Setting up an AC coupled system with string inverter Aurora 6 kW with Multiplus or Quattro

Hi,

I have a customer which already has a grid tied system using 27 modules of 230W and 1 string inverter 6 kW Aurora model PVI-6000-OUTD-US.

I understand that CCGX has built in a FRONIUS module for AC coupled systems and I have the doubt for other models that can be compatible and if there is an specific software product from Victron to do it.

Regards.

Hello,

It is not limited to Fronius, though that provides the best supported experience.

Please read these two documents about the do's and don'ts of AC coupled solar with Victron systems:

For clarity, is your question whether the Venus software can be used for an ABB inverter in the absence of a Multi?

Or do you intend to introduce a Multi in combination with it?

If it is the latter:

This isn't an official answer, but relies on personal WWW research.

The latest ABB inverters have very recently been integrated into Venus software, including the Zero feed-in capability. ( Note* This is on a trial basis, it only applies to ABB's latest generation of models and continued support is not implied).

The capability of frequency-shifting power control existed in the earlier models ( at least since VDE 4105 certification), and still exists in the later models. ( FSPC is a degree of control allowing AC coupling, but without the Zero feed-in capability).

Thank you Phil for your feedback. Yes is the last option you mentioned that customer wants to integrate a Multi or Quattro on the existing system with the ABB inverter. I'll search on ABB's website for more information.
