5.2.7 Setting Limited Export

Figure 23: LCS-Tool - setting Limited Export
With the Limited Export feature in connection with a
Modbus-capable energy meter, a maximum defined AC
output power can be made available at the grid-connection
point. The total nominal power of all inverters connected to
the Inverter Manager is taken into account. At the
grid-connection point, the inverter's maximum output power
is increased or decreased by the amount of
self-consumption.
The limitation at the grid-connection point is complied with,
while all connected loads can still be supplied with energy
from the inverters.
The maximum setpoint of the nominal PV system power can
be assigned with static or dynamic attributes:
• Assignment of static attributes:
Set the parameter Active Power (P_ref) for the active
power limitation in the Inverter Parameter menu
under Support settings > Immediate controls (see
Section 5.2.11 "Setting Time of Use", page 37).
• Assignment of dynamic attributes:
In addition, the setpoint of the nominal system power
can be limited dynamically via the I/O Box, Modbus
and direct marketer interface. If the value is set
dynamically, the parameter Active Power (P_ref) is
overwritten in the LCS-Tool. This applies to both the
regular feed-in operation and to the activated Limited
Export function. A load-dependent control is not
possible without an activated Limited Export function.
The inverters are then directly limited to the setpoint.
Installation Manual
Procedure:
1. Open the LCS-Tool.
2. Log in as an Installer.
3. Call up the menu Setup.
4. Under Power Management > Limited Export
enable the option button Limited Export Enabled
and enter the respective values.
5. Select [Save] to save the changes.
The parameters Meter IP-Address, Meter Modbus Port,
Meter Modbus Unit ID, Meter Power Modbus
Register, Meter Reactive Power Modbus Register,
Meter Voltage Modbus Register and Meter
Frequency Modbus Register are used for the
configuration of the energy meter.
With zero export as a special case of Limited Export, the
feed-in operation into the utility grid can be completely
prevented. The parameter Safety Offset indicated as
percentage of nominal PV system power is a safety margin
to the maximum value of the output power set at the
grid-connection point.
This safety value is preset for safety reasons and due to
sudden load changes. Thus, a safety margin to the setpoint
is ensured. With the activation process, the setpoint is
reduced to the safety value. Thus, the feed-in power is
always less than the actual setpoint.
The parameter Meter Connection Timeout is the time in
seconds that is required to adjust the nominal PV system
power to 0 W when communication to the energy meter is
interrupted.
To acquire an overview of the current system values, open
the Status menu and select Overview.
