The latest version of NodeRed still doesn’t have the ability to control the inverter’s built in charger to limit rate of charge, correct?
Nope. That is what dvcc is for.
Except DVCC doesn’t allow granular control, and it also doesn’t allow me to limit charging from the inverter in favor of solar (and yes I have prefer renewables enabled).
with just DVCC in can’t force the inverter to use solar/batteries for AC loads.
Yes but if you use min soc manipulation you can stop the grid charging.
Change the approach, there are many ways to achieve the desired outcome.
One common one it to set the min soc 2% behind the current soc.
A different way not even using node red in the gui is to set the sheduled charge up in ess and set use pv and or battery above a certian percentage in different windows.
For charging amps from grid changing that is a bit more complex.
What about using the venus settings control node to control ‘max charging power’?
iirc that only exists when DVCC is disabled.
I cant use ESS, this is on a boat.
Its the charging form the grid that I am trying to limit. But I have large loads like air conditioners that make me not want to limit AC input. I basically want to force the inverter into assist mode and let my solar cover that bill.
Ah ok. Then try look at combining the chareg control programmed assistant combined with node red trigger or something. (Half baked idea)
Does the wind solar priority not work for you?
No, while it does a decent job of separating DC loads from AC loads, I want to use my solar to power my AC loads. I have enough solar to do that, and when off grid and not using AirCon, everything is great. But when I have shore power, I want to be able to utilize some/all of my solar thru the inverter to power some of the AC loads.
Currently, I have the ability to limit shore power coming in, but if i set it low enough it will use batteries to assist with household loads, then when an AirCon kicks on, that is too low. If I set it high enough to cover the AirCon, then I dont get any assist throughout the day.
If I could dynamically limit charging done by the Quattro, then I could fully utilize my solar, but leave the input current high enough to handle the large loads.
Those all look to be DC voltage based if I read them correctly.
edit: I see the fixed dc charge value…
edit 2: thinking about it more, this will accomplish the same thing
Apparently. I checked my charging flow, which I did not write myself, and it is altering settings based on ESS being enabled or not. Have now disabled it to see what happens
