Description
The unit collects monitoring data from the whole plant and, following grid operator requirements, sends active and reactive power setpoints to the inverters and storage, controls frequency, synchronizes with the grid and performs black start. In hybrid plants the controller splits duty between solar generation, the battery and gensets, talking to genset controllers over Modbus/TCP via Ethernet 100BASE-FX and TX. External setpoints are logged for 18 months, and configuration and logs are available through ennexOS. For the dispatch link, IEC 61850-7-4, IEC 60870-5-101/-104, DNP3 or OPC UA are optional, and the 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet network can be extended with fiber. The powder-coated sheet steel cabinet measures 800 × 1,000 × 300 mm, weighs about 75 kg and mounts on a wall. IP54 / NEMA 3 and the −25 °C to +45 °C range permit installation in an unheated substation. The supply is matched to the site, 100–240 V AC or 18–32, 30–60 or 90–110 V DC from the substation auxiliary supply.
How to choose
Pick the configuration by plant makeup. A pure PV plant needs only the Data Manager L version with no size limit. With storage or gensets, add a Hybrid Controller, where M covers plants up to 2 MW and 120 devices, L covers 120 devices and 32 battery inverters, and XL covers 200 devices and 200 battery inverters, each taking up to 16 gensets. If the plant needs no telecontrol or VDE-AR-N 4110/4120/4130 certification, a standalone Data Manager M for 50 devices will do.
