- Actual equipment condition, maintenance status, and operating settings
- Real-world load profiles and duty cycles
- Ambient temperature, altitude, and site conditions
- Fuel type, quality, and calorific value
- Battery degradation, inverter losses, and system inefficiencies
- Local fuel pricing and market fluctuations
