to optimise the page layout.

  2. Defining alerts based on events that last less than 10 minutes

    It is currently not possible to set up an alert with an "evaluation period" of less than 10 minutes.
    Consequently, it is not possible to generate curtailment status for events that last less than 10 minutes.
    My suggestion would be to make the definition of an "evaluation period" optional.

  3. Make it possible to manually edit the end time of a status event

    There are instances when the end time of a status event in Greenbyte is not correct.

    For example, if a turbine is stopped and loses communication with Greenbyte. The end timestamp of the stop event will often appear in Greenbyte as the same timestamp that the communication outage was fixed. In reality, the stop event code may have occurred earlier than that (Greenbyte just didn't know, since communications weren't active).

    The only fix today is for the user to contact Greenbyte support and request the change be made by them. This is inefficient and can be particularly cumbersome when working…

  4. Can't see which turbine in "Turbine status" widget that's affected

    It's very hard in the turbine status widget to see which turbine is affected by a warning or error since our naming convention starts with the project name, for example "Häjsberget" and then the turbine number.

    So, I'm wondering. Instead of seeing just "Häjsb..." for all turbines in this windfarm in the park. Could we either get the turbine number included or a possibility to remove the "ID" column in the widget and get some more space or perhaps display a turbine "nick name" or alias that we set ourselv instead?

    I'd like it to show either "Häj...14" or if…

  5. Make "Multi-year Average" widget suitable for Energy signals

    This widget currently presents averages of data. This is not suitable for Energy signals, and this would probably be one of the most useful use cases (comparing the energy from this year against other years).

    We have great new features lined up that we can’t wait to share with you. Unfortunately this request is not part of the roadmap.

  6. component in status categorization

    There is a feature in status categorization where you can assign every turbine stop to a certain component. No additional analyses can be done on these components. It is also not possible to export this tag and perform analyses that way. would it be possible to export the component tag for every stop?

    Both in Status Log and Status Categorization, I would like to filter in or out the manually-modified statuses so I can better focus on them.

  8. Alerts: tag, created by, filter options

    we see how the number of alerts we are creating is growing, and we need the interface to provide a better organization and being able to track the status. The following points will help:

    • Add field "alert created by".
    • Add a field "category": ideally with a list of several categories to be defined by the user: curtailment, bat protection, underperformance, noise, etc.
    • Add field "date of creation" and "last modified"
    • Enable filter alerts by: enabled/not enabled, created by, category, curtailment/alert, date of creation/modification, etc.

  9. Make it possible to clone/copy report templates

    Right now, if a user wants to create a report template that is similar to an existing report template, but not identical, they must create a new template from scratch. This is very time consuming. Adding the ability to clone/copy an existing report template would increase the value of Greenbyte's Reporting feature by significantly reducing the time required to create new report templates.

  10. Access to WTG Dashboards through push notifications

    When receiving a WTG stop notification and pressing it, GEC redirects automatically to the Monitor/Portfolio screen, making it nearly impossible to rapidly check the turbine status and its latest alarms if you have a big portfolio. The ideal thing would be that pressing that notification redirected the user to the Monitor/Wind Turbine screen to check the turbine status rapidly.

  11. Make it easier to share my filtered Status Categorization view with others

    The filtering capabilities within the Status Categorization are very useful. However, it's difficult to share with others what exactly you're looking at. Quite often users will have several layers of Filters applied, it's cumbersome to type out exactly which filters you have applied.

    In Dashboards and Data Studio it is really quick and easy to share what you're looking at by using the Share Link button. However, there's no quick and easy way to share your current view in Status Categorization.

    Having a way to quickly share Status Categorization views would improve the user experience.

  12. Make it possible to use a designed widget (under monitoring) to pick multiple turbines

    If i want to make a power versus wind widget, i have to make for all the turbines a separate widget. (duplicate, this takes a lot of time)
    I would like to opt as data studio that you can pick multilple turbines in a widget and than split it again.

    (or even better, just make all the option of data studio possible in monitoring )

  13. Display separately the power curves of a same turbine in the reports (and data studio)

    We would like to display separately each power curves of a curtailed turbine in the reports with the associated data. Right now, we can only display all or some power curves on the same graph. And if we do not display one power curve, the curtailed data still displayed because it seems that they are not linked to this specific power curve.

  14. Status Code lists : management and additional information

    Make the status code list used in the platform portal editable.

    Now we notice quiet some mistakes or receive updates of the status event by the OEM and always have to through support to update them. In a monitoring environment this updates can take to long to be implemented. It would be usefull to add the management of those lists to the portal including following options :

    • adding or deleting list
    • changing the name of the status list
    • adding or deleting status events
    • renaming the status codes
    • adding additional information to status code like OEM description / Operator instructions or…

  18. Export/share PREDICT incidence

    Once a Predict incidence is created, the common way to analyze it is sharing the incidence with the O&M responsible in order to allow them to check operational data of the WTG, inspect the WTG component, etc.

    It would be very useful to have the option "Export to PDF" or share a link with external companies where they can view that particular incidence.

  20. Site Access Denial/Acceptance Decision Algorithm Tool

    Problem;
    Strategically determining whether to allow turbine stoppage based on typical criteria requires an overview in terms of the WTG's monthly yield performance, upcoming critical events (e.g. overspeed test)
    e.g. Refusing machine access for planned maintenance due to profitable wind only to discover the state mandated maintenance event is already overdue is to the detriment of all parties.
    (be it on Friday for week ahead planning or upon technician's call to OCC)
