The SMA Integrated Storage System optimizes self-consumption in the household by the following measures:

• Intelligent intermediate storage of excess PV energy with the Battery Pack

• PV system monitoring and intelligent load control with SunnyHomeManager, SMAEnergyMeter and SMA radio-controlled sockets

Operating Manual 17SB36-50SE-BE-en-11

4 Product Description

SMA Solar Technology AG

The Sunny Boy Smart Energy uses the Battery Pack for intermediate storage of excess PV energy. The Sunny Boy Smart Energy and the Sunny Home Manager receive the data from the connected energy meter and thus capture both feed-in and purchased electricity. The SunnyHomeManager receives location-based weather forecasts via the Internet and uses these to create a yield forecast for the PV system. In addition, the SunnyHomeManager determines how much energy is typically consumed in a household at different times of the day and uses this to create an individual load profile. Based on the load profile, the Sunny Home Manager determines the times at which the loads can be supplied with self-generated energy, and, for example, switches the loads which are connected to SMA radio-controlled sockets. The Sunny Home Manager transmits specifications to the Sunny Boy Smart Energy for charging and discharging the Battery Pack. If required by the grid operator, the Sunny Home Manager also limits the active power feed-in of the Sunny Boy Smart Energy, taking into consideration the current consumption in the household. If the maximum value for active power feed-in permitted by the grid operator is exceeded, the Sunny Home Manager transmits the setpoint for active power limitation to the Sunny Boy Smart Energy.

6.2.1 Requirements for the AC Connection

Cable requirements:

☐ External diameter: 12mm to 21mm ☐ Maximum conductor cross-section: 10mm² ☐ Insulation stripping length: 18mm ☐ The cable must be dimensioned in accordance with the local and national directives for the

dimensioning of cables. The requirements for the minimum wire size derive from these directives. Examples of factors influencing cable dimensioning are: nominal AC current, type of cable, routing method, cable bundling, ambient temperature and maximum desired line losses (for calculation of line losses, see design software Sunny Design from software version 2.0 at www.SMA-Solar.com).

Load-break switch and cable protection:

Damage to the inverter due to the use of screw-type fuses as load-break switches

Screw-type fuses (e.g. DIAZED fuse or NEOZED fuse) are not load-break switches.

• Do not use screw-type fuses as load-break switches.

• Use a load-break switch or circuit breaker as a load disconnection unit (for information and design examples, see the Technical Information "Circuit Breaker" at www.SMA-Solar.com).

☐ In PV systems with multiple inverters, protect each inverter with a separate circuit breaker.

Make sure to observe the maximum permissible fuse protection (see Section11 "Technical Data", page57). This will prevent residual voltage being present at the corresponding cable after disconnection.

☐ Loads installed between the inverter and the circuit breaker must be fused separately.

Grounding conductor monitoring

The inverter is equipped with a grounding conductor monitoring device. This grounding conductor monitoring device detects when there is no grounding conductor connected and disconnects the inverter from the utility grid if this is the case. Depending on the installation site and grid configuration, it may be advisable to deactivate the grounding conductor monitoring. This is necessary, for example, in an IT system if there is no neutral conductor present and you intend to install the inverter between two line conductors. If you are uncertain about this, contact your grid operator or SMA Solar Technology AG.

☐ Grounding conductor monitoring must be deactivated after initial start-up depending on the

grid configuration (see Section8.10, page49).

Safety in accordance with IEC 62109 when the grounding conductor monitoring is deactivated

In order to guarantee safety in accordance with IEC 62109 when the grounding conductor monitoring is deactivated, one of the following measures must be taken:

• Connect a grounding conductor made of copper wire with a cross-section of at least 10 mm² to the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable.

• Connect additional grounding with the same cross-section as the connected grounding conductor to the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable (see Section6.2.3 "Connecting Additional Grounding", page31). This prevents touch current if the grounding conductor at the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable fails.

Connection of additional grounding

In some countries, additional grounding is generally required. In each case, observe the locally applicable regulations.

7.4 Self-Test in Accordance with CEI 0-21 for PV Systems ≤6kW

7.4.1 Starting the Self-Test

The self-test only applies to inverters that are configured with the country data set CEI 0-21 Int or CEI 0-21 internal.

The self-test is only valid for inverters licensed for Italy and configured with the country data set CEI 0-21 Int or CEI 0-21 internal.

If the inverter is configured to the country data set CEI 0-21Ext or CEI0-21external, no self-test is required.

Operating Manual 41SB36-50SE-BE-en-11

7 Commissioning

SMA Solar Technology AG

The self-test is only required for inverters to be commissioned in Italy. The Italian standard requires that all inverters feeding into the utility grid are equipped with a self-test function in accordance with CEI 0-21. During the self-test, the inverter will consecutively check the reaction times for overvoltage, undervoltage, maximum frequency and minimum frequency.

The self-test changes the upper and lower disconnection values for each protective function on a linear basis for frequency monitoring and voltage monitoring. As soon as the measured value exceeds the permitted disconnection threshold, the inverter disconnects from the utility grid. In this way, the inverter determines the reaction time and checks itself.

After the self-test has been completed, the inverter automatically switches back to feed-in operation, resets the original shutdown conditions and connects to the utility grid. The test takes approximately three minutes.

Requirements:

☐ Configured country data set: CEI 0-21 Int or CEI 0-21 internal or amended country data set

trimmed or Special setting based on one of the country data sets mentioned above.

☐ A report for entering the test results according to CEI 0-21 must be available. ☐ The inverter must be in operation and in the start-up phase.

Procedure:

1. As soon as the configured country data set appears in the display, tap once on the display within ten seconds.

☑ A message informing you that the self-test has started is shown in the display: Avvio

Autotest.

✖ The message Avvio Autotest is not shown in the display?

The ten seconds have elapsed so the self-test cannot start..

• Restart the self-test (see Section7.4.2, page43).

2. Tap on the display within 20 seconds and enter the subsequent test results into the test report.

☑ The self-test starts. ☑ The inverter displays the results of the individual tests for overvoltage, undervoltage,

maximum frequency and minimum frequency. The results are displayed three times in succession for ten seconds each. Useful hint: If you want to have the next result displayed without waiting ten seconds, tap twice on the enclosure lid.

✖ The information Autotest interroto is shown in the display?

The self-test was cancelled due to an unexpected disconnection condition or the DC voltage is too low to continue grid feed-in.

• Restart the self-test (see Section7.4.2, page43).

8.7 Setting the Active Power Limit at the Grid-Connection Point

You will only need to set the active power limit at the grid-connection point in systems with Sunny Boy Smart Energy and SMA Energy Meter. This will ensure that the inverter always feeds the maximum permissible PV power into the utility grid.

If you are operating an Integrated Storage System and have created a Sunny Home Manager system in Sunny Portal, the active power limit will already have been detected at the gridconnection point and this action will no longer be required.

The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see Section8.5, page46).

Requirement:

☐ The total aggregate active power limit of all inverters at the grid-connection point must be

known.

Default setting:

• SB 3600SE-10: 3,680 W

• SB 5000SE-10: 4,600 W

Procedure:

• Select the parameter Avg. eff. power lim. grid conn. pt. and set the total aggregate active power limit of all inverters present in the PV system.

8.8 Setting the Active Power Limitation in case of PV System Control Failure

You will need to set the active power limit in case of PV system control failure if you are operating an Integrated Storage System and the external active power limitation of the inverter is controlled by the Sunny Home Manager.

By setting the active power limitation in case of PV system control failure, you ensure that the inverter will still feed the maximum permissible PV power into the utility grid, even if communication between inverter and Sunny Home Manager has failed.

The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see Section8.5, page46).

Requirements:

☐ The firmware version of the inverter must be at least 2.4.0.R. ☐ The total installed PV power must be known.

8.9 Ensuring Communication with the Purchased Electricity Meter

Communication with the purchased electricity meter must only be ensured for a system with Sunny Boy Smart Energy and SMA Energy Meter. If you are operating an Integrated Storage System and have created a Sunny Home Manager system in Sunny Portal, this action will not be required.

The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see Section8.5, page46).

Procedure:

• Check whether the parameter Speedwire meter status is showing Ok. If the parameter is showing Ok, the inverter has detected the purchased electricity meter and

set up communication. If the parameter is not showing Ok, the inverter has not detected the purchased electricity

meter. The purchased electricity meter must be detected.

– Select the parameter Speedwire meter serial no. and enter the serial number of the

purchased electricity meter.

8.10 Deactivating Grounding Conductor Monitoring

If the inverter is to be installed in an IT network or another grid configuration in which deactivation of the grounding conductor monitoring is required, deactivate the grounding conductor monitoring as follows.

The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see Section8.5, page46).

Procedure:

• Set the parameter PE connection monitoring or PEOpnMon to Aus or Off.

8.11 Setting SMAOptiTracGlobalPeak

For partially shaded PV modules, you should set the interval at which the inverter is to optimize the MPP of the PV system.

The basic procedure for changing operating parameters is explained in another section (see Section8.5 "Changing Operating Parameters", page46).

Procedure:

• Select the parameter Cycle time of the OptiTrac Global Peak algorithm or MPPShdw.CycTms and set the required time interval. The ideal time interval is usually six

minutes. This value should only be increased if the shading situation changes extremely slowly.

☑ The inverter optimizes the MPP of the PV system at the predetermined time interval.
