Abstract
An inverter energy system supplies power to a site. The inverter energy system comprises a number of solar strings, each solar string including a solar panel(s) as a renewable energy source and an inverter. The inverter energy system is connected to a mains power supply (grid) and to a site load (sub circuits). The forward or reverse power flow into or out of the mains power supply is monitored at a monitoring point at the site. A rate limit is set for power flow into and/or or out of the mains power supply. The supply of power from the inverter energy system is controlled so that the power flow into or out of the mains power supply is within the set rate limit.
Claims18
A method of controlling an inverter energy system supplying power to a site, the inverter energy system connected to a mains power supply and to a site load, the method including
- monitoring, at a monitoring point at the site, the forward or reverse power flow into or out of the mains power supply;
- setting a rate limit for power flow into or out of the mains power supply;
- and
- controlling the supply of power from the inverter energy system so that the power flow into or out of the mains power supply is controlled to be within the rate limit,
- wherein the rate limit is a set power consumption limit of power flow out of the mains power supply.
