Creating investment reports

You can view and create investment reports in the Tensor Cloud reports section which is accessible from the the left-hand navigation menu.

Investment reports list​

The reports list shows you all reports that have been created in your workspace. It is structured similarly to the asset and PPA list with slightly different column contents. The reports list contains 4 columns:

  1. Report ID and report name
  2. Report scope, which shows you the number of assets and PPAs included in each report
  3. Date of creation
  4. Report author

You can click the icon to the right of a report name to star that report.

How to create a report​

Creating a new investment report is simple: Start by clicking the Create report button at the top right of the investment reports list, then select the assets and scenarios in scope for the report.

Choosing assets​

As a first step, you need to select all assets you want to include in the scope of the investment report. You will be able to select up to 1,000 assets. Contact Tensor support if you need to generate reports with more assets.

You can select assets by clicking on them in the asset list. If your workspace contains a large number of assets, you can easily refine your selection by searching for assets and adding them to your selection. Before selecting scenarios in the next step, confirm your asset selection by clicking the Show only selected assets toggle on the top right.

Choosing scenarios​

In the second step, you can select up to 4 scenarios to include in the scope of your investment report.

note

Selecting investment report scenarios will not change the default scenario that is assigned to each asset.

Time requirements​

Tensor Cloud will run a detailed techno-economic simulation for each asset under each scenario in scope of the investment report. For example, if you create an investment report with 500 assets and 4 scenarios, 2,000 simulations will run, each of which generates millions of data points, leading to billions of calculations. While our infrastructure is parallelized and extremely scalable, this process might take up to 15 minutes, depending on how many reports are currently being generated. As a general rule, the more assets and the more scenarios you include in the scope of your report, the longer you might have to wait.

tip

If you want fast results, we recommend limiting the number of scenarios in scope of your report as much as possible.
