For example, say one has a target of 100MW that must be met by a combination of five solar PV plants, seven wind turbines, two biogas plants and a biomass plant. If the solar irradiation suddenly falls and the total output decreases from 102MW to 95MW, one may configure the Green Energy Portal to instantly modify the setpoint on the burners in the biogas plant to increase the total output from 95MW to 100MW.
In conclusion, the Green Energy Portal plays a crucial role in optimizing the profit from a solar PV installation on two fronts: reducing the cost of production and increasing revenue. It would clearly benefit the owners and investors of solar PV installations not only to install the Green Energy Portal, but also to learn how to use it to maximum effect.
