Fronius energy management relay
/ Energy management function for Fronius inverters
/ Becoming energy self-sufficient through the use of so-
lar electricity and an intelligent energy management sys-
tem is an increasingly attractive option. This is because
the higher the self-consumption quota, the lower the
amount of electricity consumed from the public grid.
/ With the Energy Management Relay, Fronius has deve-
loped a solution for optimising the private consumption
of self-generated solar power. It allows power hysteresis
to be configured for Fronius inverters (Depending on the
inverter type, this function is either built-in as standard
or can be added via a plug-in card). This means that switch
on and off thresholds can be set on the inverter as units of
power (Watt). If the inverter produces more than the set
power (e.g. 2,000 W), a relay output is activated and an

electrical consumer is operated using the solar electrici-
ty generated instead of feeding power into the public
grid. The relay output is deactivated if the energy yield
drops below a specified value (e.g. 1,800 W).
/ In addition to the relay, Fronius SnapINverter and in-
verters with the Fronius Datamanager also have a digi-
tal energy management output with the same function
(including definable minimum duty cycles).

ENERGY MANAGEMENT FUNCTION IN DETAIL
/ If the Energy Management Relay on the inverter is deacti-
vated, the solar power generated is fed into the public grid.
If the inverter produces more than the set power, the relay
switches and the generated power is supplied to the speci-
fied electrical consumers

/ The energy management function is available as standard on all Fronius SnapINverter. Inverters that have already been installed can be easily updated
with the energy management function using the Fronius Datamanager 2.0. The Fronius IG Plus series supports this function from Software version
5.00.49 or higher.
