Multiplus II with no grid feed

Hi,

I want to use 3x Multiplus II 5 kw (3-phase) in my solar system and I am not sure about grid connection. I want it work this way:

1) If batteries are more than 20% use power from batteries.

2) If batteries are lower than 20% use energy from grid (just to power appliances, not to charge batteries)

3) If batteries are 100%, turn off MPPT or lower MPPT out power to match just my appliances demand.

4) Most important, never feed anything back to grid, because it's violating rules of our grid provider.

Can Multiplus II work this way or I need different device?

PS.: All other devices in setup will be also Victron (MPPT, Cerbero...)

@Matthias Lange - DE - Thank you for answer, I studied everything about ESS but I am still not sure if it's really completely prevents feed-in. From what I understand some small feed-in still can happen, when some heavy load is disconnected or something, but I really can't afford any feed-in even for one sinus wave or I can be fined.


From what I understood from trainings and manual, using Virtual Switch for triggering Ignore AC input relay is only option to really prevent any feed-in. Am I correct?

Hi, I´m using on my 3 Multi´s ESS No Grid feed in, with Grid setpoint on 120W. Here in Czech is feed-in (also consumption) measured in 15-minute average, so small overflows in a few seconds are not registered by an electrometer.

@matess4rs You are using 3 multi's... is that to provide a tri-phase output? I intend to use three for this reason, but we have to retain our tri-phase grid connection. If your system is doing the same things, what kind of current sensor do you have connected to the tri-phase grid connection? I have found some available but I want to be certain to get one that talks happily to the Victron kit.
