Zero export device zed 1 approved for grid connect solar systems by solar choice staff on 2 april 2014 queensland based gnt engineering pty ltd has developed a device that will enable solar system owners operators to limit the amount of solar power that their systems export to the electricity grid.
Zero export device solar.
By linking three devices in one developed a new generation of single component solution.
It is important to choose a high quality ramping solution.
Following is a simple sld to showcase how zero export works in a solar pv system.
Zero export device enable solar system owners operators to limit the amount of solar power that their systems export to the electricity grid or dg set.
To be able to do the zero export we need a net meter bi directional meter on the incoming side.
Download the catalogue of zero export device.
Export limitation means that the amount of solar energy in the system is controlled by adjusting the set point of the inverter in the system.
In the default approach all solar energy produced that is in excess of demand within your home or business is shunted off serving no useful purpose.
At any time the zero export prevents the solar system from feeding in to the grid.
The zero export device combines a power analyzer data logger and controller into one device.
Some devices can communicate with the local grid to understand their load requirements and can adjust the exported solar power to suit.
This greatly reduces the costs for the system and space needed.
This meter should be modbus rtu enabled so that our power control device can communicate with it to read the active power values.
Gem energy has worked together with manufacturers to provide equipment that can keep the production of the system within 1 of the load of your site which in turn minimizes the loss due to zero export.
By linking three devices in one elgris developed a new generation of single component solution.
It includes ramping solutions which reduce electricity losses by smoothing the output power of your pv inverters.
A solution is to connect a zero export device to your solar power system which will either stop or limit solar power being exported out to the grid.
At any time the zero export prevents the solar system from feeding in to the grid and dg set.
Solaredge offers an export limitation option integrated in the solaredge inverter firmware which dynamically adjusts pv power production.
With a zero export requirement none of the solar power produced by your system is allowed to go into the grid at all.
