Wind and Solar
Wind and Solar
Using this data source, the user is able to display Wind and Solar information over a selected period of time. Please note: further information about what is included for each data source is available in the Data Source matrix and in the Glossary of terms used in widgets.
The data source user settings to be selected are as follows:
Period allows you to choose between two options, Live Updates and Fixed Periods.
Selecting Live Updates displays a slider, allowing you to select your look-back period. By moving the slider along the line you can increase the look-back period by anything up to 7 days.
Selecting Fixed Periods allows you to choose a range for dates, including associated periods, for the widget. A period equals a half hour segment of the day.
Click on the displayed dates in the ‘Select periods’ line, choose dates and then periods from the calendar displayed for each of the ‘from’ and ‘to’ dates, and click 
(see below).
Once you have clicked on a date, the periods for that date will be automatically displayed - hover over the period number to display the start time of that period, see second screen shot below. Click on the period number to select that period. Click 
to close the calendar selection box.
Having selected a date and period range, your widget will display data within the date and period range that you have specified.
Having selected the appropriate user settings for the widget, the information to be displayed in the widget is then selected by navigating to the 'Display' tab on the 'Display Settings' pop-up screen.
For a widget using a data source of ‘Wind and Solar’, the list of information available for display is shown in the screen shot below (for a table widget - similar information will be available for a chart widget).
Any or all of the listed items can be displayed in the widget. See Display for more information on selecting the items for your widget.
