Prerequisites-
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 Section: System for PV inverters.
At system level in the tab Evaluation, the following charts give you insight into your battery performance:
-
-
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 Power flows 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.
