Asset view
The Asset view provides access to key information associated with an individual asset. Available information is split into three main sections: Project, Simulation, and Operations.
Project
The Asset Project page comprises three collapsible sections: Overview, Technical Specifications, and CAPEX, each containing key information presented in cards. This data is static and unaffected by simulation results, offering a consistent reference point.
Overview
Location card
This card shows you location information about your asset. On the left side, you can access the location Name, along with the latitude and longitude of your asset. Clicking on these will open the asset location on Google Maps in a new browser tab.
Beneath the location name, the TSO name and location ID are shown.
Additionally, a link to the hazard map provided by Disaportal is available, offering a tool for assessing disaster risks around your asset.
On the right side of the Location Card, an interactive map window displays a marker at the asset's position. The top-left button allows you to toggle between satellite and regular map views, while the top-right button maximizes the map for enhanced visibility.
Connections card
This card encompasses all the links between your asset and other entities on the Tensor Cloud, specifically Balancing groups, PPAs, and SPVs.
PPA card
For assets operating under a PPA, this card displays vital contract terms, including the contract duration and pricing scheme.
Subsidy card
If your asset operates under FIT or FIP, you can find information about the subsidy scheme and rate on this card.
Timeline card
This card shows lifecycle events from COD to decommissioning. It provides a clear overview of the relationship and overlap between asset lifetime, Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) term length, and subsidy start/end dates. Tensor Cloud acknowledges the METI-prescribed 3-year grace period between the subsidy start date and COD. Therefore, any COD exceeding 3 calendar years after the subsidy start date may shorten the overall subsidy period, potentially impacting the Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Additionally, if the asset includes a battery, the card presents details such as battery COD and end of warranty alongside other relevant information.
Technical specifications
Solar capacity card
This card displays the AC and DC capacity of your solar PV array.
Solar system card
This card provides information on the type of panels and inverter used in the solar PV system, along with the system's lifetime.
Solar Topology card
Solar panel tilt and azimuth are displayed on this card.
Battery specifications card
If your asset includes a battery, this card presents technical specifications, including energy and power capacity, total number of life cycles, and warranty duration in years.
CAPEX
CAPEX payments card
The payment card shows you an itemized list of all CAPEX payments registered in the asset settings and is scrollable in case an asset has many CAPEX payments.
Cumulative CAPEX chart
This chart shows you the cumulative amount of CAPEX at each payment date so you can better understand total CAPEX payments at each stage of the asset development lifecycle. If today's date lies within the range of CAPEX payments, you will see an indicator in the Cumulative CAPEX chart showing you cumulative payments until today.
CAPEX breakdown chart
When registering CAPEX payments, they can be sorted into categories. The CAPEX breakdown chart uses this data together with the payment amounts and visualizes how CAPEX breaks down across individual items and payment categories. You can optionally group items by category.
Simulation
The simulation page displays the results of simulations. It is organized into four collapsible sections.
Tensor Cloud automatically identifies changes in assets, PPAs, and Scenarios, automatically triggering simulations. If you encounter unexpected results or have any issues, use the "Get support" button at the top right of the Tensor Cloud UIl.
Simulation overview
This section shows you key simulation results across several categories of KPIs.
The first card shows energy sold, which is the total amount of electricity passing through the site meter of the asset over its lifetime, and the amount of curtailed electricity.
Curtailment is electricity not produced and is determined by the curtailment assumptions in the scenario settings.
The financial results card shows you a breakdown of revenues by source as well as pre-tax un-levered project IRR. For reference, the number of 0.01 JPY slots on the day-ahead market is shown as well.
If the asset has a battery, Tensor Cloud will show a battery card, where you can find key stats on battery simulation, including number of cycles, total discharge, avoided curtailment, total incremental battery revenues and resulting battery IRR. The battery IRR is derived from the incremental gains created by the battery system and the incremental CAPEX required to install the battery. Note that you will have to add CAPEX payments related to the battery in the asset settings for the battery IRR to be calculated.
If the asset has both FIT and FIP revenues, the FIP transition card will be displayed. It shows you absolute and percentage revenue increases or decreases of FIP vs FIT.
Electricity generation
Electricity generation and curtailment chart
This chart shows you the electricity generated by the asset as well as the amount of electricity curtailed. Data is summarized from the original 30-minute granularity into yearly and monthly resolutions over the system lifetime.
Solar yield card
This card shows you first year solar yield and how that yield value breaks down over each month as an easy shorthand for estimating system performance. Annual degradation after year 1 can be set in the asset settings.
Losses breakdown chart
To visually understand how the loss Settings influence system performance, this chart shows you a waterfall breakdown of each loss factor's contribution.
OPEX
OPEX chart
This chart and spreadsheet show you all OPEX over the lifetime of the asset. The chart data is derived from a simulation at 30-minute resolution but displayed in monthly and yearly sums. In the chart options at the top right, you can switch chart and spreadsheet resolution, and exclude specific OPEX items from being shown. You can download the data in CSV format by clicking the download button in the top right corner of the chart.
OPEX breakdown chart
For analysis and benchmarking purposes, the OPEX breakdown chart can be used to quickly gauge the balance of OPEX cost items over the whole system lifetime. Just like in the OPEX lifetime chart, the order of cost items is fixed, allowing for easy visual comparison between assets.
Revenues
Revenues chart
The revenues chart shows you a breakdown of all revenue sources over the lifetime of the asset. Data is split into market, FIP, FIT, and PPA revenues. The chart options on the top right allow you to switch between monthly and annual resolution and exclude specific revenue sources from being shown. Additionally, you can download the data in CSV format by clicking the download button.
Net cash flow
Net cash flow chart
The net cash flow chart combines generation, costs, and revenues into one view, showing you a simplified P/L statement for your asset. You can switch between monthly and annual resolution and exclude specific items from being shown. You can also download the data in CSV format by clicking the download button.
