The Hybrid Controller normally operates in Automatic
mode.
The Hybrid Controller calculates the setpoints for the PV
power plant, the battery and the reserve power to be
retained by the gensets.
• Manual mode (see Enable manual mode)
Manual mode is normally used only when the
Hybrid Controller is being commissioned. In Manual
mode, the reserve power to be kept by the gensets is
specified via the user interface.
If the Hybrid Controller remains 15 minutes in the
operating mode Manual and no user is logged in, the
Hybrid Controller switches automatically to the operating
state SLOW STOP and then to the Standby mode.

To trigger fuses and circuit breakers, a minimum
short-circuit current must always be available in the

the inverters must be able to supply this short-circuit
current.

Passwords
Password for access to the genset controller by the Hybrid Controller
The Hybrid Controller and communication processor of the IB-COM of a genset controller of the ComAp InteliGen
NTC or ComAp InteliSys NTC series are communicating with each other via Modbus/TCP. For this communication
process, a shared password is necessary. The following requirements must be fulfilled when choosing a shared
password:
• The password must not exceed a maximum length of 16 bit.
• The password must be preset in the genset controller.
• The password settings must be adopted for the parameter ComAp access code of the Hybrid Controller.
Administrator password for write access to parameters of the genset controller by the Hybrid Controller
An administrator password is necessary for write access to parameters of the genset controller by the
Hybrid Controller. The following requirements must be fulfilled when choosing an administrator password:
• The administrator password must not exceed a maximum length of 16 bit.
• The administrator password must be preset in the genset controller.
• The administrator password settings must be adopted for the parameter ComAp admin password of the
Hybrid Controller.

Assignment of the Input Signal ExtValue1 to the Internal Signal DynSpinResReq


Genset controller of the ComAp InteliGen NTC or ComAp InteliSys NTC series must be equipped with th ComAp IGS-
NT-Hybrid firmware for the dynamic reserve power requirement of the PV power plant. Additionally, the input signal
ExtValue1 must be transferred to the internal signal DynSpinResReq. This signal transfer must be set in the genset
controller. Depending on assembly of the hybrid system, the following variants must be selected:
• Signal transfer from Hybrid Controller to all genset controllers
The Hybrid Controller transfers the ExtValue1 signal to all genset controllers in the hybrid system. This variant is
recommended since, in the event of a genset controller failure, all other genset controllers remain unaffected. The
transmission of the ExtValue1 input signal to the internal DynSpinResReq signal must be set on every genset
controller.
• Signal transfer from Hybrid Controller to one genset controllers
The Hybrid Controller transfers the ExtValue1 signal to one genset controllers in the hybrid system. With this
genset controller, the transmission of the ExtValue1 input signal to the internal DynSpinResReq signal and the
forwarding of the internal DynSpinResReq signal to all other genset controllers must be set.

Function "Password Break Protection"


For write access to parameters of the genset controller by the Hybrid Controller, the "Password Break Protection"
function must be disabled.

Parameter
The following parameters must always be set when using genset controllers of the easYgen 3000 series (manufacturer:
Woodward).
ID Parameter Setting
1702 Device number This parameter assigns each genset controller with a unique address. Each genset con-
troller requires a unique device number.
4071 Alarm class The alarm class of the multi-system parameter alignment may only be set to A or B. This
will ensure that the multi-system parameter alignment is not able to lead to the gensets
being stopped.
5747 Droop tracking Droop tracking must be enabled.
5748 Load sharing in Load sharing in droop mode must be enabled.
droop mode
5752 Start stop mode The function Start stop mode for load-dependent connection and disconnection must
be set to the value Reserve power.
5761 IOP Hysteresis The parameter IOP Hysteresis specifies the disconnection hysteresis for absolute
power management and must be set to a value suitable for the hybrid system:
• If the parameter IOP Hysteresis is set to too low a value, the gensets will have to
start and stop too frequently. Frequent starting and stopping of the gensets can
lead to disturbances in the operating procedure.
• If the parameter IOP Hysteresis is set to too great a value, the gensets will have
to run without interruption for too long and will be subject to greater wear and
tear. The PV power plant can not be used optimally.
8950 Node-ID CAN- The parameter Node-ID CAN-Bus 1 specifies the address with which the genset con-
Bus 1 troller is identified at the CAN bus. This parameter must be set to the same value as the
parameter Device number (ID: 1702).
8962 Selected Data The Selected Data Protocol must be set to the value 5003.
Protocol
9600 COB-ID The COB-ID is an identification number with which the genset controllers communicate
via the Selected Data Protocol (ID: 8962). Each genset controller requires a unique
COB-ID.
9923 Load share In- The function Load share Interface must be set to the value CAN #1. This specifies
terface the interface for communication between genset controller and Hybrid Controller.

brid Controller via a CAN communication interface, and the Ethernet gateway ESENET
is set in parallel, e.g. for an additional monitoring function, then so-called Ser-

6.2.4 Setpoints for the Storage System According to the Rise and Drop of PV
Power
The parameters of the function Ramp rate control can only be set if a battery inverter has been installed.
When using a storage system in hybrid systems: Measurement of PV power via the
measurement inputs of the Hybrid Controller
If a storage system is implemented in the hybrid system, the Hybrid Controller has to calculate the setpoints of the
storage system for the charging and discharging of the battery depending on the PV power. To correctly calculate
the setpoints, the Hybrid Controller requires the data of the PV power in a very high temporal resolution.
For this, a current measurement input and a voltage measurement input of the Hybrid Controller or of the optional
Data Acquisition Module must be used for capturing the PV power. The data transmitted via the internal
communication network of the hybrid system do not have the required resolution.

6.3 Processing of the received measured values and parameters


6.3.1 MPP Estimate for PV Power Plant
The accuracy of the MPP estimate is evaluated by the Hybrid Controller during the run time. The evaluation results are
written to the error and event file and shown on the user interface in the error dialog at the end of the day.
One of the three messages are generated once a day:
• #2122 - MPP accuracy: no evaluation due to small PV operation time
Today's operating time of the PV system was too short to carry out a proper evaluation.
• #2123 - MPP accuracy: negative/positive mismatch by xy/xy kWh
A negative or positive deviation has occurred during the calculation of the MPP power. The deviation is shown in
kWh by xy/xy. A negative deviation means that the MPP calculation is too low. A positive deviation means that
the MPP calculation is too high.
• #2124 - MPP accuracy: achieved the expected accuracy of 10%
The accuracy of the determined MPP lies within the required scope of 10%.
With this information, an adjustment of the parameters of the calculation is possible to increase accuracy.
