At the Intersolar Europe, Solare Datensysteme will be releasing a new firmware version. In addition to the intuitive user interface for the Smart Energy functions, the new firmware version offers flexible configuration of the integrated components – for example, heat pumps, heating rods and power generators (CHP) – even based on measurement readings.
Targeted surplus management and flexible surplus prioritization
With the surplus management function of the Solar-LogTM, plant operators can feed a percentage of the generated PV power output into a public grid and use the rest of the energy for self-consumption. This allows operators, for example, who have a 70% feed-in restriction to fully use their generated PV power.
This can be flexibly deployed thanks to the freely definable surplus prioritization. The plant operator determines the order in which the integrated electrical appliances and generators will be turned on. For example, it can be setup that surplus PV power is first used to produce warm water or is primarily used to operator an air conditioner. The prioritization settings for the appliances can be adjusted to the current needs at any time via the Solar-LogTM user interface.
