    tem. Depending on the insolation conditions and size of the systems concerned, the charging process can take a very long time. If the "permit battery charging from DNO grid" setting is activated, the calibra- tion charging process is performed by drawing a constant current from the photovoltaic system and the distribution network operator's grid.
  • Page 108 Specifying the charging range It is possible to define a charging range with a min. and max. charging limit. In this case, it is not possible for the battery to discharge. Discharging Discharge / charge Charging limit limit Min. char- Max.

    The battery control parameters make the generated energy as optimally usable tion as possible. However, situations may arise in which PV energy cannot be fully used due to battery control parameters. Example Fronius Symo Hybrid 3.0-S: 3000 W (max. output power) Fronius Solar Battery 7.5...
  • Page 110 In this case, the inverter would need to reduce the PV power to 0 W, as the out- put power of the Fronius Symo Hybrid 3.0-S is max. 3,000 W and the device is already fully utilised through the discharging.

    Battery If a battery is connected to the Fronius hybrid inverter, it must be activated here. This setting can only be made when there is an active connection to a battery. If you are unable to make this setting, check whether the battery is switched on and whether the data connection has actually been established.
  • Page 112 If the function is activated, the inverter remains permanently connected to the grid so that energy can be drawn from other producers at any time. Once the meter is connected, its position must be configured in the Fronius Datamanager. Several Fronius Smart Meters can be installed in the system. A different address needs to be set for each Smart Meter.

With the Fronius Symo Hybrid, any PV power that is not allowed to be fed into the grid is used to charge the battery instead so that it does not go to waste. Dy- namic power reduction is only activated if the battery is full or cannot be charged for some other reason.
