Main Parameters and Operation Modes 5.6 Operation Mode The H5E hybrid system has 6 operation modes for users to choose and 2 passive operation modes. Each mode has different behavior between battery, grid, and home load. In some area, the detail behavior of each operation mode may be different due to the local electricity regulations.
Main Parameters and Operation Modes 5.6.2 Peak cut mode In this mode, the home load will consume the power from the PV inverter in priority. When the home load consume more power than the power generated by the inverter, it will consume the power from the grid. Then, battery will only discharged to the supply the extra load after the power consume from the grid exceeds the “peak cut power”...
Main Parameters and Operation Modes 5.6.3 Selling first mode Selling first mode is a standard mode combining with 6 time settings. In this mode, the system is operated in following priority: 1. If users have set the time settings, inverter will change behavior in these time intervals 2.
Main Parameters and Operation Modes 5.6.4 Charge first mode In this mode, battery will be charged by PV or grid in priority, after battery is fully charged, the remaining PV power then feed-in to home load and grid. Battery will not be discharged in this mode even there is demand in the home load.
Main Parameters and Operation Modes 5.6.5 Discharge first mode In this mode, the battery will only be discharged depends on the load consumption. It will not be charged even there is excess PV power. All the PV power is feed-in to home load and grid.
Main Parameters and Operation Modes 5.6.6 Standalone mode Operation mode select ‘Hybrid with backup charge - phase 2’, the system changes to standalone mode automatically during a power outage occur. At this time, grid side is disconnected and hybrid inverter operate in micro-grid to provide simulated grid for home load and PV inverter.
Main Parameters and Operation Modes 5.6.8 Balance mode This operation is passive mode and only applied to H5E_220+BX6.3_DD+BX6.3_EX system. During the installation, the battery voltage of BX6.3 series might be different. Due to the specifications of the battery module, the system will be switched to this mode automatically to balance the voltage of BX6.3 series.

System application 3. Hybrid with backup charge - phase 1 The key feature of this system is that it can support off-grid application and the PV inverter can continue generating power during power failure. In this applica- tion, the auto contactor is not necessary as it applies the internal contactor of BX6.3_AC100.
Page 42
The key benefit of this system is that it reduces the risk of causing damage to the inverter when short circuit occurred at the critical load during on-grid mode. This system can support Delta PV inverters and 3rd party PV inverters. For H5E_220, FW updates might be performed to get access to this function.
