Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): writeaway, Bryan Crumpler, freekfluweel

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

Emma Rault (X) (asker) May 16, 2017:
I'm completely stuck on this. It seems to mean costs that are specific to the type of technology being used (for example, wind energy). I could just translate it literally, but it sounds very odd to me, not self-explanatory at all.
writeaway May 16, 2017:
what do you have so far? what has your own research shown?

Onbalans and profiel are explained here (page 4):

"Wind power profile" is commonly used to describe how wind power varies throughout the year, see http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy12osti/53637.pdf.
Example sentence:

... en grote gelijktijdigheid van aanbod van windenergie op de elektriciteitsmarkt (profiel)

2009 average hourly wind power profiles by month from Lake Benton
