There is “MIN SOC” option in Dynamic ESS. Would be good to have another battery level option, below which Dynamic ESS will cease selling energy to grid and use remaining battery capacity to support AC loads to maintain zero grid import. For instance “MIN SOC” 25% and “NO SELL” 50%. Currently ESS fr…

It’s always discharging to min soc (mine is 30%) [image] [image]

It is a good idea with an extra setting we can help the system. But what we need is that Dess not start buying and wait until prices are low. The system is so busy with the SOC-value that it forgets to look at the best price.

+1 I would like this option of a lower treshold for selling too :slight_smile: Maybe something to add: stop the EVCS while selling in high tarif to the lower DESS treshold start charging again after selling to the lower treshold ESS

Greetings from Finland 3 days old system and learning to use DESS. Battery 280Ah@48V. It is winter in Finland now and the panels are not producing anything. Electricity prices vary greatly so I was hoping there would be limits to charging and/or discharging the battery. For example, the battery is…

Same “problem” today, the battery is fed into the grid and recharged in the next hour even though there are more expensive hours ahead. I assume that DESS takes into account the efficiency of the system. Where can I change the efficiency? [2024-11-22-wrong-time-to-disscharge]

Because I have actived blocking of battery discharging to grid, the bigger deal in Trade mode for me is using power from PV instead of using power from grid in case of negative price… https://community.victronenergy.com/t/vrm-feature-announcement-manage-negative-energy-prices-in-dynamic-ess Better …

I experience the same problem, DESS sells to much electricity in the evening. When in the evening, night or the morning some device uses more energy than predicted the electricity is bought from the grid while it’s more expensive than when it was sold causing loss. A configurable dess minimum soc m…

That’s right, I proposed a second minimum SOC a month ago, but there was no response to this.

Can @mpvader or @dognose please respond to this?

Hi all! In the first version of DESS in BETA, we actually had this. We opted that since DESS already had so many settings to consider, for the first roll out it would not be clear enough what ‘DESS MIN SOC’ would do. Now that we have advanced settings in Dynamic ESS, and considering that so many o…

Hi, this is in internal testing currently, so I expect this to be rolled out in August.
