Advanced PV

Paid Feature - Only available for some customers

This feature is only available to certain customers. If you are interested in using this feature, please contact Zepben for more information.

Advanced PV (also referred to as Volt-Var) lets PV inverters actively regulate voltage by controlling reactive (Volt-VAr) and/or active (Volt-Watt) power output, instead of being modelled as simple generators.

It is configured via inverterControlConfig (HcInverterControlConfigInput), which assigns an inverter control profile to PV systems based on a cut-off commissioning date. Profiles themselves are defined in the inverter_control_profiles table, and support VOLTVAR, VOLTWATT, or combined VV_VW modes.

For forecast (scenario-allocated) PV systems, the commissionedDate used against the cut-off defaults to January 1st of the forecast year, as noted in Scenarios.
