Hello Victon community,
Using Quattro 5000 / 120 V with an updated firmware and ESS assistant for a 48V system.
Apparently the generator is not supplying unless the inverter is on "charge only" mode.
the inverter keeps connecting and disconnecting the genset in "on" mode, and does not "pass through" to the load.
Any help with the settings whether the inverter or the ESS would be very appreciated.
Thank you
The ESS configuration uses a system called LOM to detect if the mains (quality) is still there. A rejection of this will happen most of the time when generators are used. In order to overcome this there is the selection in VE Configure to make a selection for this LOM. Beware your system does not comply to the grid regulations anymore when this setting is altered!
Tomorrow I will be testing the LOM and see how it behaves with the system.
Thank you
Please have a read of this Multiplus generator faq which explains some of the things that can be done and their consequences -
Thanks, Johannes, I am a college for Ahmed. We don't have a grid to feeding to actually in our system. So, in that case, can we select in the grid code section the "None" option?
I guess using ESS with this option would not be possible, right?
so in that case. using only a Genset is it disable the LOM? as there is a warning when doing this related to anti-islanding which I believe not applicable for off-grid systems with Gensets
