9 Power Control (Energy Storage System) User Manual step 5 In the drop-down list Feed-in Stop, select whether the Logger1000 should send a shutdown command to the inverter when gird power feed-in is detected. • Enable: The inverter will shut down when feed-in power is detected by the meter. Select this option when zero power feed-in is required.
User Manual 9 Power Control (Energy Storage System) 9.1.3 Remote Power Control When controlling active power remotely, the system receives adjustment commands through TCP services such as Modbus TCP. Using remote control to adjust active power automatically deactivates any locally selected energy management modes.

10 Energy Management User Manual • The primary goal is to use as much of the energy generated by the PV system as possible for current energy needs (loads). Any additional energy produced is stored in batteries for future or nighttime use. If PV energy exceeds the total demand of both the battery and the loads, the additional power is fed back to the grid.
