Which value comes from which source?

Each source delivers different values: the tables below show per value which source delivers it. From real data loggers over FTP, Alpha now only reads the Huawei SmartLogger minutes file.

Why it matters

A figure that rests on a missing value stays empty. Without irradiance there is no sensor PR, without a grid meter no measurement at the connection point. Choose the source, or an extra source, by what you need to report.

How to do it

  1. Open Assets, choose the site and choose Configure asset. The Data connections step shows which source the park uses. Open in Alpha
  2. Look up the value in the PV or battery table below.
  3. Is a value missing? Add a second source with Add connection, or read the details in the source's article.
  4. Market prices show under Revenue. Open in Alpha
