We are excited to announce the release of Southern Lights v.1.2.0. This update brings both new features and key fixes to enhance your experience and improve the efficiency of your green hydrogen projects.

New Features at a glance:

• Optimization of power source inputs: You can now make any power source’s energy input match the rest of the system by running our Simulation-based optimization tool. Just click the Southern Lights logo in the ‘Scaling factor’ field to find the best energy input for your project.
• Average Sum Toggle for Graphs: To improve result visualizations, we have added the feature to toggle between average and sum views in all bar graphs. The sum view shows you yearly- and monthly sums for the full project lifetime.
• Improved Result Page: Upgraded the result page looks to show data in a more intuitive way with automatic chart axis scalings and better hover labels.

Fixes:

• Project view now displays hydrogen production per day for all designs in a project, making comparison of designs easier
• Simulations robustness improved: Introducing an automatic retry mechanism for simulations that encounter issues.
• Debt Financing Parameters defaults have been updated to match the project length, making it faster to define finance parameters in new projects.
• Fixed issues in sales results to display correct units.
