Battery control

Select battery control and enter the associated value.

Battery discharge as of grid demand of (W)

The battery is only used to cover home consumption if the PV power is not sufficient and the grid demand is greater than the set power. (Default value 50 W).

Example: If a value of 200 W is set, the battery can only be released to cover the home consumption when the measured grid demand from the public grid exceeds 200 W. The battery is blocked again for home consumption when the grid demand falls 50 W below the set value (in this example 150 W).

Coverage of home consumption as of (W)

Home consumption is only covered from the PV power and battery available when the set value is exceeded. Below the set value, the battery is fully charged from the PV power available. (Default value 50 W).

Example: If a value of 200 W is set, the home consumption is only covered from the PV power and battery available if the measured home consumption exceeds 200 W. The inverter is blocked again for home consumption when consumption falls 50 W below the set value (in this example 150 W).

Activate smart battery control

The smart battery control recognises and takes account of the times when the household uses the most energy. The system uses this information to make forecasts about how home consumption will change in the future and controls charging/discharging of the battery accordingly.

The smart battery control should only be activated when curtailment has been activated in the inverter (e.g. a power limitation to 60%). Means that the PV power connected to the inverter must be greater than the power that the inverter is feeding into the grid.

In order to be able to activate Smart battery control, battery usage must not be configured via Time-controlled battery usage or Dynamic electricity tariff.

The Storage of excess AC energy from local generation function cannot be activated at the same time.

Activated: The function is activated.

Deactivated: The function is deactivated.

You will find more information under Smart battery control.

Storage of excess AC energy from local generation

If there is an additional AC energy source in the local house grid (e.g. an additional PV system or a combined heat and power unit), the AC energy generated can be stored in a battery connected to the PLENTICORE plus.

NOTE! The function can only be activated if the energy meter has been installed at the grid connection point (position 2).

Activated: The AC energy generated can be stored in the battery.

Deactivated: Extra generated AC energy is not stored in the battery.

Battery charging as of grid surplus of [W]

Enter a minimum grid surplus value as of which the battery is charged. (Default 50 W.)

Example: If a value of 50 W is set, the battery is charged when feed-in into the public grid (grid surplus) is more than 50 W. Charging to the battery is blocked if the value is below 50 W.
