Because the installed capacity of each technology is different, we employ a “normalization” factor that adjusts each technology type to a common capacity that allows a valid comparison of efficiencies and output by type. Read more about our normalization formula.
If the generation output stays at the exact same level for a significant part of the day, this may indicate a "quality of data" issue.
