Solar-Log™ Meter
Operating Mode
Current transformers measure AC potential-free.
Current transformers have a defined ratio between primary and secondary current.
Solar-Log™ to calculate the power as follows:
Secundary current Isec is measured with the meter interface of the Solar-Log™
Voltage U is either configured in the Solar-Log™ or
the measured values of the inverters are being used.
Calculation of the power P by the Solar-Log™:
(Isec x ratio) x U = P

interfaces compatible with Solar-Log™
RS 485
RS 422
Ethernet
CAN
SMA:
different interfaces for different inverter series
RS485 – PiggyBack from SMA or Solare Datensysteme

Cabling Advices
Please use high quality cables:
LIYCY >=0,14mm2 or CAT 5/7 SSTP
Please consider manufacturers‘ requirements concerning UV stability and installation
For long distances, please use cables with a bigger diameter
Please use cable end sleeves for flexible wires
Please twist pairs and shielding
Please wire/cable from left to right
Please wire/cable from bright to dark colors
Wrong cabling = problem #1!
Please work very accurately.
Please do not try to save material.

Production:
• Based on information sent by the inverter
Consumption:
• Based on information sent by the connected consumption meter
Solar-Log™ always calculates average values within 5 minutes.
Changes and switchings only take into effect every within 5 minutes.
Please consider this when testing profiles!
Surplus:
• One profile:
production
– consumption
= surplus
• Several profiles:
production
– sum (typical nominal power of the activated profiles)

Solutions from Solare Datensysteme GmbH
• Powermanagement: autonomous and remote controlled functions
• Active Power solutions
• Remote Control
• Reactive Power solutions
• Examples from Germany
Agenda
www.solar-log.com 83 von 97
Preparation of installation
Solar-Log™ to provide different functions for active and reactive power requirements:
• Power reduction to a
specific percentage
• Optional: calculation
of self-consumption
• Fixed shift factor and
fixed Reactive Power
• Reactive Power based
on characteristic curve
P/Pn
• Voltage dependent
Reactive Power Q(U)
• Remote controlled Active Power
• Optional: calculation of self-
consumption
• Remote controlled Reactive Power

Remote
www.solar-log.com 84 von 97
Active Power
Power reduction to a specific percentage
•To limit the inverter‘s power to the set percentage (X%) of the module‘s output
•To control Active and Reactive Power of the inverters through Solar-Log™
www.solar-log.com 85 von 97
Active Power
Reduction to a specific percentage with the calculation of self-consumption
• Innovative solution to minimize losses from the fixed regulation (e. g. 70% or x%)
• Only if feed-in power (production - self-consumption) exceeds the maximum
inverters are regulated accordingly
• Using Solar-Log™ Smart-Home functions to optimize self-consumption
www.solar-log.com 86 von 97
70% fix
Active Power - Example
Benefit of reduction to 70% with the calculation of self-consumption
70% with self-consumption
www.solar-log.com 87 von 97
Remote Control – Option 1
Solar-Log PM+ - the additional interface for potential-free contacts
• Can be controlled from the grid operator‘s control centre
• Up to two ripple control receivers can be connected
• For Active and Reactive Power commands
• Configuration matrix for individual settings
• Up to 16 different levels (4 Bit)
www.solar-log.com 88 von 97
Remote Control - Option 1
Via Ripple Control Receiver
• One-way communication (only relay commands)
