- | Use this Assistant in systems | + | ===== 1. When to use ===== |
+ | Use this Assistant in Off-grid | ||
- | When the system is in inverter mode, this Assistant controls the output power of the grid-tie inverter by changing the AC output frequency of the system. A mechanism commonly refered to as Frequency Shifting. It does so to regulate the charge process: limiting the output power of the Grid-tie inverter to proper manage the charge and also prevent overcharge of the batteries. | + | Compatible with Multis, Quattros as well as Inverters that have a VE.Bus connection. |
+ | |||
+ | Also use this Assistant for systems connected to the grid, that for a particular reason are not setup as ESS and therefor not using the ESS Assistant. Usually all mains-connected systems do need the ESS Assistant, and in that case do not also install the PV Inverter Assistant as well. | ||

+ | ==== Q1 - The system is locked to 53 Hz and does not resume ==== | ||
+ | Its locked to the upper limit because of a battery over voltage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The frequency will reset itself automatically, | ||
+ | - the battery voltage drops below the re-bulk voltage threshold: the voltage that makes the system restart the charge cycle. For lithium batteries this threshold is defined as the float voltage minus 0.8V. Note that when float is configured to 54.8 volts or higher, then the battery voltage needs to drop below 54V. For lead batteries, the re-bulk voltage is defined as 5.2V below the configured float voltage. Unless that is configured to 56.8V or higher: then the battery voltage needs to drop below 51.6V. | ||
+ | - the system is connected to mains or generator power. As soon as it sees a voltage on AC-in, it will sync the AC frequency to 50Hz and then connect. | ||

+ | |||
+ | To prevent this from happening again, check your configured absorption voltage: setting it lower will prevent the overvoltage condition from happening again. | ||
