This product displays hourly power output forecast data from various models in tabular form. These tables include absolute values and deltas with the option to compare between different model or model runs, in effect providing tabular data from the Wind/Solar and Wind/Solar Delta products.
Significant deltas are highlighted in green (increase) or red (decrease). The tables display wind, solar or a combination of both, as well as including an average temperature for the selected country as a proxy for demand.
There are two products available of this type on Trading Weather: one with table for one country (Power Tables Single) and one with two tables (Power Tables) for viewing two countries (or generation areas) simultaneously.
Within the panel, the user can select the area/country to display in each of the two tables. First select a graph using the relevant button in the toolbar (see section 4), then select the required country.
A. Area selected for left table (highlighted green)
B. Area selected for right table (highlighted red)
C. Area unselected
The matrix system is how users select the source of data for each of the tables. There are two matrices so that a comparison between two models or model runs can be made. The delta is calculated as the Matrix i Selection minus the Matrix ii Selection. If the matrices have the same selection, the delta will be shown as zero for all data values.

B. Unavailable model run
