how points are calculated

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are often represented as kilowatt-peak (kWp) which is the rate at which they generate energy at peak performance, such as when the radiance is the highest on a sunny afternoon. When a solar power plant is operating, it will convert the sun's radiance into electrical energy, which is measured in in kilowatt-hours (kWh). For example, a PV system with a 1,000 kWp (or 1MWp) which operates at maximum capacity for one hour will produce 1,000 KWh. Over the course of the day in operation, the amount of energy produced will create a bell-shaped production curve as the amount of radiance increases and decreases from sunrise to sunset.The energy output of an identical solar PV system can vary on a daily basis, however, depending on multiple environmental factors, such as daily temperature, humidity, and even the amount shading covering the solar panels.
Thus, considering how energy output of solar PV systems are measured, and due to the fluctuations created by multiple mechanical and environmental factors, each solar power plant can show different outputs (measured in hours) everyday, regardless of its actual max capacity (measured in kWp).
For simulation purposes, solar output for assets in redi dr are converted from hours to points. When daily power outputs are announced, basic points are awarded to each power plant by its rank among the ten digital assets, with the highest producing solar asset being awarded with the maximum points that day.
| rank | points | rank | points |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | 20 | 6 | 10 |
2 | 18 | 7 | 8 |
3 | 16 | 8 | 6 |
4 | 14 | 9 | 4 |
5 | 12 | 10 | 1 |
11-15 | 0 |
In redi dr, you have the chance to boost points of your selected solar asset, by applying a combination of items in your inventory
| type | Effect value | duration (days) | max (/day) | max (/round) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
weeding | 0.10 | 1 | 1 | 7 |
cleaning | 0.15 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
coating | 0.25 | 3 | 1 | 2 |
optimizing | 0.30 | 5 | 1 | 1 |
when multiple items of different kinds are applied to the solar asset, the boost effect can be multiplied on the corresponding daily points tally:
1) net effect value
net effect value = (item a + item b…)
ex. weeding (0.1) + cleaning (0.15) =(0.10 + 0.15)= 0.25
2) net points
points (daily) = gen_point * (1 + net effect_value)
ex. gen_point (20) * net effect_value (0.7) = 20 * (1 + 0.7) = 34
⚠️ Caution
Maximum of three (3) items can be in effect each day
Items applied will lose its effect at end of each round (including items with remaining days in effect)
The items selected will impact the daily generation point (gen. points) on the day which the item is applied
The effect value and item usage criteria may change without prior notice
