question

Hello Gents,

I have the following installation for a 3phase supply in a rural hotel:

3 units of Victron Quattro (one for each phase) & the Cerbo with PV and ESS (3xPylontechUS5000B) in the DC bus. Additionally, I have a diesel generator as backup.

I have Grid connected to the ACin 1 of the Victron Quattro devices and the diesel generator on the ACin 2

I would want to configure the usage of the batteries for peak shaving as the grid supply (max 17kW) is sometimes not enough for the rural hotel. In this sense I would like to configure the batteries for peak shaving.

1. In normal operation, photovoltaic consumption will be prioritized and the rest will be taken from the grid, as in any self-consumption.
2. I would like to reserve the battery for peak shaving, so that it discharges only when the Grid ACin is above 16kW.
3. I would like to control the generator through the SOC of the batteries. So when the SOC is low it should start the generator to supply the hotel and charge the battery (disconnecting from grid) and when the SOC is high it should disconnect the generator and go back to normal operation.

Could you tell me if this behaviour is configurable within Victron system.

Thanks a lot
