Improving efficiency of parallel inverters operation in island mode
Parallel operation of inverters presented numerous challenges, including maximizing system efficiency, minimizing circulating current, and maximizing system accuracy.
The AC sources must be suitable for stand-alone mode with Sunny Island (see technical information "PV Inverters in Off-Grid Systems" at ). The maximum output power of the AC sources in a stand-alone grid must be observed (see the Sunny Island inverter installation manual).
You can order all PV inverters with default island grid or backup parameters from SMA Solar Technology. WARNING! As soon as you set a PV inverter to island grid/backup parameters, the device no longer complies with certain standards and guidelines (e.g. in Germany the DIN VDE 0126-1-1). Danger of feedback if the public grid is down.
Off-grid systems with Sunny Island inverters are self-sufficient utility grids that are being fed with energy from several AC sources in the stand-alone grid (e.g., PV inverter), from a generator, and/or with DC charge controllers (e.g., Sunny Island Charger). The Sunny Island forms the stand-alone grid as a voltage source.
• Never directly operate the PV inverter on the public grid with these settings. For changing the grid relevant parameters in the PV inverter you need a special access code, the installer code. To obtain your personal code, contact the Sunny Island Hotline by calling +49 561 9522 399 or sending an e-mail to [email protected].
