DANGER
Lethal voltages are still present in the terminals and lines of the inverter even after
the inverter has been switched off and disconnected!
Coming into contact with the lines and terminals in the inverter will cause serious
injury or death.
Only authorised electricians who are approved by the supply grid operator may open,

› Keep all doors and covers closed when the unit is in operation.
› Do not touch the lines and terminals when switching the unit on and off!
5.6.1 Operating states
The Inverter has eight operating states. The explanations about each state are below.
Disconnected (default) Before operation has commenced the inverter is in the disconnected state. In
this state, the inverter is totally isolated from the PV array and the utility grid.
Connecting to the PV array When the inverter is in the “Disconnected” state, the ‘Key Switch On’ com-
mand is operated and the PV voltage is kept above 400V for 5 seconds, the
system turns on the PV Array side contactor (PV_MC).
Connecting to Grid When the inverter is in the “Connecting to PV Array” state and the PV volt-
age is kept above the value of “MPPT V Start” parameter during the time set
by “MPPT T start” parameter, the contactor on the grid side is turned on. The
inverter keeps this state for 8 seconds.
Initializing MPP The inverter calculates the MPPT start voltage which is product of measure-
ment of PV voltage and the parameter “MPP Factor”. After 5 seconds, the
inverter system enters into the “MPP start” state.
MPP start In this state, the inverter controls the PV voltage. Reference of the PV voltage
is determined by MPPT start voltage which is calculated at “Initializing MPP”
state.
MPPT If the PV voltage approximates the MPP start voltage (value of “MPPT V Start”
parameter), the MPPT will start. The inverter follows the MPP target value
automatically, which is varied by irradiance values. If the MPP target value is
out of the allowable MPPT range ([MPP start voltage – MPP Range lower] ~
[MPP start voltage + MPP range upper]), the system will return to the “Initializing MPP” state and will recalculate the MPPT start voltage.
System stop When the key switch is off, the PV Array side contactor and the Grid side
contactor are turned off and the system stops. If the output power of inverter
is kept below value of “MPPT P stop” parameter during time of “MPPT T
stop” parameter, connection to the grid is terminated.
Table 4: Operating states
Page 30 Operating Instructions Powador XP500/550-OD-TL
Storage/Installation/Start-up
Fault If a fault occurs during operation, the system stops. The system resets the
fault and tries to remove the fault. In the case that system removes a fault
successfully, system restarts all by itself. The system tries to remove the fault
at intervals of “MPPT Start” parameter since the last try until trial count

PM: Instantaneously Available Power
∆P: Power Reduction (Power Reduction Gradient Level)
This function controls active power which is proportional to Grid frequency increase. As you can see in the picture, active power need to be restricted if grid frequency is over 50.2Hz. PM (Instantaneously available power)
decreases with 40%/Hz slope and it can be restorable if grid frequency is less than 50.05Hz.
8.3.4 Power Gradient Enable On
Figure 47: PV gradient graph
This function is for PV inverter re-generation. Inverter need to generate active power slowly with specifi c slope
when its operation stops due to various reasons. In this case, active power supply cannot be over 10% of rated
active power per minute.

8.7.1 Anti-Islanding Enable
With activation of Anti-Islanding function, XP-HV and XP-TL series will detect and disconnect itself from the
grid within a few second. If the Anti-Islanding function is not activated, XP-HV and XP-TL cannot disconnect
itself from the grid during grid failure, and generate power to load independently. For example, when inverter
infuse 500kW power to gird with 500kW load connected to PCC (Point of Common Coupling), inverter can
generate output voltage independently during grid failure, and operate itself with bearing 500kW load.
8.7.2 Power Derating
Figure 48: Block Diagram of Power Derating
Figure 49: Decreasing rate
Operating Instructions Powador XP500/550-OD-TL Page 77
Parameters
Figure 50: State Machine
Power derating is enabled or disabled by an output of state machine which is decided by 4 inputs. And while
the output of state machine is 1, a decreasing rate affects an output power.
A decreasing rate is calculated by multiplying factor K({Power Derating P Gain}) and a difference between reference temperature({Power Derating Reference Temperature}) and PEBB heatsink temperature}.
An output of state machine depends on the state in which state machine is running. A transfer between states
happens when defi ned conditions are satisfi ed. Basically, if {Power Derating Enable} is 0, the state is “Disable”.
And If {Power Derating Enable} is 1, transfer is done according to PEBB heatsink temperature.
Following examples show power derating by default parameter.
Descriptions for sections of Example of Power Derating are:
T1: Inverter produces energy and PEBB temperature rises.
T2: When PEBB temperature is higher than 90°C, power derating is activated. And inverter controls output
power according to expression, P(%) =
100
-(
T
-80)x2 until power derating is deactivated.
PEBB
T3: Output power decrease and PEBB temperature drops. When PEBB temperature is lower than 70°C, power
derating is deactivated. And inverter doesn’t decrease output power.

Below graph represents conceptual relation between inverter output power and heat sink temperature. The
output power is reduced in proportion to heat sink temperature but keep in mind that the power derating is
activated at 90°C and deactivated at 70°C (The activation/deactivation temperature can be tunable by parameter).

8.7.7 Communication between Components
COSPHI Control enables remote control of reactive and active power by setting reference of reactive and active
power by communication between Prolog, HMI, and XCU. Here are the communication methods between
each component.
1. User activates COSPHI Control by Prolog.
2. Prolog sends a COSPHI Control massage at two-minute intervals.
3. HMI interprets the COSPHI Control message from Prolog to modify parameters of XCU.
4. XCU operates according to the modifi ed parameter by HMI.
5. COSPHI (limited to Fixed COSPHI and Fixed Q) has two overlapping parameters for RPC and Internal modes,
and HMI modifi es the parameter for RPC mode only. If the relative RPC mode parameter is not modifi ed
longer than fi ve minutes, XCU will operate according to the parameter for internal mode.

8.7.8 Operation Mode
COSPHI Control operates in RPC (Remote Power Control) and internal modes according to communication
status to control power with Fixed COSPHI and Fixed Q.
Figure 55: Transition of RPC mode and Internal Mode
1. RPC mode
While HMI is modifying XCU’s {Remote Power Control}, {COSPHI RPC Reactive Power} and {COSPHI RPC
Power Factor} parameters with two-minute interval, COSPHI Control operates in RPC mode. In RPC mode,
it operates according to {Remote Power Control}, {COSPHI RPC Reactive Power}, and {COSPHI RPC Power
Factor} modes.
2. Internal mode
If RPC mode parameter such as {Remote Power Control}, {COSPHI RPC Reactive Power}, and {COSPHI RPC
Power Factor} is not be modifi ed within fi ve minutes, XCU will operate in Internal mode. In Internal mode,
COSPHI control operates according to internal mode parameters such as {COSPHI Internal Reactive Power}
and {COSPHI Internal Power Factor}, {Remote Power Control} parameter does not infl uence on the active
power.

Figure 56: PQ Diagram of XP500-OD-TL
Output power limit is based on apparent power which is 111% of the rated power. In other words, where the
apparent power is over the rated power, active/reactive power is reduced at same rate respectively so that the
fi nal output power does not exceed 111% of the rted power.
PQ diagram above shows that the reactive power is from 0 to 242kVAR according to the power factor which is
from 1 to 0.9, the active power is up to 500kW and active/reactive power is not limited because the fi nal output
apparent power is not over 555kVA (111% of the rated power). And because the apparent power is over
555kVA where power factor is less than 0.9 the active/reactive power is reduced.
Figure 57: PQ Diagram of XP550-OD-TL
Output power limit is based on apparent power which is 101% of the rated power. In other words, where the
apparent power is over the rated power caused by reducing power factor, active/reactive power is reduced at
same rate respectively so that the fi nal output power does not exceed 101% of the rated power.
When changing the power factor from 1 to 0.9, the active power is down to 500kW and the reactive power
will be up from 0 to 242kVAR since the fi nal output apparent power should be remained at 555kVA (101% of
rated power). In case of power factor is 1.0, the output power is 550kW (550kVA).

Figure 61: Grid Voltage 60% Drop
The above graphs show the change of electrical values during FRT (Fault Ride Through) control, and the detailed
description for each section is as follows.
Section 1
• If Grid Voltage drops below standard FRT value (0.9
) set by parameter, inverter will convert its mode to
P.U
FRT.
• The occurrence of Over Current is decided by the slope and depth, and if when over current occurs, inverter
will stop PWM Modulation for one cycle.
• Inverter will infuse the reactive power to grid according to parameter setting.
• Since the reactive power value is proportional to the parameter setting value, you can infuse reactive power
to grid as much as possible.
Section 2
• Infuse active power and reactive power to grid according to parameter setting.
Section 3
• The occurrence of Over Current is decided by the slope and depth, and if when over current occurs, inverter
will stop PWM Modulation for one cycle.
• Infuse active power and reactive power to grid according to parameter setting.
Section 4
• If Grid voltage rises above standard FRT value (0.9
) set by parameter, inverter will convert its mode to
P.U
normal and stop reactive current infusion.

Parameters
The operation for FRT (Fault Ride Through) control is possible to set by parameter as follows.
• Grid Under Voltage Levels
- Grid Under Voltage Level 1 – Transfer to FRT mode.
- Grid Under Voltage Level2 – Inverter stops its operation with ‘Grid Under Voltage Level 2 Fault’ when the
grid voltage below ‘Grid Under Voltage Level 2’ sustains over “Grid Under Voltage Trip Time 2”.
- Grid Under Voltage Trip Time 1 – Permissible grid voltage under ‘Grid under Voltage Level 1’ time.
- Grid Under Voltage Trip Time 2 – Permissible grid voltage under ‘Grid Under Voltage Level 2’ time.

Here, you can calculate slope K Factor for Q(U) Control using an equation Q/U=K Factor, and the variables
which are Q=cos(Phi)=0.95, Phi=18.2° and sin(Phi)=0.31. U is the voltage difference between the measured
voltage and the specifi ed parameter target voltage as a p.u. Therefore, you can decide slope k factor. For
example, if you want to infuse Q at U

DANGER
Lethal voltages are still present in the terminals and lines of the inverter even after
the inverter has been switched off and disconnected!
Coming into contact with the lines and terminals in the inverter will cause serious
injury or death.
Only authorised electricians who are approved by the supply grid operator may open,
