The AD-PVO 6100 GT photovoltaic optimizer monitors the feed-in of any surplus PV energy at a building’s main connection. If the feed-in power exceeds a limit value parameterized by the operator, up to three independent load relays can be activated. These three load relays can be individually parameterized and can therefore switch loads either in phases or in steps to the total power. These switching relays can now be used to control electrical loads (e.g. electric heating element in the domestic hot water tank of the heating system, air conditioning unit or heat pump). With the AD-PVO 6100 GT, the energy is converted on site and not fed back into the public low-voltage grid. The use of this device optimizes PV systems for self-consumption and reduces the load on the public low-voltage grid. The AD-PVO 6100 GT also has various interfaces (RS485, Ethernet, WLAN, USB) for parameterizing the device or reading out measured values. A log function can be implemented with a USB stick. The temperature input can be used, for example, to measure storage temperatures and implement switch-offs and switch-overs. The two digital inputs can be parameterized as blocking inputs, for example, to ensure correct function in connection with an electrical battery storage system. The analog standard signal output or the PWM output can be used, for example, for stepless control of heating elements or pumps.
All relevant measured values can be read on the integrated LC display. The device can be parameterized via a WEB interface or via the Adamczewski parameterization software AD-Studio. It can be integrated into the local network via Ethernet cable or WLAN radio connection.
