Compare measurements regardless of the timestamp

Viewed 24

I have a dataset like this:

Timestamp GeneratorPower1 GeneratorPower2 GeneratorPower3
2022-06-30 23:40 NaN NaN NaN
2022-06-30 23:50 NaN 7,61 NaN
2022-07-01 00:00 13,79 11,54 NaN
2022-07-01 00:10 14,58 13,67 NaN
... ... ... ...
2022-07-01 10:30 32,98 29,77 43,28

My aim is to compare the development of generator power in a graph to see which has the best performance over time since the installation. Currently they depend on the timestamp of every measurement/observation, but as I installed them on different days I won't get the graph I want by plotting just the Power column with the timestamp.

My first idea was to create extra columns like "Days since installation of Generator X" where I can count the days starting with the first measurement of each generator, which seems also a bit complicated.

Does anyone know a better or more elegant way to solve this problem? I would be happy for every food for my thoughts or a link to a very similar topic (I didn't find anything helpful), thank you!
