Storage

Renewable energy plants must store data at different levels of consolidation for specific periods of time. The specific configurations for storage depend on several factors affecting each project, including the quality and availability of servers, and contractual and regulatory obligations.

The minimum thresholds are defined by contractual and regulatory obligations for the purpose of accountability. These are usually standards defined by the industry and grid regulators.

Maximum thresholds depend on the capacities of each plant's hardware and communications infrastructure, relative to the size and scope of the project.

Standard: 1-second data stored for 3 days. 5-minute data stored for 3 years. (Dpending on servers)
