[FEATURE REQUEST] Fossil Fuels/Renewables when renewable supply is over 100%

Open Budgiebrain994 opened this issue 6 months ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When the fossil fuels sensor goes above 100%, the card wraps the value back to 0% and shows the remaining percentage. For example, if the sensor value is 125% and we are consuming 1kW of electricity, the card assumes a value of 25% for the sensor and shows 250W of renewable power, when it's actually the full supply being provided by renewable electricity.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to see the card show the actual percentage value, and if that value is over 100%, show (perhaps in the secondary value) the total power being supplied into the grid as being renewable.

Describe alternatives you've considered I have tried setting the secondary info to show the raw value of the renewables sensor, which correctly shows the percentage, but it doesn't solve the problem of incorrectly showing the state of renewables in the grid.

Additional context For each state in Australia, the National Energy Market Operator provides a percentage base on the current renewable energy supply compared to the current power demand. In some cases, the renewable supply is well beyond the demand in a particular state, so that power is exported to other states. As such, the percentage displayed is over 100%.

Thanks for your consideration.
