Time Summarized Metric Table Widget Documentation

Introduction

Description

The Time Summarized Metric Table Widget is a tabular visualization tool used to display aggregated point values and availability statistics across defined time intervals. It enables users to analyze performance trends, operational efficiency, and financial metrics over time, making it especially valuable for generating structured reports and summaries.

Purpose

This widget helps renewable energy professionals monitor and compare asset performance across time periods—such as daily, weekly, or monthly intervals. It is ideal for producing financial summaries, availability reports, and operational reviews across Solar, Wind, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Target Audience

• Business Users: Finance teams, asset managers, and operations leads who need time-based summaries for reporting and decision-making.

• Technical Users: Engineers, analysts, and dashboard/report designers configuring performance tables and availability metrics.

Key Features & Use Cases

1. Time-Based Aggregation

Displays metrics aggregated over configurable time intervals (e.g., hourly, daily, monthly).

Use Case – Solar Financial Report
A monthly report shows total energy generated per day across all solar arrays, helping finance teams calculate revenue and identify production gaps.

2. Availability Statistics

Includes calculated availability metrics such as uptime percentages or fault-free hours.

Use Case – Wind Farm Operations Review
A dashboard table shows daily availability for each turbine, allowing operations managers to track reliability and plan maintenance.

3. Multi-Metric Support

Supports multiple metrics per asset, such as energy output, fault count, and temperature.

Use Case – BESS Performance Summary
A report displays daily discharge energy, average temperature, and fault count for each battery unit, helping analysts assess operational health.

4. Time Interval Customization

Users can define the time granularity to suit reporting needs—daily, weekly, monthly, or custom ranges.

Use Case – Quarterly Portfolio Review
A report summarizes monthly energy output and availability across all sites, supporting executive-level performance evaluation.

Data Types Used

The Time Summarized Metric Table Widget supports a variety of renewable energy data types, including:

• Aggregated Power Output – Total or average energy generated per time interval.

• Availability Metrics – Uptime percentages, faulted hours, or operational status flags.

• Environmental Data – Average temperature, wind speed, or irradiance over time.

• Fault Statistics – Count of alarms or events per interval.

• Financial Metrics – Revenue estimates, cost of downtime, or performance-based incentives.

These data types can be sourced from SCADA systems, data warehouses, or calculated within the BI App.

Widget Use in BI App Types

Use in Dashboards

In dashboards, the Time Summarized Metric Table Widget provides real-time and recent historical summaries for quick operational insights. It helps users monitor trends and compare performance across assets and time intervals.

Example – Solar Operations Dashboard
A dashboard displays daily energy output and availability for each inverter over the past 7 days. This allows operations teams to detect performance drops and respond proactively.

Use in Reports

In reports, the widget supports structured time-based summaries for financial and operational analysis. It is ideal for generating recurring reports that track KPIs over time.

Example – Monthly Wind Farm Report
A report includes a table showing daily energy output and fault count for each turbine. This helps asset managers evaluate reliability and prepare documentation for stakeholders.
