Checklist Pv-Genset: Location

The document is a checklist for a PV-Genset system located in an unspecified region. It requests information about the location, whether the system is off-grid or backup, genset data including manufacturer and power ratings, load profile data, grid voltage and frequency details, economics including fuel and electricity prices, and includes a schematic of a typical Fronius PV-Genset solution and considerations for system design.

Schematic of the Fronius PV-Genset Solution

Considerations in designing a PV-Genset Solution


/ In a typical configuration the Fronius PV-System Controller is controlling the system in a way that the Genset is
operating on at least 30% of its nominal power (configurable)
/ The Fronius PV-system controller is capable of adjusting the PV-power in a very fast way (depending on the
communication chosen with a reaction time of <2sec and a time constant of <2sec).
/ Nevertheless in the extreme event of immediate disconnection of a load larger than the operating power of the
Genset (e.g. >30%) (see in the figure below at time 11:07:19) for a very short period reverse power into the
Genset is possible. Typical Gensets do not have any problem with this short time backfeed current, but Fronius
cannot be held liable for all Genset suppliers. If the Genset has a digital controller and protection device,
reverse power can lead to shutting down the Genset. This can be avoided by a proper system design,
mitigating unwanted disconnections.
