Safety during Operation

Operation failure of the PV power plant due to incorrectly set parameters
If the parameter settings for grid management services are incorrect, the PV power plant may not be able to meet
the requirements of the grid operator. This can involve yield losses and the inverter may have to be disconnected by
the grid operator.
• When setting the modes of grid management services, ensure that the control procedures agreed with the grid
operator are parameterized.
• If the inverter is operated with a Power Plant Controller, ensure that the mode WCtlCom for active power
limitation and the mode VArCtlCom for reactive power control are selected in the inverter.

number to uniquely identify the PV power plant. If you have not yet registered the PV power plant in Sunny Portal,
the predefined PV system identifier will be automatically entered in Sunny Portal after the first successful data
upload. Sunny Portal sends the login data to the e-mail address you have entered in the field Operator e-mail.
After this, your PV power plant is registered in Sunny Portal.
Procedure:
1. Log into the user interface (see Section 9.4.1, page 78).
2. Select Sunny Central > Settings > Data transmission.
3. Enter the name of your PV system in the field PV system name. This name will be displayed as the name of the
PV system in Sunny Portal.
4. Set the data transmission frequency (see Section 6.3.2, page 55).
