Appendix ystem description TRIO grid-tied inverters provide the capability to supply the utility grid with energy obtained from photovoltaic modules. To efficiently use the DC generated by a photovoltaic field, it must be transformed into alternating current (AC) via a conversion process known as DC-AC inversion. This process is the basis of all grid-tied inverters and is achieved very efficiently by the inverter without the use of rotating elements. -

7 - Appendix onnection diagrams for environmental sensors Connection diagrams for the main sensors sold by ABB are shown below: Each of the environmental sensors listed above, with the exception of the PVI-AEC-PYR-1300 Pyranometer should be connected directly to the analog input of the Trio inverter. This data is then transmitted along with the inverter’s data to the system’s data logger (VSN700 sold separately). -
