Product Description

Product Introduction

• Thank you for choosing libbi. These instructions will help you to familiarise yourself with the libbi energy storage system.

• By reading these instructions, you will have all the information needed to help your customer get the maximum benefit from their new ‘eco-smart’ device.

• libbi is an energy storage system that enables surplus energy produced by a PV array, or other renewable generation, to be stored for a home’s future use, instead of being exported back out to the grid. It can also be installed in homes where no generation is installed, to maximize the benefits of off-peak Time of Use Tariff prices.
  libbi can be installed as a standalone product, but will work in conjunction with other Myenergi products: zappi, eddi, and harvi, for a super ‘eco-smart’ home.

• If installing alongside existing myenergi devices, existing devices MUST be updated to the latest firmware before pairing libbi. It is a good idea to start the updates on these before you begin your libbi install.
  libbi is NOT compatible with Zappi V1.

Model Options

• libbi comes in various system sizes from 5.1kWh to 20.4kWh. It is modular by design which means a 5.1kWh system can easily be upgraded to up to 20.4kWh, if required.
  libbi has the option of 2 inverters; a 3.68kW and a 5kW. You will need to decide which option is most suited to the install-specific requirements.

System Topologies

• libbi is an energy storage system that enables surplus energy produced by PV, or other renewable generation, to be stored for future use in the home, rather than being distributed back out to the grid. libbi can be installed as a standalone product or will work in conjunction with other myenergi products; zappi, eddi, harvi, for a super ‘eco-smart’ home.
• libbi uses a hybrid inverter so can be used with AC Coupled or DC Coupled battery systems. An option of 5kW or 3.68kW inverter paired with a minimum of 1 and maximum of 4, 5.1kWh battery storage units per inverter.

Overview Diagrams

• The following diagrams show the libbi working as an AC, DC, or Hybrid Coupled Battery System.

AC-Coupled Battery System

• Usually, retrofit systems where existing PV is in place with a separate inverter or;
• where there are no other forms of generation

DC-Coupled Battery System

• Ideal when a customer is looking for PV and backup battery storage at the same time (cost-saving).

Hybrid Coupled Battery System

• The retrofit system where a customer already has PV and an existing inverter and they have further PV installed alongside Libbi but keep their existing inverter for their existing PV.

System Appearance

Battery and Inverter

Inverter Board Display and Light Indicators

• You will be controlling your system using the Libbi controller and the myenergi app so it isn’t necessary to go into the inverter on-board display menu.
• However, we describe below what you can expect to see on your inverter display and what those light indicators mean.
• The display itself will continuously run through information screens whilst the unit is on. The screens you can expect to see are below.

Battery Light Indicators

1.| Capacity Indicator – Each green light represents 25% of battery capacity. If solid green this indicates this section is full. If flashing green this indicates this section is currently charging. i.e. two solid green lights with a third flashing green light indicate 50% capacity is full and 51- 75% is currently charging.
---|---
2.| Fault Indicator – Lights up red to indicate a fault with the system. See the controller display for further information.

Note: When switching the system on and off this light will show as red momentarily and then turn off.

Controller

WARNING

• ELECTRIC SHOCK – An electric shock can be fatal; electrical connection work may only be carried out by a competent person.

Strip length

Supply

• Power to the controller must NOT be supplied by the backup.
• Adhere to local wiring regulations when selecting the type and size of cable to be used
• 3 Amp fuse recommended for fused mains supply
• When making mains connections it should be ensured that if the cable slips in such a way as to place strain on the conductors, the protective earthing conductor will be the last to take the strain

Gland Requirements

• Glands are to be used as a way of anchoring the cables. The size of cable and gland used is the responsibility of the installer and should be determined on an install-by-install basis depending upon install specifics.

Controller to Inverter Communication (RS485)

• The controller communication cable, provided, must be inserted into the RS485 port of the controller, Red to A, Black to B.
• A 5m controller communication cable is supplied. If extension is required, it must be done using twisted pair cable like CAT5/6 and should NOT be extended further than the distance of 100m.

Ethernet Connection

• If the intention is to connect the controller to the internet via a hardwired Ethernet connection, insert the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port at this point.
• If you will be connecting to the internet via WiFi leave this port empty.
• If the controller detects an Ethernet connection it will turn off WiFi and default to a hardwired connection by default so it is important that if you intend to connect via WiFi to leave this port free.

CT Sensor Installation

• Current Transformers (CTs) are used to measure current at various places of the installation. For example, the Grid connection point, the solar/wind inverter, or a static battery system.
• Installation of a CT to monitor the Grid connection point is required. Other CTs are optional and can be purchased separately. The number and location of CTs used within an installation will vary according to the devices installed and the user requirements.
• CTs can be wired to any myenergi device with CT inputs (e.g. libbi, eddi, zapping, ng, or have). This enables flexible installation as the CT can be wired to the nearest device.
• The Harvi device can be used for Generation CT if it is not practical to connect any CT to the Libbi.

Grid CT

• The Grid CT sensor (supplied) needs to be clipped around either the Live or Neutral conductor of the electricity supply meter. If using the Neutral conductor, reverse the direction of the sensor (so the arrow is reversed).
• The positioning of the Grid CT sensor is crucial, take note of the following when deciding where best to install the sensor:
• Can be connected to any Myenergi device with a CT input e.g. the libbi, eddi, or zapping (wired sensor) or have (wireless sensor)
• All of the imported and exported power must be ‘seen’ by the sensor – be sure to install it upstream of ANY junction box or ‘Henley Block’ (the CT can be fitted inside the consumer unit)
• There must be only one Grid CT per phase for the whole installation
• The CT should be on the Live or Neutral cable
• The arrow on the bottom of the CT sensor must be pointing towards the consumer unit (in the direction of grid import) if on the Live cable, or reversed if on the Neutral cable
• Ensure the CT is fully closed and clicks shut
• Be sure to wire the CT the correct way round; black [–], red [+] otherwise import and export readings will be swapped

Additional CTs

• There is an option to add other CT sensors (available separately) for monitoring the generation or other appliances, such as 3rd party battery systems. Installing a CT for the generator (PV system) will allow the main screen to show the generated power and the total power consumption of all the other appliances in the property.
• CTs can also be used to limit the power drawn from the supply:
• • Additional CTs can be connected to any myenergi device with a CT input that is linked to the network
• • The arrow on the bottom of the sensor must be pointing in the direction of normal power flow (e.g. away from the PV inverter) if on the Live cable or reversed if on the Neutral cable
• • Ensure the sensor is fully closed and clicks shut
• • Be sure to wire the CT the correct way round; black [–], red [+]

Extending CT Sensor Cable

• If there is a need to extend the CT sensor cable, a twisted-pair cable like CAT5 or telephone cable must be used (only use one pair).

WARNING

• Do NOT use mains cable, bell wire, or speaker cable. It is important to use only twisted-pair cables to maintain signal integrity. The cable can be extended up to 100m.
• CT Wireless Sensor (Optional Accessory)
• In some cases, it can be difficult or impractical to install a wired sensor. For example, it may be the case that the Libbi unit needs to be connected to a sub-board, rather than the main consumer unit, and two consumer units are in different buildings.
• The solution is to install have – a clever little device that enables myenergi products to be installed without using wired CT sensors for measuring the generation power; instead, the CT sensor is connected to have.
• They do not need batteries or a power supply – the energy from the sensor is harvested and used to transmit the measurement signal to the Libbi. This means batteries or electrical wiring are eliminated!
• Refer to the installation guide for details on installing and configuring Harvi for your system.

CT Golden Rules – Grid CT

• Only ONE Grid CT per phase (check for only one ~ symbol in Linked Devices Info)
• Located to ‘see’ ALL import and ALL export current (i.e. always upstream of any junction box)
• An arrow pointing in the direction of import (e.g. towards the consumer unit if on Live cable)

All other CTs

• The arrow should point toward the consumer unit.

CT Can do’s

• Can be wired to ANY myenergi device in the network
• The cable can be extended up to 100m (must use twisted-pair cable e.g. one pair of CAT5)
• The cable can be shortened
• Can be clipped around two or more conductors feeding appliances of the same type (e.g. two Live cables from two inverters that are on the same phase)
• Can be in close proximity to other CTs.
• Wires can be swapped around in the device to reverse the direction of the readings (e.g. change import to export)
• Can be grouped with other CTs of the same type so that the power reading is summed (e.g. east and west solar Generation)
• Can be used on the Neutral conductor, on single phase installs, only (direction of arrow or wires must be reversed)
• Can be set to None if you want to exclude the reading

Fitting the Controller Cover

1. Place the cover back on, ensuring to align the top edge first.
2. Replace and screw in the front cover Torx screw (1).

Wiring Overview Diagram

Initial Configuration

Power Up

Battery and Inverter

• Please check the installation before switching on.
• If PV is not present, skip the first step.
• When turning the system on, it is very important to follow the steps below to prevent damage to the system.
• You previously left the system with the front plate removed, after siting the battery and inverter at section 5.

1. Turn on the PV switch, if applicable.
2. Turn on the AC Isolator.
3. Turn the backup/load isolation switch (if the backup is connected).
4. Turn on the battery switch.
5. Turn on all of the battery DC switches on the side of the battery module(s).
6. Press and hold the power button on any battery until the indicator light turns on (If you have more than one battery in the system, you only need to press the power button on one of them).
7. Close the battery switch cover and tighten the thumb screws to maintain IP rating. Then, replace the cable box cover.

Controller

• After completing and checking the wiring of the supply:

1. Switch on the Libbi controller via the circuit breaker or fused spur.

Controller Set-up

• When the libbi controller is first powered up, you will be presented with ‘Setup Wizard’ screens which prompt you to confirm the type of installation you are undertaking. This helps to pre-configure the libbi as required. To view a menu map of the setup wizard, refer to Appendix C at the back of this manual.

CT Configuration

• CT1 by default is set to GRID on every libbi. To amend the CT inputs connected to the libbi to match those installed, within the menu options navigate to:

Device settings > Advanced > CT Config

• Once in the CT config menu, use the up/down arrows to highlight the required CT input and press (+) to confirm. Within the CT Type, adjust as required by pressing (+) and then the up/down arrows to choose, pressing (+) again to confirm when finished.
• It is possible to monitor a 3-phase supply directly on the libbi by Selecting ‘3 Phase’ as the ‘Type’. This will automatically change all 3 CT inputs to ‘Grid’

Pairing Devices

Overview

• If libbi is being installed as a standalone myenergi device you can skip this section.

• Up to 6 myenergi devices can be wirelessly linked together. The device you are using as your ‘hub’ will count as 2 of the 6 devices. By pairing devices, you can use more of your own energy or have more control and visibility. Devices available are:
  eddi A microgeneration energy diverter that uses surplus energy to heat water or rooms rather than exporting to the grid.
  zappi An eco-smart electric vehicle charge point that can use surplus energy to charge the car.
  Harvey A self-powered wireless sensor that can be used along with myenergi load controlling devices such as libbi, eddi, and zapping. It is able to detect grid import/export conditions as well as generation energy and send this information wirelessly to devices.

• Using a harvi can greatly simplify installation.

• myenergi devices can be linked using either the built-in radio or an Ethernet cable. If using an Ethernet connection the libbi controller simply needs to be connected to your local network – either with an Ethernet cable running directly to your internet router or via built-in WiFi.

Master & Slave Devices

• When two or more myenergi devices are wirelessly linked, one device will act as the master device. This device will control the other slave devices. Some settings can only be changed on the master device.
• Your master/slave on your new device will be set during start-up however, if this ever needs to be changed you can set the Master function in the Advanced Settings/Linked Devices menu. It’s a good idea to choose the device that is the most convenient to access should you wish to change settings.
• have will only pair with the device which is set as the master
• It is recommended that where the Grid CT is directly connected to the eddi, that this device is chosen as the master or vice versa. This ensures the fastest response to the grid power measurement

Channels

• Devices will usually use Radio Frequency (RF) Channel 1. It is important that all myenergi devices use the same channel. On rare occasions, it is possible that there are other appliances operating on the same frequency which could cause interference. If it is not possible to link devices or the connection seems poor, changing the RF Channel may help.
• Changes to device communication channels There has been a recent change to device communication channels. Please be aware that if you are pairing a new myenergi device to an existing system you can only use channels 1, 3, and 4. (Only applicable to UK installs)

Pairing Libbi

• When installing Libbi into an existing myenergi eco-system, then Libbi will be linked as a ‘slave’ to the existing ‘master’. libbi has already been set as a ‘slave’ from the answers you gave during the setup wizard.

1. Go to your ‘master’ device and in the device menu navigate to: “Device Settings” > “Advanced” > “Linked Devices” > “Pairing Mode Your “Master” will begin searching for “Slave” devices.
2. Go to your Libbi controller menu and navigate to Device Settings” > “Advanced” > “Linked Devices” > “Pairing Mode”
3. When you see your libbi device display on your ‘master’ device screen, select (+) on your master device to confirm.

Device Settings

• Most device types have settings that can only be changed via the Linked Devices menu. For example, libbi, eddi, and zappi have a setting for priority, and harvi has settings to configure its CT inputs.
• The device settings are accessed through the Linked Devices menu; select Devices then select the appropriate device and press (+) to bring up the device settings screen. Refer to the relevant device instruction document for more information regarding the actual device settings.
• After a device has been paired you will have to wait a few seconds for the device to update before the settings can be accessed. The screen will show DEVICES UPDATING when this is happening.

Device Priorities

• The priority of each, load-controlling linked device, can be set from any device with a display. The example below shows one Eddi device, two Zappi devices, and one Harvi on the same ‘network’. If you have a myenergi libbi, this will be shown in your Devices list.

Removing Devices

A device can be removed by navigating to

1| The priority is shown on the left of each load-controlling device with 1 being the highest priority. If two or more devices have equal priority, the available surplus (for that priority level) is shared between them
---|---
2| The device shown in CAPITAL letters is the device

__currently being viewed.

3| The ~ symbol indicates which device has the grid CT attached /configured to it. There should only be one in the system.
4 | The serial number of each device is shown on the right.
5| If? the symbol is shown alongside a device, it indicates that communication has been lost from the device (the device cannot be ‘heard’)

• Advanced Settings > Linked Devices > Device menu and then select Remove Device.
• If you want to remove ALL devices then go to:
• Advanced Settings > Linked Devices > Reset Settings

Internet Connectivity

Internet Connection – Hardwired Ethernet

• If connecting to the internet via WiFi, skip ahead to the next section.
• If connection to the internet is being made by hardwired Ethernet you will have already inserted the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 Port of the controller during section 6.1 of these instructions.
• Simply connect the other end of the cable into the customer’s home router and connection to the internet will occur.
• If the device detects an Ethernet connection it will use this and turn off WiFi options within the device. If at any time the Ethernet cable is removed, it will not automatically turn WiFi options back on. These will need to be turned on manually within the device menu.

Internet Connection – WiFi

1. Go to the main menu on your libbi controller and navigate to: ‘Device Settings’ > ‘Internet’ > ‘WiFi’
   • Make a note of the SSID and Password (P/W) now for use in the following steps.
2. Connect your smartphone or computer to the myenergi access point by entering your phone or computer WiFi Settings and searching for the network displayed with the same name as the SSID you noted down above. Once displayed, select the network to connect
3. You will be prompted for a password. Enter the password displayed on the Libbi controller screen that you noted down in step 7.
4. You will now be prompted to create a new password to protect the WiFi settings from being changed by anyone else. The new password must be at least 8 characters long and consist of a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters and digits.
5. Wait 5 seconds for your password to change and the webpage to reload.
6. Once connected, you will be directed to another webpage where you will need to select your home WiFi network from the list in the “Detected Networks” box and type in your home WiFi password to connect to your router.
   • However, if you want to give your libbi a fixed IP address then tick the “Show IP Settings” box and fill in the extra information required.
   • If a page doesn’t load, type 192.168.4.1 into your web browser or mobile phone browser to enter the WiFi setup screen.
   • Please be patient. It could take up to 15 seconds for the connection to take place.

Export Limitation

• With a growing number of renewable generation (such as PV and Wind Turbines) in homes and businesses, there is the risk that the grid could be overloaded if there are large amounts of surplus generation being exported all at once. To avoid this issue,
• Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) stipulate a pre-determined amount of electricity that can be exported to the grid. This is the ‘export limit’ which may vary per property. With export limitation present within libbi, the DNO doesn’t have to worry about large amounts of surplus electricity entering the grid.
• Under normal operating conditions, myenergi devices will aim to use all available surplus energy within the property before exporting anything back to the grid. However, a limit to export may be necessary, and libbi allows you to set a limit reflective of the amount stipulated by the DNO.
• To do this, in the libbi controller menu, navigate to; ‘Main Menu’ > ‘Device Settings’ > ‘Advanced’ > ‘Supply Grid’ > ‘Export’ > ‘Export Limit’
• The ‘Export Limit’ may be set to an amount between 1 – 100A or ‘off’. If set to ‘off’ this will automatically set the device to its maximum capacity. Depending on the requirement of the DNO, set the limit accordingly. If you are working in kW, you can convert this to Amps working on the basis that 1kW = 4.35Amp.

Example 1 – libbi is the only device with the potential of exporting to the grid

• In this scenario, there is a libbi only. Export Limit in the libbi controller device menu has been set to 16A. The PV is currently generating 3kW of energy. As the libbi battery is full, it cannot store any of the generated energy and the property doesn’t require any load at this time, leaving it as surplus. The DNO, in this example, has stated maximum export allowed to the grid is 3.68kW. The libbi will therefore allow the 3kW of the surplus energy to leave the inverter and be exported to the grid.

Example 2 – There is more than one device with the potential to export to the grid and the export limit has been reached

• In this scenario, there is a libbi and a 3rd party inverter. There are two PV arrays, the first with a 3rd party inverter and the second directly connected to libbi. Export Limit in the libbi controller device menu has been set to 16A. The PV is currently generating 5kW energy from PV Array 1, with another 2kW potential generation from PV Array 2.
• As the libbi is full, it cannot store any of the generated energy and the property doesn’t require any load at this time, leaving it as surplus. The DNO, in this example, has stated maximum export allowed to the grid is 3.68kW. The 3rd party inverter is already taking 5kW of the surplus and exporting this straight back out to the grid. libbi is constantly monitoring the grid CT and knows that the limit has already been exceeded. In this case, the libbi will stop itself from exporting any generation from PV Array 2. The status will show on the controller screen as “Export Limited”.

Example 3 – There is more than one device with the potential to export to the grid and the export limit hasn’t been reached

• In this scenario, there is a libbi and a 3rd party inverter. Export Limit in the libbi controller device menu has been set to 16A. PV Array 1 is currently generating 3kW energy and PV Array 2 is currently generating 0.6kW. As the libbi is full, it cannot store any of the generated energy and the property doesn’t require any load at this time, leaving it as surplus. The DNO, in this example, has stated maximum export allowed to the grid is 3.68kW. The 3rd party inverter is taking 3kW of surplus from PV Array 1 and exporting this straight back out to the grid. libbi is constantly monitoring the grid CT and knows that the limit has not yet been met. libbi takes the 0.6kW available from PV Array 2 and exports this to the grid.

Grid Limit

• When installing a libbi the GRID limit must be set. This is to ensure our load balancing feature will protect the main fuse of the property when importing from the GRID.
• To do this, in the menus navigate to  Device settings > Advanced > Supply Grid > Network > Grid Limit
• It is set to ‘OFF’ as default and needs to be adjusted accordingly.

Product Registration (Installer Portal)

• It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure each libbi installed is registered in the myenergi installer portal. Registration of the libbi within the installer portal commences the Product Warranty.
• Following certified myenergi Libbi training, each installer will have an account set up and be given login details.
• The installer portal can be found at installer.myenergi.com which can be accessed on your mobile browser.
• Each product will need to be entered individually and the barcode required can be found on the packaging of each product.
• Once entered, the products will become visible in your customers’ myenergi my account.

Additional device installed

• If libbi has been installed into an existing myenergi eco-system the customer should already have an account set up.
• Once the Libbi is paired with the existing, registered myenergi device(s) the Libbi should automatically appear as a device in the customer’s myenergi app and my account.
• Check this has happened before you leave.

Commissioning

• To ensure the Libbi install has been successful and is fully compliant with any local regulations, there are certain elements to be tested and confirmed before leaving the site.
• Check all battery modules are connected and communicating. To do this in the controller device menu navigate to: Main Menu > Readings > Readings 5/6
• This screen shows a 10.2kWh system with a 5kW inverter. If the battery size isn’t showing all modules installed check comms cables between batteries are inserted correctly, then reboot the system and check this readings screen again.
• Complete “Basic Functional Testing”. This is required in order to comply with G98 & G99
• Check the time and date are correct. This is crucial for supporting any tariff schedules that have been set
• Check the grid power CT is showing sensible readings and the direction of the power flow is as expected
• If generation CT has been installed, check that the generated power is shown in the top left of the main controller display (If PV is connected directly to the libbi inverter, separate generation CT is not required)
• Check that libbi is connected to the internet and is working correctly. This also ensures the “update from cloud” option is automatically enabled
• Make sure any required safety limits have been set i.e. Grid limit
• Confirm the backup is working as expected
• Ensure all module elements, including the controller, are registered.
• Ensure the customer is happy with the app settings and they know how to use it.

Routine Maintenance & Cleaning

• We recommend a routine observation of the libbi every 6 months. This should be carried out by a competent person and its main aim is to look for any signs of damage and abnormalities.
• This is a visual inspection only and should not entail removing the cable box cover or dismantling the libbi in any way.
• A full maintenance inspection is recommended to be carried out by a qualified person every 6-12 months. This is to check cables and terminals.

Observational Inspection (Every 6 months)
