Solar PV plants convert solar energy to electricity. While operating, a large amount of data is created in the form of time series. The electrical variables describing the behavior of plants is directly influenced by the environmental variables. The electricity generated by these plants is either self-consumed or transported and distributed to the consumption points by the power grid and traded in the energy markets. In order to create services for our clients, we need to take advantage of all the data stream of the PV and electricity stakeholders and do a good usage of this data.
