You set up your battery as subsystem. See Add a battery subsystem.
Charts displaying battery data
Note
Battery PCSs have a different operating pattern than PV inverters. Therefore, VCOM treats them differently. You will not find your battery PCSs in the regular Inverters section for PV inverters.
At system level in the tab Evaluation, the following charts give you insight into your battery performance:
-
Section System:
-
Section Battery storage:
-
SoC/State of charge chart
-
DC voltage chart
-
AC energy chart
-
DC energy chart
-
Tip
Additionally, create user-defined charts or heatmaps with battery data points using the chart generator. For sample charts and heatmaps, see User-defined battery charts and alarms.
Portlets displaying battery data
At System level , the default Battery tab contains the following portlets to let you view your battery data at a glance:
-
System diagram portlet set to display the Self-consumption chart
-
System diagram portlet set to display the battery’s AC energy chart
Tip
Additionally, create user-defined tabs and add your own selection of portlets. See Create a tab at system level. For sample dashboards, see User-defined battery dashboards.
Alarms triggered by battery data points
Set up the following alarms for your battery:
-
Battery state of charge alarms: Receive alerts for your batteries if they are charged or discharged outside the recommended state of charge.
Tip
Additionally, set up user-defined static or comparison alarms triggered by battery data points. For sample alarms, see User-defined battery charts and alarms.
Battery terms and battery data points
-
Individually configure your battery terms using battery data points. See also Terms and Available data points and categories.
