How to upload a revenue profile for energy selling to RatedPower

Do you want to upload a revenue profile for the energy selling to RatedPower? Are you looking for higher precision assessment of your pv plant incomes? Perhaps a PPA or variable selling price throughout its lifetime?

Step-by-step guide 

Financial wise, RatedPower offers four different choices to the user for defining the energy selling profile of their pv plant.

By default, all simulations will be using a fixed revenue price for the energy selling with a generic value as well as a generic escalation factor. 

Alternatively, users can also upload a variable revenue profile for a much precise analysis by following this steps:

  1. In the Financial tab, under the "Revenue" section, click on the option where it reads "Variable price":
  2. When clicking on "Upload Energy Prices",  the following window will pop up. 

  3. To view all available price models, click on "Prices models" drop-down menu:

  4. Select, among the three variable price options, the revenue profile model of your preference for your financial analysis:
    1. 12 months x 24 hours: hourly prices of a representative day of each month.
    2. 8760 hours: hourly prices for the first year.
    3. 8760 hours x 50 years: hourly prices for the entire pv plant lifetime.
  5. Finally, once the revenue profile has been selected, use the corresponding template and upload it in CSV format. If you wish, you can also define a year-on-year scaling factor. 

Here you can download all different variable revenue profiles templates:  12 months x 24 hours | 8760 hours | 8760 hours x 50 years

You will just need to only fill in prices columns with your desired values , saved the file as CSV format and upload it to RatedPower by selecting the corresponding option in the drop-down list.

Once you have your variable revenue profile uploaded, by clicking on ‘Show more/less’ you will see all the different revenue profiles that were previously uploaded to this design. 

Finally, clicking on ‘show details’ will expand the card where the user can see more detailed information about pricing.

  • Maximum: First year maximum energy selling price.
  • Minimum: First year minimum energy selling price.
  • Average: First year average energy selling price.
  • Spread (First year average daily spread): The first year average of the differences between the maximum and minimum daily prices.
