Overview
The Inverter Planned Events is a Certified Product Event Template for Inverters that defines standard expected events that occur during inverter operation, which can be planned for, including maintenance and inspection. This template allows for automatic event creation, and contributes to accurate performance and availability analyses across your portfolio. Inverter Planned Events are not required for Core Bazefield functionality, but can be useful for more detailed carveouts and reports.
This event template provides a set of standard maintenance and inspection events that may be planned in advance for any single inverter or multiple inverters. The purpose is to:
Ensure consistent naming and normalization of planned events on all makes and models of inverters
Support cross-site and cross-technology data normalization
Allow for automatic Event creation with use in the Availability Planner.
