8 Sample Configuration

8.1 Analog channels

8.1.1 Voltage input The formula to convert a measured calculating value into a physical value is as follows::

M ].[][ alueMeasuringVphysOffset =

Description: [MW]: Current read value across the channel input [V]. [FinalValueMeasuringChannel]: Value at a voltage input of 10 volts. Example 1: A sensor having a sensor constant of 10V=1500W/m² ís to be connected to an analog channel. The final value of the measuring range is 10V. Accordingly, the gradient is calculated as follows:

15010

²/1500==

mWGradient

If the channel does not show any offset during the calibration, then 0 can be entered for this channel. Assuming that the channel has an offset of, e.g. +15W/m² during calibration, the channel must be set as follows: Offset W m= −15 / ² Example 2: A PT100 is to be connected to a channel via a measuring transducer. At +100°C the measuring transducer supplies an output voltage of 10V, and at –50°C it supplies an output voltage of 0V. This results in the physical final value of measuring range vs. 150 °C. It follows that the gradient is:

1510

150=

As the temperature is to be measured up to –50°C, it follows that the offset is:

8.2 Digital inputs The conversion to a physical unit is based on the following equation:

tconstimepulses

lueMeasuredVaphystan.

. ∑=

Example: A meter supplies 6000 Imp/kWh and is to be connected to a digital input. This metering constant is entered directly as a value under “pulse constant” (Imp./kWh], so that the values already appear as energy values [kWh] on the online display. To display the current energy reading, a value must be entered in the field [Interval for current output(s)] , e.g. 60. In this case, the pulses are summed up over a period of 60 seconds and converted to a mean output value over the entire interval period.

8.3 Alarm criterion Another example is used to explain how convenient and effective plant monitoring can be achieved: Example: A photovoltaic installation is equipped with a radiation sensor to measure the solar radiation (insolation) at the module level, and with a power generation meter with pulse output. Based on these parameters thresholds are to be defined which trigger an alarm message to report a defect or malfunction within the plant.


8.3.1 Basic principle of monitoring This example is based on the physical ratio between the solar radiation (insolation) and the generated power; under ideal conditions, this ratio would be as follows: [generated power] = [Insolation * AreaModule * etaModule* eta inverter ] Assuming a PV module having a degree of efficiency of 12%, an inverter efficiency of 91% and a module area of 10 square meters, the ideal ratio is shown in the graph below:

W]

Pac = Gmod * eta mod * eta WR * Fläche

As in reality this ratio is not exactly linear over the entire range (smaller amount of solar radiation => lower degree of efficiency), a solution must be found to obtain a functional error messaging criterion.

We are therefore “opening up” a range in which two read values can occur. This requires two formulas for calculating straight curves, which form the upper and lower limits of a “plausible” range.

To gain more freedom and flexibility when selecting a range, two different gradients can be defined. The shift of the straight line by tupper and tlower is to be defined as an absolute value (e.g.: 0.2kW).

The limiting lines are now defined by the following formulas: Lower limit:

upperlower tXmY ⊕⊗< ( ) ( )nennWRPVArryModule PtloweretaetaAGmlowerPac ⊗⊕⊗⊗⊗⊗<

Upper limit:

upperupper tXmY ⊕⊗> ( ) ( )nennWRPVArryModule PtupperetaetaAGmupperPac ⊗⊕⊗⊗⊗⊗>

With: mlower = 0.85 tlower = - 0.25

mupper = 1.1 tupper = 0.15

8.3.2 Parameterization of the measuring device Settings via the menu item: “Admin – monitoring – formulas / criterion X”: First the general definitions are determined for this alarm parameter:

Designation: “Power generated by solar insolation” Status: “active“ Time: “Interval“ Alarm target (contact) “Standard contact“ Type of message: E-Mail Delay: “8“

(triggering an alarm delay of 2 hours at a measuring interval of 2 hours).

To send an alarm message the contact must be defined in the menu under: [ Admin – Monitoring / Contact addresses / contact x ] !

Then the formula entries are as follows: Y Generation PVA (dig_0) m (lower limit) 0.85 m (upper limit) 1.1 x Insolation module (ana_0);plant surface; * ;etaPV;*;etaINV;* c (lower limit) 200 c (upper limit) 200


8.4 Programming criteria based on the example of an inverter comparison In this example the daily yield of INV4 is compared to that of INV5 and in case of a power anomaly an alarm will be activated. Varios kinds of inverters can be compared. Please create relations in the settings and activate the criteria. Then enter if you wish to calculate the criterion at each logging interval or once per day.

In the field “formula settings”, enter the daily yield abbreviation of the respective inverter under x,y. (In our example this is EINV_3, E_INV4). The shift of addresses results from the fact the proLOG addresses start with “0” (daily energy of INV 5 EINV_4). This value is subsequently divided by the installed generator capacity, thus allowing a comparison of the values of different inverters. The upper and lower limits can be set under item c; the gradient is set under item m. The gradient may remain unchanged in most cases.
