Overloading An Inverter (DC to AC Power Ratio): How does it work?
Переглядів 3533 місяці тому
Most inverters let you oversize the array up to a point relative to the inverter AC output. We often call this overloading ratio or DC/AC ratio. I get questions like "how does that work?" and "how does that not damage the inverter?". This is how the inverter handles an oversized array (be sure not to exceed the inverters published limits). #solar #solarenergy #solarpower #stringsizing #solarpan...

The max PV power of the string can be higher than specified for the DC input upto around 150%. The converter will "ignor" this extra available power and not convert it to the AC side. This will result on clipping the highest possible level, but this lost is only a few procents in regard to the total converted value. As a positive effect, the converter will convert power over a larger time span during a day, so produce more AC power. A second general mistake is that the each panel directly generated it's almost full voltage the moment some light shines on it, so the minimum MPPT voltage is directly exceeded. The string presents however a very low current at this low light level. The output current will be linear with the amount of light shining on the string. The converted will decide how much DC power is converted to AC power.
But if we multiply 13.84*49.42, it’s equal to 684.46 How is that at 540?
13.84 Isc is at 0V (short circuit) = 0 W and 49.42 Voc is at 0 Amps ( Open circuit) = 0W . You see this represented at each end of the power curve. You multiply the Vmp x Imp to get power.
how does removing the diodes on a solar panel help at all? does anyone know
thx u for your time and effort what software do u use to plot the IV curve ?
Makes no sense to me
Awesome tool!!! thank you for sharing.. I just downloaded and was taking it out for a test drive. One question though... Why does cell D19 show "TRUE" instead of the value that you input there? I tried to see the logic/ formula but it only lets me input a value and then displays TRUE regardless of whatever value I input for the Test Voc value. Also I am unable to edit the Pmp value for my panels... Please help
Hmm, that's strange. I see that too. I'll look into it now and let you know when I've updated it, hopefully tonight.
Check it out now and let me know if there is anything else. It should say Version 3.
When using your APP on a cell phone in Portrait Mode, the parameters for the Victron 250/60 Charge Controller get truncated and "appear" very wrong. Landscape mode is OK.
Hi thanks for the feedback, I can try to make more portrait mode friendly in the next version.
Victron RS 450/100 and RS 450/200 Charge Controllers *NOT* listed?
No one has suggested it to be added. I can certainly add it. For now, feel free to enter the specs in the "Custom" mode for inverters or Solar Chargers that are not listed. I'll add it in the next update. Thanks!
Pls share about PV module string testing
Could you explain....why max fault current contribution is greater in low capacity of solar inverter compare to high rating solar inverter.
Hi! Can you clarify your question? Are you implying and asking why do lower capacity inverters (smaller inverters like residential) have higher fault current contribution than larger inverters (utility scale)? If so can you share two models as examples so that I better understand the question and see the type of inverter and fault current ratings on both models?
@@uptopsolar yes my question is, why low capacity of inverter has max fault current contribution (1 cycle RMS) is more than high capacity of inverter of max fault current contribution (1 cycle RMS) . For example:- a. Cps inverter model name CPS SCA 36ktl-DO/US- 480 has fault current contribution (1 cycle RMS) is 73.2A (1.68 PU), while b. Cps inverter model name CPS SCA 60 ktl-DO/US-480 has maximum fault current contribution (1 cycle RMS) 64.1 A (1.6/0.88 PU).
Whats the difference between Rated MPPT Voltage range and MPPT Operating Voltage range?
I couldn't find the SMA manual that shows this, but from my experience with other inverters... MPPT Operating Voltage Range is where the inverter can operate and perform some MPPT, it's a wider range. Then Rated MPP Voltage range is the range where the inverter can out put it's max power. So in this example it appears that between 100Vdc and 155Vdc there could be some derating, same thing on the high end (between 480Vdc and 550Vdc). Between 155Vdc and 480Vdc, you could expect full power output.
@@uptopsolar Thanks for the information!
No, the voltage is immediately there the moment some light hits the string. The string generates however hardly any current as only a view number of atoms are hit by the light. Current generation will linear increase with the increase of light on the panel upto a maximum where the maximum output is reached. See an episode of Gerry does Solar.
You're good easy to understand or follow. Thanks
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!
Hi, good info. Can you explain how the DC/AC ratio is calculated?
It depends on the type of device. I have since renamed it to the overloading ratio since for the DC/DC converter there is no AC. For a string inverter it uses STC DC Power/ Inverter Rating. For the DC/DC converter, it would be the STC DC Power/Converter rated output. I hope that helps!
Very nice vid! You need more subs! Take a look at PromoSM, I used it on my main channel and it helped me rank my videos!
