Chapter 1. Device description

1. Device description
The family of three-phase, high-efficiency and transformerless inverters type PS300 is designed for
cooperation with small photovoltaic power plants as well as wind and water based on synchronous
generators with permanent magnets. These inverters enable the transmission of energy obtained from the
power plant to the three-phase electrical network - the so-called "on-grid" systems. Inverters are working
fully autonomously. After being installed by an authorized person, the user's role is only to systematically
check the condition of the device (failure, flooding, etc.).

The offer includes the following types of inverters:

• PS300-WT/3kW, PS300-WT/5kW, PS300-WT/8kW, PS300-WT/10kW - AC voltage inverters


designed for small wind or water turbines with permanent magnet synchronous generators. Input on
the inverter is marked as WT.
• PS300-PV/3kW, PS300-PV/5kW, PS100-PV/8kW, PS100-PV/10kW - inverters with one (systems
3 kW) or two (5.5 kW systems and above) DC voltage inputs: for installation with solar panels. Input
on the inverter is marked as PV.
• PS100-H/5kW, PS100-H/8kW, PS100-H/10kW - hybrid inverters with one alternating voltage (WT)
and one direct voltage (PV) input: they enable simultaneous connection of solar panels and a
synchronous generator.
Note: The total power of the connected solar panels and the synchronous generator may not be greater
than the nominal power of the inverter, and voltages and currents may not exceed the permissible values of
the given input – table 3.1 page 8.

Photovoltaic panels are loaded on the basis of a follow-up MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking)
algorithm, while for synchronous generators it is necessary to enter a 16-point characteristic of the generator
input current as a function of its frequency. In addition, load control of a synchronous generator can be done
by directly setting the load current via the MODBUS communication protocol (RTU, TCP / IP). Each of these
algorithms is designed to optimally use a renewable source of electricity (RES).

Via the www.inverters.pl portal, MODBUS or Json communication protocol, you can read from the system
information about:

• current inverter input and output voltages and currents,


• current output power (home appliances or electrical network),
• energy delivered in the last 24 hours,
• information on occurring failures.

The system is equipped with an extensive diagnostic system as well as blockades and protections protecting
the inverter,and user. Has security:

• from the mains side:


◦ protection against incorrect mains parameters: voltage, frequency,
◦ protection against off-grid island operation (disconnection by relays from the mains in the event of
its disappearance),
• from the generator side: overvoltage, overcurrent, before the generator runaway,
• from the PV side: overvoltage, overcurrent,
• against too high an inverter heat sink temperature.

2. Conditions of safe operation


Before installing and working with the device, make sure you read the instructions with this description.
Ignorance of the information contained therein may cause a threat to life, human health or irreversible
damage to the device.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! HOT SURFACE!

2.1. Warnings
• Incorrect installation, use, and maintenance of the device can cause physical injury or death, or
damage to the device and connected equipment.
• Some housing components, including a heat sink, can heat up to more than 80°C during normal
operation there is a risk of burns.
• Installation, use, and maintenance of the device must be performed only by qualified personnel.
• Before switching on the device, make sure the device has been correctly installed and all housing
elements have been properly assembled.
• When the device is connected to the supply voltage, its internal components (except the control
terminals – pic. Hata: Başvuru kaynağı bulunamadı page Hata: Başvuru kaynağı bulunamadı) are on
the power supply potential. Touching these components can cause an electric shock.
• Voltage at the DC link capacitors can cause electric shock. It lasts for 5 minutes after disconnecting
the power supply.
• Do not make any changes to the connections when the device is connected to the power supply.
• Before working on the device, disconnect all power sources and make sure that there is no
dangerous voltage at the connection terminals.

2.2. Basic rules


• The PS300-WT inverter should not be connected to cooperate with the synchronous generator
without load resistors, as this may cause the turbine to run out, and consequently damages for which
the manufacturer is not responsible.
• Do not make any connections when the electrical voltage is supplied to the inverter: from the mains
side, photovoltaic panels, wind/water turbine generator, battery bank, etc.
• Do not measure the voltage endurance of any unit devices.
• To measure the cables insulation it is necessary to disconnect them from the device.
• Do not touch the integrated circuits even when the device is switched off, as static discharges may
damage them.
• Make sure that no other passive components are connected to the cables, such as resistors,
capacitors, coils.
• Do not repair the device by yourself. All repairs can only be carried out by the manufacturer's
authorized service. Finding repair attempts will void the warranty.
• After removing the front cover of the inverter, you gain access to the buttons on the operator panel
and at the same time to elements that are, under normal inverter operation, under voltage that is
dangerous to life and health (active parts).

ATTENTION: Particular caution should be exercised due to the possibility of electric shock.
Disassembly of the front cover of the inverter (when the device is supplied with voltage from both the
mains and the generator) and changes in settings can only be made by a person with appropriate
electrical qualifications.

Chapter 2. Conditions of safe operation

• Periodically, you should check:


◦ Connection of protective conductors,
◦ Wiring (the connections, insulation),
◦ Whether water did not got inside the system,
◦ he degree of heat sink dirtiness.

2.3. Protection against electric shock


Protective conductor must be connected to inverter’s PE terminal on terminal strip.
The device has built-in protection against earth fault currents, but it only protects the device and
does not protect a user against electric shock.

2.4. Operation list after receiving the device


• After unpacking the device, it is necessary to check up visually the presence of damages which
could arise during the transport.
• Check up the correspondence between the delivered frequency converter and the order - check up
the ratings plate on the case.
• Check up the correspondence between conditions in which the converter will be used and conditions
of the environment for which it is designed.
• Installation of the frequency converter should be made according to principles of safety and EMC
rules.

2.5. Environmental conditions


a. Degree of pollution
During design, the second degree of pollution has been assumed, at which there is normally only non-
conducting pollution. However there is a probability of temporary conductivity caused by condensation, when
the device is disconnected from the voltage source.

Chapter 4. Preparing for installation

4. Preparing for installation


4.1. Inverter installation location
• The inverter is designed for installation both indoors and outdoors.
• The inverter has an IP65 protection rating and should be considered when choosing the mounting
location.
• To keep the inverter temperature as low as possible, the inverter must not be exposed to direct
sunlight. The inverter must be installed in a sheltered place.
• The inverter should not be installed and operated at altitudes above 2500 m a.s.l.
• In general, the inverter has a dustproof construction. However, in areas with high dustiness, cooling
surfaces can be dusted and the thermal performance may be significantly reduced. In this case, it is
necessary to clean the heat sink regularly. Therefore installation is not recommended in rooms and
areas with high dustiness.
• The inverter must not be installed in:
◦ flammable and / or explosive environment as it may cause fire and / or explosion,
◦ area of puffing ammonia, corrosive vapors, acidified or salty air (e.g. in fertilizer depots, barn
ventilation holes, chemical installations, tanneries, etc.),
◦ premises with an increased risk of accidents involving farm animals (horses, cattle, sheep, etc.)
◦ stables and adjacent rooms,
◦ warehouses and warehouses for hay, straw, sawdust, animal feed, fertilizers, etc.,
◦ greenhouses,
◦ rooms where fruit, vegetables and vines are stored and processed,
◦ rooms for the preparation of cereals, green feed and feed additives.
• Due to the low noise generated by the inverter in certain operating conditions, staying for a long time
may be slightly burdensome for some people, so installation in the immediate vicinity of living
quarters is not recommended.

4.2. Environmental condition


The PS300 inverter should work in dry rooms with little dust. Ambient temperature should not exceed
o
40 C and relative humidity 85% according to tab. 2.1 on page 7.

4.3. Cooling
In order to ensure the required air circulation, the inverter should be mounted so as to keep a free space
of at least 20 cm from the top and bottom and 10 cm from both sides. When installing in a closed enclosure,
use ventilation openings. It is advisable to use an additional fan. Prevent dust from settling on the heat sink
surface. The radiator should be cleaned from time to time.

4.4. Usage of residual current devices


Due to the built-in RFI filter, the residual current must be at least 200 mA.

Chapter 7. The first run

7. The first run


The device is intended for loading solar panels or / and a permanent magnet synchronous generator. The
system is equipped with the following energy conversion blocks:
• AC / DC / DC: diode rectifier with BOOST converter from the generator side,
• DC / DC: BOOST converter from the side of PV panels,
• DC / AC: active rectifier AcR (active rectifier) working from the side of the power grid (on-grid mode)
or local electrical loads (off-grid mode).

The BOOST converter enables obtaining electricity in a wide range of voltages: from 60 to 450 Vdc. The start
voltage is specified in the service parameter 1.20 The load for photovoltaic panels is based on the maximum
power point tracking algorithm (MPPT) implemented in the device, inverters with two PV inputs have two
independent tracking algorithms.

7.1. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and Global Maximum Power Point Tracking (GMPPT)

PS100-PV and PS100-H inverters with PV input (DC voltage input) are using Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. This algorithm constantly analyzes the voltage-current characteristic of a PV
panels and adjusting the load current in such a way as to obtain the greatest possible power from the
system - Fig. Hata: Başvuru kaynağı bulunamadı

Under the partial-shading condition, the voltage-current characteristic of a PV panels is different - instead of
having a single maximum power point (MPP), they exhibit multiple MPPs - Fig. Hata: Başvuru kaynağı
bulunamadı. For this reason, in order to work at the global maximum point, it may be necessary to enable the
global maximum power point tracking (GMPPT) algorithm, which will allow for greater efficiency of the
system.

The user can set the GMPPT scan time in parameter 10.14. The optimal setting is 5 minutes.
Default the GMMPT is switched OFF.

It is recommended to use the GMPPT algorithm only under conditions of possible partial shading. If partial
shading does not occur, using the GMPPT algorithm will decrease overall system efficiency by up to 2%.

7.2. 16 point load characteristic of a synchronous generator


Converters for synchronous generators have the 16-point load characteristic:
I = f(w)
where: w – generator frequency,
I – current limit [%] in relation to nominal current set in par. 3.30.
Points (w,I) are set by user using the “control panel” in the group 3. A superior current limit is imposed on the
characteristic curve (par. 3.9 „DC curr limit [A]”), the maximum value of which results from the technical
capabilities of the device. However, you can set the lower values by trimming the characteristics as in the
figure below.

7.3. Start/Stop command


The START / STOP command is executed automatically when the DC input voltage exceeds voltage
thresholds responsible for it:
a) Par. 1.20 (group 1, parameter 20) "Autostart volt. [V]" – rectified voltage from the input side
(renewable source of electricity: wind / water generator, PV panels) above which the inverter will
start work (if it was in the STOP state) and begin to transfer energy to the electrical grid.
b) Par. 1.21 (group 1, parameter 21) "Autostop volt. [V]” - rectified voltage from the input side
(renewable energy source) below which the inverter ceases to transfer energy to the mains and goes
into the sleep mode. If the input voltage remains below this level for the time specified in par. 1.11
this inverter will go into the deep sleep state.

Sleep state: the mains voltage maintains the voltage in the batteries of the intermediate circuit
capacitors, the inverter is ready to start working in a few seconds.
Deep sleep state: the inverter's intermediary circuit is disconnected from the mains, it may take
about 1 ÷ 2 min to start working. In this mode, energy consumption is less than in the sleep mode.

7.4. Dump load resistors


Dump load resistors (not supplied) should be connected to proper terminals – see chapter 5. The dump
load resistors relays have switching capacity in the category AC1: 16A.
Dump load resistors will be switched on in four cases:
a) generator’s RMS voltage will exceed the value from the parameter 10.2 (U RMS gen. Ham [V]),
b) generator’s frequency will exceed the value set in the parameter 10.3 (Czest. Gen. ham [Hz]),
c) the lack of the electrical grid,
d) during a failure.

7.5. The internal process of switching ON the inverter in ON-GRID mode

• After connecting to the electrical grid, the inverter with PV inputs monitors the panel voltage; the
inverter with generator input first disconnects the load dump resistors and starts to monitor the
generator voltage and frequency.
• The inverter checks whether the voltage and frequency of the network is correct.
• By collecting energy from a source connected to the input, it increases the voltage in the DC circuit
to the level suitable for switching on the power network.
• Performs synchronization with the electrical grid.
• If the voltage received from the renewable source is high enough (threshold defined by parameter
1.20), the MPPT algorithm starts and the solar panels load according to the MPPT algorithm or
generator according to the curve introduced in group 3. The obtained electricity is sent to the
electrical grid.

8. Inverter reactive power control


The inverter has four modes of reactive power generation control that can be configured by the installer. All
configuration parameters are available in the password protected access menu. The operating mode is set
by changing the setting of parameter 12.34.
Table 8.1. Inverter reactive power control
Options of parameter 12.36 Operating mode
0 Q set
1 Cosφ set
2 Q(U)
3 Cosφ (P)

8.1. Mode Q set


The inverter generates reactive power with a value proportional to the active power output. The percentage
value of reactive power is determined by changing the setting of parameter 12.37, whereby a positive value
means over-excitation (reactive power generation), while a negative under-excitation (reactive power
consumption).

8.2. Mode Cosφ set


The inverter generates reactive power by changing the value of the power factor cosφ. The size of the power
factor is determined by changing the setting of parameter 12.38, whereby a positive value means over-
excitation (reactive power generation), while a negative under-excitation (reactive power consumption).

Chapter 8. Inverter reactive power control

8.3. Mode Q(U)


The inverter generates reactive power as a function of the mains voltage value Q (U). In the Q (U) operating
mode, the control takes place according to the entered curve - Fig. 8.1. Control curve Q(U)
The inverter can be configured to start Q (U) control when the output power level exceeds the threshold of
parameter 12.48, and end when the output power drops below the threshold from parameter 12.49. When
12.49 <12.48 then the control switching system Q (U) shows hysteresis. Below the threshold, the inverter
does not generate reactive power.
The dynamics of reactive power value adjustment as a function of network voltage changes is determined by
the value of parameter 12.47. The inverter will regulate the value of reactive power with dynamics such as
the first order filter with a time constant of the value set in parameter 12.47. The individual points of the curve

Fig. 9.2. The principle of controlling the dump load resistors

The inverter continuously measures the frequency and voltage of the generator, and compares them to the
saved settings in the inverter's memory (group 10).

To prevent the generator from detaching, use dump load resistors. Parameter 10.3 determines the frequency
threshold of the generator above which the resistors are switched ON for the braking time T H, in which the
frequency of the generator drops below the threshold value reduced o hysteresis specified in parameter
10.5, however not shorter than the time set in parameter 10.4.

Additionally the inverter can react to exceeding the voltage thresholds. Parameter 10.2 is used to determine
the voltage level that triggers the activation of load resistors.
In the event of any failure, the system switch ON the dump load resistors.

The inverter works with anemometer with open collector type (OC) output or reed relay output. The
maximum frequency must be less than 1 kHz. It is possible to get a supply voltage to anemometer from the
5Vdc output, provided that the maximum load current of 50mA is not exceeded. Fig. 9.3 shows the
connection diagram of the anemometer on the example of the Fardata NP-3.

In order to correctly measure the wind speed, it is necessary to enter wind speed [m/s] corresponding to 10
pulses / second in parameter 10.6. This value is given by the manufacturer of the anemometer (ex. 1.5). The
current wind speed is showed in par. 0.31.

threshold.
• P. 10.49 In this parameter users could set time of storm protection threshold.

When the system detect above velocity than set, K3 contactor turning off and dump load is turning on. When
the set time up, storm protection getting deactivated and process repeats to check wind velocity. If wind
velocity still above of the storm protection threshold, system repeats same process.

11 Delta Ibat 1 Battery discharge threshold at which their emergency charging


begins. The inverter first tries to get energy from a renewable energy
source (solar panels, wind generator), but if the amount of electricity
generated is too small, then depending on the operating mode:
a. on-grid: for charging the battery it will draw energy from the power
grid,
b. off-grid: will block the possibility of further discharge of the
connected battery.

Chapter 13. Faults

13. Faults
The occurrence of the fault is indicated by the red diode lighting up (pic. 6.1). The current fault number
can be read in parameter 0.60. Previous failure number is stored in par. 0.22. Table 13.1 lists the numbers of
failures with their descriptions.
After a cause that could damage the inverter, the inverter goes into a state of failure. Depending on the
parameter setting 1.25:
a) par. 1.25 „Autorestart” = 0 (disabled): the red LED will light up and the inverter will remain in a fault
state until it is erased by a user,
b) par. 1.25 „Autorestart” = 1 (enabled): the inverter will try to resume itself.
Explanation: the inverter after 10 seconds will automatically delete an error message and try to resume
the operation. In the situation when the same failure repeats three times, the inverter will go into fault state,
remain in it until it is erased by a user and the red LED will be lighting up continuously on the display.
