The Cerbo displays the dashboard correctly of the following setup:
-3-phase grid connected to 3 Multiplusses via AC-in, no loads on AC-in except a VM-3P75CT energy meter. All loads are on AC-out 1 (AC-out 2 is not used).
-On the Cerbo, the ‘Position of AC loads’ setting is set to ‘AC output only’.
However, the VRM dashboard shows ‘AC Loads’ and ‘Critical Loads’.
How do I update VRM to display all loads under ‘AC Loads’ only and remove the ‘Critical Loads’ display? Should it not follow the settings as set on the Cerbo?
In ESS, you have set “AC output in use”. Disable that.
As per the manual:
4.3.3. Inverter AC output in use
Setting this to ‘Disabled’ hides the AC-out graphic in the overview pane. Use this in systems where there is nothing connected to the output of the Multi or Quattro, which is typical for certain grid-parallel systems in Western Europe.
Thanks for the reply. Correct, that is set, but I actually have everything/my entire house connected to AC-out 1, no loads except a Victron energy meter are connected to AC-in.
The Cerbo displays it correctly, so isn’t this a VRM issue?
Maybe the realtime is not really working well? I say this because the scrren energy does not match the dash (not even referring to the ac loads)
The grid meter may be set incorrectly. Usually when you see loads before the inverter it is because the meter has been configured like that. (Is its role set to grid meter?)
Also i see many discrepancies anyway like where the heck is the 15kW being fed to grid coming from? The dash shows not much from the battery. I am leaning toward an streaming update or config issue.
The issue is that the Cerbo displays it as it should be but the VRM environment does not. And I believe that the VRM environment should display it as the Cerbo does.
Yes, it’s all working well, realtime and the grid meter as well. Grid metering is set to External meter.
The 15kW is coming from the batteries, see ‘Discharging -20.7kW’ in the VRM environment.
It’s like VRM has ‘Position of AC loads’ set to ‘AC input & output’, but the setting is ‘AC output only’. The Cerbo knows it, VRM apparently doesn’t.
The grid meter is a VM-3P75CT, connected via ethernet. It’s setup as a grid meter. AC loads is set to AC output only.
I’m certainly no expert, but I can’t think of anything misconfigured. The system, including Dynamic ESS is working beautifully. And as I mentioned earlier, the overview of the Cerbo does display it correctly: all loads under ‘AC Loads’, no critical loads section.
The issue is still there. Obviously it’s not critical, but annoying. Again, the Cerbo displays it correctly, it must be a VRM environment/display issue…
Would deleting the Cerbo from VRM and then re-adding it help? I guess that that would reset all that Dynamic ESS has ‘learned’ so far?
Maybe try the official and not beta firmware as well as check what happens if you remove the energy meter and set measuring to inverter? Why the meter if all the loads are going through the inverter?
I upgraded to the beta firmware as the issue was present with the official one. That didn’t change anything.
But I just changed the ESS Grid metering setting to Inverter/Changer and that actually does the trick. Thanks for the suggestion!
Still a bit confused though… I thought is was a good idea to measure directly behind the main fuses as the Multiplusses are 40 meters away from the house. I guess my VM-3CP75 is obsolete now.
