Energy Management
By leveraging Logger1000 to manage energy dispatch in the system, users can select the ESS operating mode as needed to manage and utilize electricity effectively.
Note: The energy management function in Logger1000 is being phased in on different regional servers, and the actual system display shall prevail.
On the Common settings page of Logger1000, select Energy management. The following operating modes are available:
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| AI mode | Applicable to the PV-ESS scenario where tariff, weather, and electricity demand fluctuate and cannot be predicted. In the AI mode, the system predicts PV yield and load demand based on the meteorological data, and leverages real-time tariff to decide on the optimal electricity dispatch strategy, thus maximizing the revenue. |
| Self-consumption | Applicable to scenarios where the PV output is sufficient to meet the load demand. In this mode, the system uses the PV system and battery storage at maximum for power supply, and users can achieve energy self-sufficiency through demand control and battery usage plans. |
| Time plan | Applicable to scenarios where the peak-valley tariffs differ greatly. Users can set the specific charging and discharging time periods and power to minimize the electricity costs. |
| Forced mode | Applicable to scenarios where the ESS is required to promptly respond to the charging and discharging commands. This mode is mainly used for battery maintenance and supports to manually control charging and discharging. It is recommended to select it during the system installation and commissioning. |
Note: When Logger1000 operates in the VPP mode or external energy dispatch, the plant is controlled by a third party, and mode switching is not allowed.
