Operation
The MPPT charge controller should provide the constant output voltage for any
variation of solar panel voltage .The variations of the voltage from the solar panel
should be regulated by the charge controller and constant voltage should be given to
charge the battery. It should be possible to set the charge controller output voltage
depends upon type of battery.
The inverter should be switched on directly from the solar power and battery. There is
no external grid power required to start the inverter. Supply of PCU which consists of
MPPT charge controller, Full sine wave inverter ,Grid charger with mentioned DC
input and single phase 230V-50 Hz AC output suitable for both Stand alone and
hybrid mode of operation along with all protection, controlling arrangement and
required accessories suitable for the following capacity of SPV plant.
The microprocessor control circuit should automatically adjust the DC-DC converter
to ensure that it should always match to the PV array under varying conditions and
transfers the maximum possible power. The battery bank should get charged from this
DC bus, the charging rate and other parameters being controlled by the supervisory
circuit.
A bidirectional/hybrid inverter should sit between the DC and the AC bus. The DC
power should be converted to AC. The PCU should have the provision for connecting to
a dedicated load. If the grid is absent or goes out of range the inverter should not
interrupt supply. If PV power is available it should be directed to the load and the
excess power shall be used for charging the batteries. So the power from the Solar is
not wasted. The Inverter should be programmed for solar priority mode of operation.
This means that the maximum use be made of the solar energy. Grid power should be
used only when the batteries are over discharged or sufficient solar energy is not
available from the PV array. If disengaged from the grid battery should keep supplying
the power to the dedicated load, ensuring uninterrupted supply. When Solar Energy
is available the PCU should use Solar Energy and access Solar Energy should charge
the battery. When Solar radiation reduces to less than the PCU requirement, the PCU
should draw the balance power from the battery. If battery power is not available PCU
should share the required power from the Grid automatically. PCU should not use
any changeover rely for this. Once the battery reaches the low voltage setting, the grid
charger should automatically turn on and charge the batteries.
The PCU should have following feature:
If energy consumed by the load connected to PCU is more than the solar power
being generated at any instance, during sunny hours then the load should first
consume maximum solar power & balance power required by the connected load
should be drawn from the battery and then from the grid power if required.
There should be emergency stop switch.
There should be provision of bypass arrangement available in PCU. Bypass means
that power supply from the grid to the connected load can be bypassed from the
PCU, in case PCU goes out of order.
