Welcome to our latest Sennen Spotlight where we will be giving a glimpse into some of the ideas we have as we continue to develop our Asset Portfolio Management product. It has been designed with renewable energy asset managers in mind, allowing them to gather all portfolio information in one place across unlimited geographies, technologies, funds, joint ventures and currencies.
As a team, we’re always looking at ways to make the system work even harder for our clients. We have regular feedback sessions and we use these to plan updates and upgrades that will make the system even more powerful for asset managers.
Over the next four weeks, we’ll take you through some of the ideas on our radar that we are currently exploring.
COVERED THIS MONTH
We want to make the process of adding data to the Sennen system even easier, with an initial focus on contracts data. Users would be able to complete a template for contracts data offline and seamlessly upload it to Sennen. It would also allow users to perform bulk uploads based on specific contract types.
This would greatly simplify data management. It would also extend to offline data extraction, enabling users to work offline and upload the data to Sennen at a later point, which adds a layer of flexibility.
There are many potential further use cases for this upgrade. Looking ahead, we plan to extend this to events and cases information in the future, among other areas of the platform.
This upgrade is designed to ensure that contract data management, particularly initial onboarding of information for a new portfolio, is simple – and will allow asset managers to focus time and energy on adding value to the portfolio

This upgrade would enable detailed tracking of historical and current ownership of renewable energy assets so that users get a clear and traceable view of ownership percentages and hierarchy, with an ownership breakdown and holdings list.
It would offer detailed tracking of ownership percentages and changes over time alongside the ability to view KPIs through the lens of actual ownership percentages. The user interface would present ownership data in visually appealing graphs and offer a deeper analysis and understanding of ownership dynamics.
Storing and presenting ownership data will allow asset managers to easily make changes to company ownership directly in the user interface, and therefore get a current and accurate view of KPI data by fund or company with the percentage ownership applied.

This upgrade will provide new functionality for users to create events directly on device timelines, this will facilitate deeper insights into lost production resulting from turbine or solar downtime.
Users will gain the ability to efficiently generate events for individual or multiple devices, allowing them to define event properties and timeframes directly on the event timeline interface. This feature empowers users to quickly pinpoint and record significant occurrences, enhancing real-time data.
This enhancement will aim to improve how production events of wind and solar devices are created in the system. It will allow personnel to specifically pinpoint performance outages by creating events themselves, without relying on data integrations.

At Sennen, we pride ourselves on our easy-to-use and intuitive interface and we’re always looking at ways to improve the user experience. This update would infuse the landing page with key information and engaging graphics. It would also give quick access to vital information so it is readily available at a glance. The landing page would also serve as a dynamic display screen, suitable for presentations to senior colleagues and stakeholders so that our system can facilitate more effective communication.
There’s no point buying new software that doesn’t get used. That’s why a brilliant user experience is at the heart of Sennen and we know that teams like using our system. Making the interface as engaging and appealing as possible is a crucial part of our work.
