Perplexity

Monitor real-time energy generation

Pull live performance metrics for specific power stations by referencing their facility codes with `get_facility_data`. You see exactly how much power Eraring or Bungala Solar is pushing to the grid without ever leaving your chat window. This gives you an immediate look at generation trends. It saves you from digging through government spreadsheets just to get a current output number.

Analyze national energy market trends

Run `get_network_data` to aggregate power, demand, and generation stats over specific time windows like 5m or 1h intervals. You get hard numbers on the Australian grid status to inform your energy analysis models. Compare this against `get_renewable_proportion` to track the shift away from fossil fuels. It keeps your AI client grounded in current market reality.

Track facility emissions and pollutants

Fetch precise pollution data reported to the National Pollutant Inventory using `get_pollution_data`. You can filter by facility or specific pollutant type to understand the environmental impact of individual energy sites. Cross-reference these figures with `get_network_by_fueltech` to build a complete picture of the energy mix. It turns raw NPI data into actionable insights for your research.
