RELEASE 11.06.0 - PlantPredict

June 22nd, 2023 Introducing Design Pro Terabase recently made the decision to rename the Terabase Development Platform to be Design Pro. The name change aligns this product with our other PlantPredict Pro Tools, and we thought it better reflects the intention of the product. This is now reflected in our left hand navigation bar.

New Satellite Map View in PlantPredict Map Builder We recently replaced our Terrain View with the USGS Topographical map, and today we replaced the Google Satellite map view with a different data provider’s map view. This change will save Terabase some money, and it will address some technical issues that certain users were recently having related to the Google Map API we were using. We expect this to be an improvement for our users, but if you run into any problems, please contact us at support@terabase.energy so that we are aware. Circumsolar Treatment is now available as a Company Level Default We recently rolled out the ability for our users to control whetherCircumsolar irradiance is handled as part of the Direct or Diffuse irradiance, and now if you are a Business, Pro or Enterprise subscriber, you can have your Company Admin define your company level default handling of Circumsolar irradiance. Go to the Company Admin screen and select the Edit Defaults button. Go to the Simulation Defaults tab and you will find the Circumsolar Treatment default.

Terawatt Solar has arrived! We have PlantPredict customers that are modeling power plants that are multi-terawatt in scale. We had a few fields in PlantPredict that had validation logic which prevented users from modeling power plants greater than 2 Terawatts. We have increased the validation limitation to 100 Terawatts (100,000,000 MWac) for Power Plant Output Limit and Energy Storage System Nameplate Capacity.

Block Builder now supports more than 99 Blocks We have also increased the number of blocks that PlantPredict supports from 99 to 199. There were Design Pro scenarios that were failing because they had more than 99 individual parcels (which get modeled as individual blocks). This is rare, but it has happened. So, we have increased the number of blocks that PlantPredict can support to resolve this error. Electrical Loss % has been renamed to Shading Electrical Effect % To more accurately represent the Energy Loss Factor resulting for Shading, we renamed the Electrical Loss % loss factor to be Shading Electrical Effect %. This has been updated in the Results Summary page and all the downloadable reports.

BUG FIXES Project Library Voltage Pro Filter was showing All Voltage Pro Projects even though I was filtering to see only My Voltage Pro Projects - This has been fixed When Predict Status Company Level Default is set to Draft-Shared, cloning a prediction should result in a Draft-Shared Prediction - This now works as expected.
