The frequency inverters operate with undervoltage and overvoltage protection, so that if the voltage reaches these limit values, the inverter will interrupt its operation. Table 3.1 shows the inverter operating voltage information, as well as the overvoltage and undervoltage limits. Table 3.1 – Voltage levels of the CFW500 CFW500 Power Supply Voltage...

Control Method by Maximum Power Point Tracking 4 CONTROL METHOD BY MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING The strategy of control method of variable reference is constantly tracking the maximum power point of the system (MPPT). The maximum power point of a solar module changes according to the solar irradiance incident on the solar cell, as well as the temperature, wind velocity, inclination of the solar photovoltaic module, passing of clouds, thus generating the need of the constant search for maximum power of the system.
Parameters Description 5 PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION The CFW500 inverter parameters (P0000 to P0999) and the SoftPLC function parameters (P1000 to P1059) for the Solar Pump Drive application will be presented next. NOTE! The Solar Pump Drive application only works on CFW-11 inverter with firmware higher than V2.02.
Parameters Description Description: This parameter defines the value of open circuit voltage of the installed PV panels. This data will appear on each of the installed photovoltaic panels and will be named Voc under the STC test conditions. Thus, in the case presented above, the value to configure would be 45 Vdc (5 modules in series x 8,99 Vdc of open circuit).
Parameters Description P1026 – Voltage PID Derivative Gain Adjustable 0.000 to 32.000 Factory Setting: 0.000 Range: Properties: Access groups via HMI: SPLC Description: This parameter defines the derivative gain value of the PID controller for the DC voltage control. 5.1.3.1 PID Controller Gain Adjustment In controlling pumping systems, a Proportional-Integral (PI) velocity regulator is sufficient to achieve good control performance.
The WEG Solar Photovoltaic Detector consists of a photovoltaic module with a small power developed by WEG that will be connected to the analog input 2 (AI2) of the CFW500, whose function is to inform the solar radiation available at all times. The use of this device is optional but will increase the efficiency of solar pumping by allowing system starts to occur only when available solar radiation is sufficient to drive the pump at a predetermined minimum speed.
Parameters Description 5.2 PRESSURE CONTROLLER This group of parameters allows the user to configure the conditions of operation of the pressure controller. The pressure controller should receive the pressure return of the system by connecting a pressure transducer to the analogic input (AI1) and perform the pump speed control, when the user defined pressure is reached and the solar radiation conditions allow it.
Parameters Description Description: This parameter defines the derivative gain value of the PID controller for the pressure control. 5.2.2 Sleep Mode This group of parameters allows the user to configure the system to stop the pump when the pump motor speed drops below a programmed threshold (low control demand).
Parameters Description 5.3 PROTECTIONS This group of parameters allows the user to configure the protections as dry pump, maximum pressure and minimum pressure as dry pump protections, maximum pressure and minimum pressure. If the system activates pumping without pressure control, the time parameter P1045 and P1047 must be set to "0" so that as pipe pressure protection functions remain disabled.
Parameters Description 5.3.2 Minimum Output Pressure This parameter group allows the user to configure the minimum output pressure detection for pump protection activated by the CFW500 frequency inverter. P1044 – Minimum Output Pressure Adjustable 0.0 to 300.0 Factory Setting: 0.0...
