3. Introduction 3.1 Basic features The BRE-I-5K hybrid inverters apply to PV energy storage system with PV module, battery, loads and grid. The energy produced by PV system shall be used to optimize self-consumption, excess power charge battery and the rest power could be fed into the grid. Battery shall be discharged to support loads when PV power is insufficient to meet self- consumption.
Page 9: Work Modes
3.2 Work modes The BRE-I-5K Series hybrid inverter has the following work modes based on your configuration and layout conditions Work mode: Self-use Priority: load>battery>grid Generated solar energy Storage in Battery Load consumption Grid supply power Self-consumption of PV renewable energy is the highest priority. The PV excess is used to charge the batteries, then fed back into the grid.
Page 10 Generated solar energy Load consumption Feed into grid Charge the battery Work mode: Force time use Priority: battery>load>grid (when charging) Generated solar energy Storage in battery Load consumption Grid supply power when the battery capacity is not enough Priority: load>battery>grid (when discharging) 10 ...
Page 11 Generated solar energy Load consumption Self-use from battery Grid supply power when the battery capacity is not enough This mode applies the area that has electricity price between peak and valley. User can use of-peak electricity to charge the battery. The charging and discharging time can be set flexibly, and it also allows choosing whether charge from the grid or not.
