Dump battery into a grid

hi,

is there a possibility to configure Multiplus to dump battery capacity back into grid? I would charge it from the sun, but would like to control when to send it back to the grid based on the electricity spot prices.

thank you

Hi Yes you can just turn on the export the power you require by using the GX device.

Yes, it can Export from Battery.

You will need external control if you want to dump based on a price.
This easily done using NodeRed running on a Cerbo GX.

I am happy to help.

hi, perfect. I've a Cerbo GX (small installation). So I would need the full installation including NodeRed? Or could I do it somehow for the time-being at least manualy?

Or how to instruct it via NodeRed - could you please point me to some doc?

thanks a lot,

Ondrej

If you want to do it manually buy changing the grid setpoint in the ESS menu. If you set it negative it will export.


NodeRed is really easy to active on the Cerbo, under the firmware menu just change the type to Large and click update, it will then install NodeRed. Once it has rebooted you can then go to the large features menu at the bottom and turn on NodeRed.

You can simply just use a node to control the ESS grid setpoint to different valves based on time.
