Operation and application

3.1 System block diagram

GROWATT SEM D Smart Energy Manager  - Diagram

  1. ShineMaster obtains meter data every 1s and performs Export Limitation regulation for the real-time power of the grid-connected access point
  2. 1n the Export Limitation system, turn on the Export Limitation function in the ShineMaster built-in interface.
    Export Limitation adjustment instructions:
    A: The inverter with the lowest rated power in the Export Limitation system,
    B: The inverter with the highest rated power in the Export Limitation system,
    P1: Control power (P1=meter power + Export Limitation power, Export Limitation power can be positive or negative),
    P2: Idle power (P2=inverter rated power-inverter actual output power P) (1) When -(Arated power 1%) < P1< (B rated power 1%), Export Limitation regulation is not triggered.
    (2) When the Export Limitation regulation is triggered and P1 > (B rated power “1%), the inverter is required to increase the power output. The system starts to adjust within 10s, and the inverters are sorted according to the idle power P2 from large to small.
    If P2 > P1, then only the first inverter can be adjusted.If P2 < P1, the remaining required power (P1-P2) is assigned to the next inverter, and so on For example, there are 20K, 60K inverters in the system, 60K
    1%=600W, and P1>600W for Export  imitation regulation.
    (3) When the Export Limitation regulation is triggered and – (Arated power 1%) >
    P1, the inverter is required to reduce the power output. The system starts to adjust within 10s, and the system sorts the inverters according to the actual output power P from large to small. If P = | P1 |, then only the first inverter can be adjusted. If P < | P1
    the remaining power to be adjusted (| P1 | – P)is assigned to the next inverter, and so on. For example, there are 20K, 60K inverters in the system, 20K
    1%=200W, P<-200W for Export Limitation regulation.
    Note: When triggering Export Limitation regulation, the Smart Energy Manager intelligently distributes power according to the actual operating conditions of the inverter. The actual adjustment process and the above instructions may vary slightly.

Wiring and Export Limitation verification

Before verifying, confirm that the inverter and the meter in the ShineMaster built-in page are connected, o log in to the monitoring server to confirm that the inverter and the meter are online.
4.1 Wiring verification
Method 1: After completing the wiring, turn off all inverters, and all inverters output power is 0. At this time, if the load power is 20KW, the combined phase active power of the meter should be displayed as +20KW. This shows that the sampling point and CT wiring of the meter are correct. Method 2: After the wiring is completed, the load is disconnected and the load power is 0. At this time, set “Export Power (KW)” to 10KW. If the inverter has enough illumination to output 10 kW, the combined phase active power of the meter should be displayed as -10 kW. This shows that the sampling point and CT wiring of the meter are correct.
4.2 Export Limitation verification
After the wiring is completed, the Export Limitation function can be verified by observing the inverter power change. Method: After setting “Export Power (KW)” to 0, disconnect the load. If the power of the inverter drops significantly to about OKW after 60s  the power displayed on the LCD screen or LED of the inverter becomes smaller), the Export Limitation function is normal.
