4. System Operation 4.1 System Start-Up To start up: Turn on the circuit breaker ”AC Grid” (QF1); Turn on circuit breaker “BAT” (QF12); now the EMS is powering on and the battery packs is connecting with inverter; Turn on circuit breaker “PV” (QF11), to connect the PV panel on the hybrid inverter; Turn on circuit breaker “LOAD”...
Peak Shaving mode: save energy bill via shifting energy from peak time to off-peak time for areas with Time of Use electricity prices. After setting the charging and discharging time via the touch screen, the system can charge the battery packs during the off-peak time(charging time) and discharge the battery during the peak time (discharging time), which realize peak shaving based on different electricity prices.
Figure 10 Home page of EMS Touch the other items (such as “Production”, “System” etc.) on the touch screen to shift between different items. 4.2.2 Change Operation Modes To change the system operation mode from default Self Use to Peak shaving, please follow below steps: Touch the “User”...

Touch the “Setup” button on the right and bottom of the “User” page, then input the password to login. The default password is 666666. Figure 12 Input the password On the “Setup” page below User page, touch the “System” button on the left side, and change the System Mode options from Self Use to Peak Shaving.
After choosing the “Peak Shaving” mode, you also need to set the time range and power for charging / discharging. Save the successful setting and the system will operate under peak shaving mode. Figure 14 Time range and power setting under Peak Shaving mode Note: the system will automatically shift to Backup operation mode when the public grid is failed.
5. Trouble Shooting 5.1 Fault Messages and Action List When failure occurs, warning codes will be displayed on the touch screen. The latest 20 fault codes will be stored in the EEPROM. Check the history fault information via the touch screen. Detailed fault definitions are listed as below: Item Fault Message...
