Hi Jochen, saw you remark quickly checked my setup and EVCS. I see no strange spikes here (atm). So it’s probably not a ‘general problem’.
Have you noticed any other ‘out of ordinary’ events, power cut or brown out, or were changes made to the system or firmware? (FW versions and devices?)
I am not in a position to solve or help as an expert but maybe other might recognise things based on the extra context.
Regards
How exactly is your setup? Victron EVCS or external one and a evcharger meter?
Some third-party-script there? and which venus version are you using?
What happens here is that the forever incremental-counter of the evcharger apparently resets to 0 for a split second. So, 31,51 → 0 → 31.51.
When the 0 is coming in, the system assumes a counter reset and starts over. When the 31.5 Counter is restored, it immediately concludes 31.51 kWh charged.
@dognose The setup is 2x3 MPII 3k in parallel, Cerbo running Venus OS large 3.65 and Victron EVCS FW 2.05. No 3rd party skripts, just a good bit of node red flows. Portal ID #395035. In addition the EVCS changes it’s position from AC IN to AC out regularly. Location has been up and running for +2 years.
This is my son’s installation, I have a pretty similar one with identical FW and without any of the a.m. issues. Both run simple ESS and no D-ESS.
What I have been seeing on both since a couple of days are strange consumption and production forecast for day 0 and day 1, maybe linked to the split-up of EVCS consumption forecast. No idea if there is any corellation. At least the ‘fake EVCS consumption’ of today is still shown in today’s System Overview as prognosed EVCS charging.
If you need more info let me know.
BRGDS Jochen
I just had the same issue last night. My EVCS on VRM shows 2791kWh charged in a single hour… clearly impossible. There is no actual power usage from battery or grid, so seems to be just an anomaly with the statistics.
I have a single 8kW Multiplus II, EVCS on the input side. Two Fronius grid tie inverters (obviously idle at 2am), and a single Victron MPPT (obviously also idle). The car was also not plugged in at all during this time.
that seems strange.
