Consolidation

Data consolidation is the aggregation of incoming data at regular intervals, for the purpose of processing, storage and analysis. Consolidation involves collecting, integrating and harmonizing multiple variables . This allows users to work with meaningful metrics adapted to the context of each project.

Note: For more information about project-specific configurations, contact your GPM representative.

The standard level of consolidation for solar PV assets is five-minute intervals. Depending on specifications of your project, it may be necessary to configure higher levels of consolidation.

The standard level of consolidation for wind plants is ten-minute intervals. Depending on specifications of your project, it may be necessary to configure higher levels of consolidation.

Consolidation methods in GPM Plus

GPM Plus collects large amounts of data every second and aggregates the average measurements for all the granularity levels, as each variables may have its own level of granularity.

It also possible to have different consolidation intervals for the same variable within the same project (for example: 1-minute intervals for weather stations and 5-minute intervals for inverters).

Note: The consolidation process uses different aggregation methods, depending on your specific needs and configuration. For more information regarding aggregation methods, contact your GPM representative.
