3.4 Work Modes
The hybrid inverter offers four operating modes (Self-use, Self-define, backup and off-
grid) that can be configured via LIVOLTEK APP for you to determine which mode will
be best for you.
Modes
Description
Self-Use (Default)
·The energy produced by the PV system will go for loads
consumption first, then charge battery, rest power
exports to grid, battery will charge or discharge
automatically based on the system condition.
Self-Define
·Suitable for areas with the low import rate and high electricity price.
·Charge/discharge time can be set as customer need. During the non-set time
period, it will work in self-use mode.
·Suitable for areas with time of use tariffs which means prices vary between peak and valley.
Backup Mode
·When the grid is functional the battery is kept full capacity and will only be allowed to discharge when grid is unavailable
Off-grid
·Suitable for areas with unstable grid to prolong the autonomy in the event of
grid outage. Or reducing the frequency charging & discharging of battery to
extend battery life.
·The critical loads will be powered by PV production and Battery (Battery is
necessary in this mode.)
·Suitable for non-grid areas, and the inverter will automatic activation this mode in the event of grid failure.
13
3.4.1 On-Grid Self-Use Mode
The purpose of this mode is to maximize the solar energy usage and lower the
power import from the grid.
When PV, grid, battery is available: ·If PV production Load consumption, PV
production will go for loads consumption first, the excess energy will be
stored in the battery, and then exported to gird if needed and configured that
way 1. ·If PV production < Load consumption, the battery will discharge only
for loads consumption until reaches its power limit2. ·If PV production +
Battery < consumption, the system will import power from the grid to power the
loads, not for battery charge. ·The power switch between PV production,
battery and grid is automatic and seamless.
When PV, grid is available (without battery): ·If PV production Load
consumption, PV production will go for loads consumption first, then the
excess will export to the grid. ·If PV production < consumption, the system
will import power from the grid to power the loads, not for battery charge3.
When PV, battery is available (Grid is disconnected): ·In the event of a grid
failure or there is no mains, the hybrid inverter automatically switches to
Off-grid operation mode. The off-gird mode ensures that the system forms a
battery-backup grid that utilize power from PV production and battery to
supply power to critical loads. ·The switch time in the system is less than
20ms from one mode to another.
Notes: 1: The inverter offers an export limitation function for you to decide
whether you have a grid limitation, and specify its value via LIVOLTEK APP.
The export power should not be more than the limit value set in commissioning
*2: The battery will stop to discharge when the value is lower than the
discharge cut-off SOC of lithium batteries or discharge cut-off voltage of
lead-acid batteries, which is available for setting. And the battery power
supply can be restored when the battery is
14
charged to the “set value +10%” by solar. 3: The battery will be charged only
when PV production is sufficient.
3.4.2 On-Grid Self-Define Mode
On-Grid Self-Define Mode also called Time-of-use Mode. When operating in this
mode, the charging and discharging time can be set flexibly according to your
wishes, and it also allows to choose whether charge from the grid or not1.
This mode is ideal for those who want to store the power into the battery when
the electricity price is in the off-peak rate and use the power in peak rate
time or save the energy for blackout.
When PV, grid, battery is available: ·During charge time, solar energy and
grid will charge battery2 as first priority at the same time, the excess
solar energy will go for loads consumption and exported to gird if needed and
configured that way. ·During discharge time, PV production will go for loads
consumption first, battery and excess solar energy will export to the grid3
at the same time. ·During the period of no charge or discharge, the inverter
will automatically work in the Self-Use mode.
When grid, battery is available (PV is disconnected): ·During charge time,
grid will charge battery and supply power to the connected loads at the same
time. ·During discharge time, battery will discharge to EPS loads first, then
the excess energy will export to the grid. Notes: 1: Firmware update may be
required to support this mode. 2: You can choose whether to import from the
grid to charge the battery via the LIVOLTEK APP. *3: You can choose whether to
export to the grid from the battery via the LIVOLTEK APP.
3.4.3 On-Grid Backup Mode
·When operating in this mode, solar energy and grid will fully charge battery
as first
15
priority at the same time. ·The loads will be supplied by the surplus solar
production supplemented, if necessary by the public electricity grid. The
battery will be used only when the grid failure.
NOTICE ·If set zero feed-in, the system will not export power to grid when
work on the mode of self-use, self-define or backup. But a small amount of
energy will still inevitably be fed into grid due to unpredictable PV energy
change and load fluctuations. 3.4.4 Off-Grid Mode When operating in this mode,
Photovoltaic and battery constitute a pure off-grid system, the critical loads
(EPS Loads) will be powered by PV production and if the PV production is
insufficient, battery will discharge to power the loads at the same time.
(Battery is necessary in this mode.)
NOTICE ·When battery is discharged to the DischargeEndSOC@EPS value, the
inverter will stop working and wait for the grid to recover or until there is
sufficient power from PV panels to charge the battery. ·If grid failure is a
common occurrence in your area, it is recommended to adjust the
DischargeEndSOC@Grid higher to ensure there is more battery power available.
