Make it possible to view Alerts in Data Studio
Users will often have to go into data studio to investigate the underlying signals behind an alert. However, it is not possible to see Alerts on the status overview the same way you can see stops, warnings, communications outages, or curtailment. This would make it much easier to analyze the Alert.

Alert schemes to include Days of the Week scheduling
Alert Schemes to include Days of the Week.
Noise Curtailment schedule need to also respect working hours. I.e the Turbines need to be curtailed Monday-Friday evening, Saturday Afternoon and Sunday full day.
This is Especially important for UK wind farms that have to protect "Amenity". (a special kind of noise curtailment for sensitive sites near neighborhoods in rural areas) Where infringement of "Amenity" must be reported on and followed up.12 votes -
Use metadata for alert conditions
I would like to use a metadata field (site and device) as an alert condition. In this case the capacity meta data field.
Anyone who has more user cases where a similar scenario applies - please add your comments!
At present, alerts can only be configured based on absolute values (e.g. MW) and not relative values (%). This means for every new site added certain alerts (e.g. grid curtailment) need to be duplicated and adjusted for the site specific absolute values. It would be easier if alert rules could be defined based on relative values and made applicable to all…

Make 'hours per category' (component) table available in Taxonomy
For availability contracts Greenbyte provides a widget called 'hours per category' in table format. This makes it very easy to copy the data into excel.
Taxonomy does not have this functionality though! We can only look at downtime per component as a pie chart.
Being able to show it in a table format and quickly copy/paste this data over to excel for further analysis and reporting (e.g. GADS reporting).

Add 'Year to date' and 'all' time selector
I feel like existing Data Studio pre-default time selectors are not enough to cover all most typical situations. I end up selecting a 'year to date' custom period very often, so it would be very good to have that in place.
Also, for verification purposes it would be nice to have an 'all time' time selector, which will take all data available since TimestampStart of the device to date.8 votes -
Proper calculation of time-base availability when data is missing
As off today, if 10-minutes data are missing for some reason (scada issue for example), then this period is just not taken into account for contractual availability calculation and for system availability calculation. This is an issue because in many case, when accessing the turbines, the maintenance technicians will shut down the communication to prevent remote restart of the turbine, and this loss of communication will also trigger wrong availability calculation.
We expect time-based availability to be based on the period duration, not the 10-min data being there or not, and during data losses, the turbine should be considered available.…8 votes -
Revenue budget
Such as we have Revenue figures in the system, they would be more meaningful if we also had the Revenue budget (such as the energy budget), which would be simply applying the same fix price per MWh to the energy budget already available in the platform

Power Curve Analyzyer- pls change colours
Power Curves
Please use colours that are more distinguished in difference. As it is now it is very hard to see difference between learned PC in light blue and Best Fit in slightly darker blue.
Neither curves nor scatter plot gets clear enough to actually see any difference! See attached picture.
Thanks & regards :-)7 votes -
In specific cases warning triggers losses calculation and impact availability. We need an option to turn OFF this logic.
Currently if there is a warning status code and the turbine shows no production during wind high enough to be operational, the turbine is automaticaly seen as faulty and availability is set to 0 for that period. The warnings status code will get losses calculated and attached.
We'd like an option to turn OFF this feature. We consider that, by definition, a warning status code should never trigger any losses calculation and never have any impact on availability figures.

Audit trail of comments in the comments section in portfolio page
Currently, we can only see one comment against the stop and it is often the latest update on the stop. To see a history of work undertaken to bring the turbine back online, it would be useful to have an audit trail of comments that can be saved somewhere in the back end. That basically means that when we use APIs to export the comments in status logs it only pulls the latest comment- like it does now but there should still be a provision to view the history of comments including user, date and time elsewhere in GEC.

Make custom section titles visible on the report outline page
When creating a report that contains several custom sections, it's difficult to know which section is which since the section titles don't update.
If I want to see what my custom section is, I need to reload the report and find it again. This is time consuming, especially for reports which take a long time to load.
If the main report outline page updated with section titles, just like the table of contents does, this would make reporting much more efficient.

Make it possible to use MERRA-2 wind data in Greenbyte
It could be used to perform resource-adjusted budget calculations.

Alerts: Allow users to manually end and/or delete alerts
We often have the case that alerts are not closed properly or are just generated for testing so manual editing is needed which only GB support can do at the moment. As alerts are user generated (by certain rules), it should be possible to edit and delete them.

Make all data readable through the API
I'd like to be able to access all data visible in GEC through the API.
For example the "potential power order" and "reference devices" from the Admin Turbine view, and data signal mappings from the Comms view.

Delete specific user from site access
When editing an open site access log, make it possible to delete a specific user log from the site access - At the moment when adding people to an open site access log, if you select the wrong person by mistake it is not possible to amend that log. Instead we currently have to set the log off time to the same as the log on time - It would be a lot more useful to be able to delete the incorrect persons details so that they do not show at all.

Add new modifiable Production-based System Availability signal
Add a new, additional availability signal called “Corrected Production-based System Availability Estimate”, that we could modify so that we could fully exclude from the availability calculation certain days for certain turbines (related to e.g. insurance cases, grid outages etc). Otherwise the availability should be an identical copy of the standard Production-based System Availability. We would need to have the possibility to later adjust the lengths of those excluded historical time periods several times, as our estimates get more accurate in time, and the availability calculation should be instantly updated accordingly. We would like to have the possibility to use the…

Task Email Notifications NEED to include a link to the task.
Notifications through email are very convenient but there needs to be a link to the task being referenced in the notiication email - there is currently a task number which makes it easier to find the task in GB but if there was just a link to the task, a reply comment or edit could be made.
At the same time - there should be a link to the monitor site page from within the View Task page - this would make it very simple to receive an email notification from a task update - click on the link to…

Add indication to overdue site/device access
When there is an overdue site/device access, this is indicated by a red balloon in the sidebar next to the "problematic" asset. However, it is not so easy to find exact record in the Site Access screen that contains overdue device access. It would be logical to indicate respective entries with the same red balloon (both in overviewing Site Access screen and inside specific access details).

Counter of status code per WTG
It will be quite interesting to see how often a certain alarm code occurs in a wind turbine.
Currently there is no counter in the status log or Data studio in order to generate an overview of number of occurances for a particular status code.9 votes
