1. Brief Introduction of Export Management

To maintain the safety and quality level of the grid network, some countries’ local grid
authorities limit the PV generated power exporting to the grid. To meet this requirement,
Hoymiles has developed an Export Management Solution, which can help users install a
bigger PV system without violating export regulations.

2. Terms and Definitions

l Export: The power export to the grid.


l Production: The power produced by the PV microinverter system.
l Consumption: The power consumed by the local loads.
l Solar Meter: A meter installed at the output of solar microinverters and reads the
power/energy produced by the PV microinverter system.
l Load Meter: A meter installed at the load consumption side and reads the
power/energy consumed by the local load.
l Grid Meter: A meter installed at the grid connection side and reads the power/energy
exported to the grid.1
l Current Transformer (CT): A transformer clips on the wiring to detect the current
flow.
l Meter: A device measures for the energy flow.
l DTU: Data Transfer Unit, receive the data from microinverter and meter, then upload
them to the monitoring platform.

3. Introduction of RS485 connection

In Hoymiles Export Management system, Hoymiles gateway, DTU-Pro and the meter are
needed. The meter is installed at the load side or grid side to measure the consumption or
export power. If the export control is enabled, DTU-Pro will adjust the PV power
generation to ensure that the export power will not exceed the give limit by the user.
If the user just wants to know the accurate PV generation, just install the meter at the solar

3 Export Management Technical Note


side then DTU-Pro will collect the data from this meter and the user will get the PV
generation on Hoymiles monitoring platform.
If there is only one DTU used in small size PV system. The RS485 port of the meter is
connected directly to the RS485 port of DTU-Pro using shielded twisted pair.

4. Installing the Export Management system

To install the Hoymiles Export Management, please perform the following steps. Before
installation, please confirm if you have the permission to this system. If not, please contact
your installer, dealer or Hoymiles technical support.

Step 1: Confirm the export control type:


l Type 1: Zero Export: to limit the exporting power to zero so that can prevent the
generated power feed back to the grid.
l Type 2: Export Limit: to limit the exporting power within a certain value.
l Type 3: Production and Consumption Monitoring: enable to measure the PV
generating under a high accuracy level.
Note: Refer to appendix A for more information about the Export Control.

Step 2: Confirm the Grid type: the grid type varies in different countries, please

10 Export Management Technical Note


Appendix A: Examples of Export Control

The following examples illustrate that how to use the module of Export Control when you
create an Export Management Station.
Before enabling the Export Control, Types of Power Distribution Networks must be
selected, which are “Single Phase 230V”, “Three Phase 230V/400V”, “Split Phase
120V/240V”and “Three Phase 120V/208V”. These four can cover the power grid types in
most countries around the world.

When “Three Phase 230V/400V” is selected, the Limit Mode in Export Control contains
two modes, Total and Per Phase limit mode, while for other three types there’s only Total
Limit Mode.
Total: The total export power is the total solar production minus the total load
consumption. Export power on one phase can compensate for import power of another
phase.

Per Phase (Only for three phase 230V/400V PV system): When the user selects “Three
Phase 230V/400V”, which means the outputs of PV microinverters are connected to
phase voltage, Per Phase can be selected and limit value of each phase can be entered.
Export power of each phase will be limited to the value as shown in the picture below. The
total export power is the sum of the solar production minus the load consumption of each
phase.

11 Export Management Technical Note


The following examples has twelve hoymiles 4 in 1 microinverters HM-1500 connected to
a three phase system. The phase voltage is 230V and the maximum continuous output
AC power of this system is 18kW. The output power of all the PV modules is 20kW. Each
phase has four microinverters with maximum AC power 6kW. In each example, details
about how the export power, solar power are influenced by different conditions will be
given.
And in the module of Types of Power Distribution Networks, the Three Phase
230V/400V is selected.

l Example 1: Zero export power limit, total limit mode


In this example, the export power limit of the whole PV system is set to zero and the Total
Limit Mode is enabled.

Case 1
Solar production of every phase is lower than the load consumption, so all the loads are
powered from the solar production and the grid. Due to no export power to the grid, the
solar production will not be limited.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 2 2 2 6
Load Consumption 4 3 2 9
Real Solar Production 3 2 1 6
Export -2 -1 0 -3(zero export)
Note: The negative “-3” means 3kW power imported from the grid, no power injected into the grid.

Case 2
Solar production of one phase is higher than the load consumption, but other two phases
are opposite. But if the total solar production is lower than the total load consumption, the
solar production will not be limited in the Total Limit Mode.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 3 3 3 9
Load Consumption 4 3 2 9
Real Solar Production 3 3 3 9
Export -1 0 1 0(zero export)

Case 3
Total Solar Production is higher than the total load consumption, so the solar production of
every phase will be limited.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 4 4 4 12

12 Export Management Technical Note


Load Consumption 4 3 2 9
Real Solar Production 3 3 3 9
Export -1 0 1 0(zero export)

l Example 2: Zero export power limit, per phase limit mode


In this example, the export power limit of the whole PV system is set to zero and the Per
Phase Limit Mode is enabled.

Case 1
Solar production of every phase is lower than the load consumption, so the loads of every
phase are powered from the solar production and the grid. Due to no export power to the
grid, the solar production will not be limited.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 2 2 2 6
Load Consumption 4 3 2 9
Real Solar Production 3 2 1 6
Export -2 -1 0 -3(zero export)
Note: The negative “-3” means 3kW power imported from the grid, no power injected into the grid.

Case 2
Solar production of one phase is higher than the load consumption, solar production of
this phase will be limited in the Per Phase Limit Mode.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 3 3 3 9
Load Consumption 4 3 2 9
Real Solar Production 3 3 2 8
Export -1 0 0 -1(zero export)

Case 3
If solar production of any phase is higher than the corresponding load consumption, the
solar production of every phase will be limited.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 4 4 4 12
Load Consumption 4 3 2 9
Real Solar Production 4 3 2 9
Export 0 0 0 0(zero export)

l Example 3: 70% export power limit, Total limit mode


In Germany, due to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) 2012, the PV systems with
system capacity from 800W to 30kW should regulate output power or fixed limit of 70
percent in total limit mode at the point of common coupling.
In this example, with the PV modules output power 20kW, the export power limit should be
20kW*70%=14kW.
13 Export Management Technical Note
Case 1
The total solar production lower than the load consumption or higher than the load
consumption but not more than 70%, the solar production will not be limited.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 5 4 3 12
Load Consumption 4 3 2 9
Real Solar Production 5 4 3 12
Export -1 -1 -1 -3

Case 2
If the total solar production is 70% higher than the load consumption or more, the solar
production will be limited in the Total Limit Mode.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 6 6 6 18
Load Consumption 1 0 0 1
Real Solar Production 5 5 5 15
Export -4 -5 -5 -14

l Example 4: 6kW export power limit, per phase limit mode


In this example, the export power limit is set to 6kW, and the limit of each phase is set to
2kW.

Case 1
If the solar production of any phase is lower than the corresponding load consumption or
higher than the load consumption but not more than 2kW, the solar production will not be
limited.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 5 4 3 12
Load Consumption 4 3 2 9
Real Solar Production 5 4 3 12
Export -1 -1 -1 -3

Case 2
If the solar production of any phase is 2kW higher than the load consumption or more, the
solar production will be limited in the Per Phase Total Limit Mode.
Phase1/kW Phase2/kW Phase3/kW Total/kW
Ideal Solar Production 3 4 5 12
Load Consumption 2 2 2 6
Real Solar Production 3 4 4 11

Export -1 -2 -2 -5

14 Export Management Technical Note


l Example 5: No export control, solar production and load consumption display.
Some users do not need the export management, but only want to see the solar
production and load consumption on Hoymiles Monitoring Platform. The steps of creating
a new station is the same as the export management station, but in the module of Export
Control, the function of export power limit should be disable.
