The Dess software for some reason does not seem to stop the balancing feature. Is there a specific reason for this?
What are the requirements for Victron to release this again and to start using the battery on trade mode again?
I don’t think this was a schedule-thing.
Just checked your system, and it reported DESS to be disabled until 30 minutes ago and for the past 30 hours.
Then, normal ESS-behaviour applies. Do have configured ESS as “Keep Batteries charged”?
Yes it was a scheduled act, 2 days ago we got our first message that battery balancing from DESS was scheduled. As 2 days ago it wasn’t able to get the batteries to fully charge till 100% it delayed it until yesterday.
edit: When I’m currently looking at my VRM I also can’t see the notification anymore. This doesn’t show up anymore. Last time it properly did this was on the 23rd of Febuary
Yesterday it activated this but it did not disable the battery balancing. Yesterday I changed the interval of this battery balancing from 28 days to 60 days. As the loss of profit was quite substantial. This was done by Me, user “lars” at 18:15, but I did not change any other parameters. Today when i woke up I saw it still was not out of the Battery balancing. As the ESS battery life state still showed keep batteries charged, which I believe is normal behaviour for DESS when it activates the Battery balancing Cycle. I decided to disable this Battery balancing feature at 13:45 as we have already lost an entire day worth of trading. But as the ESS battery life state still did not change. I then manually disabled DESS to ESS to manually change the ESS battery state from “Keep batteries charged” To “External Control” to then change it back to “BL without Battery life” And Then turned back on the DESS. at around 13:57. It now seems like it will start discharging again when prices increase at around 17:00. But I will only now if DESS works like it is intended at 17:00.
As you can see I have not changed the DESS settings at 30 hours ago. This should have been at approximately 9AM. This is when the DESS activated the Battery balancing feature based on the given interval. For some reason this Battery balancing feature did not meet certain requirements for the system to go back to normal DESS.
