I have an ESS system and would like to set a Load Following strategy in the CCGX. I charge the batteries during the night and would like (in that order of preference):
1) Set an maximum power available from grid and supply the remaining power from the batteries
2) Set a fix power value for the batteries to supply along the day
How could I configure it?
Hi @Luis
For your first question:
"1) Set an maximum power available from grid and supply the remaining power from the batteries "
You can setup the "grid-set point" = Amount of watts to be used from the grid.
(Remember this is only a setpoint so the system will exceed this value to keep the lights on from time to time depending on your specific setup)
NB: You will also need a grid meter to achieve this or have the total load connected below/downstream of the inverter/charger.
For your second question:
2) Set a fix power value for the batteries to supply along the day
You can limit the maximum draw from the battery by doing the following settings
1) Limit inverter power = enabled.
2) Maximum inverter power = maximum draw from battery while the power is on.
Let me know if I understood the question.
Best regards

Thanks for your answer Riaan. Point 2) is solved but for 1) what will happen when my batteries are empty and I set 3000 kW from Grid and consume 5000 kW?
Hi @Luis, unfortunately, if the battery is empty and there is not enough solar power then you will be using 5000 irrespective of the target grid set-point.
