Overview

The Dyness B3 is a lithium iron phosphate battery energy storage system designed to provide energy for photovoltaic power generation users through parallel combination. This product is suitable for energy storage applications with high operating temperatures, limited installation space, long power backup time, and long service life. It can store extra electricity from photovoltaic power generation systems in the daytime and supply stable power to users' equipment as power backup at nighttime or any time when needed. It improves the efficiency of photovoltaic power generation and increases electric power efficiency by peak load shifting.

Usage Features

To start the battery system after electrical installation, users should refer to the DIP switch description (Section 2.3.1) to prepare the battery module. Then, press the ON/OFF button to the ON position and hold the SW button for 3 seconds. After the indicator self-test, the RUN indicator will light up, and the SOC indicator will be on, indicating a 100% SOC status.

When the battery system is running, users should regularly check the battery status indicators on the front panel. If the battery status indicator continues to be red after pressing the power button, it indicates a potential issue that requires attention. In such cases, users should refer to the "Alarm description and processing" section (Section 4.2) for troubleshooting. If the failure cannot be resolved, it is recommended to contact the dealer.

To ensure proper operation, users should use a voltmeter to measure whether the voltage of the circuit breaker battery access terminal is higher than 42V and verify that the voltage polarity is consistent with the inverter input polarity. If the battery input terminal has a voltage output greater than 42V, the battery is working normally. After confirming the correct battery output voltage and polarity, the inverter should be turned on, and the circuit breaker closed. Users should then check if the indicators for the inverter and battery connection (communication indicator and battery access status indicator) are normal. If they are, the connection between the battery and the inverter is successful. If the indicator light is abnormal, users should consult the inverter manual for the cause or contact the dealer.

The battery system supports various operational modes, including charging and discharging. During charging, the battery charges until it reaches its maximum capacity or until the charge current drops below a certain threshold. During discharge, the battery supplies power to the inverter until its voltage reaches the shut-down voltage or its SOC drops to the cut-off SOC.

The system also includes various protection features to ensure safe operation. These include over-current protection, high-temperature protection, total voltage undervoltage protection, and cell voltage undervoltage protection. When any of these protection modes are activated, the system will trigger an alarm and stop the relevant operation (charging or discharging) to prevent damage to the battery.

For parallel connection, the master battery communicates with the slaves through the CAN interface, summarizing the information of the entire battery system and communicating with the inverter through CAN or 485. The communication cable from the master CAN IN to the inverter communication port should be correct. When the battery works with specific inverter brands (GOODWE, Solis, LUX, Sofar, DEYE (SUNSYNK), VICTRON, IMEON, Sungrow, SMA, RENAC, DELIOS, SAJ (CAN Comm)), users need to put the master DIP switch "#3" to the "ON" position (to the top), then turn on the batteries. If the battery communicates with other brands (Axpert-king/VMIII/MAX, Infinisolar, Growatt SPH/SPA (CAN comm), GMDE), users should turn the master DIP switch "#2" to "ON" position. For communication with Growatt SPF HVM-P/ES/WPV by RS485, users should turn the master DIP switch "#2" and "#3" to "ON". If the battery communicates with the Schneider Conext Series, users should turn the master DIP switch "#1" and "#3" to "ON". When setting the master DIP as setting 1-4, all the slaves keep the DIP 0000, no need to change. If the battery module is in communication with the ICC by 485 communication, users should turn the master DIP switch "#1" and "#4" to "ON". The DIP switch of slaves needs to be turned to the "ON" at the same time while the master is setting 5. If the energy storage system has only one B3, it is the master itself, and users should follow the above steps.

Maintenance Features

The battery system is designed for long-term reliability, but regular checks and maintenance are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Alarm Description and Processing: When a protection mode is activated or a system failure occurs, an alarm signal will be given through the working status indicator on the front panel of the B3. The network management system can query specific alarm categories. If the battery status indicator continues to be red after pressing the power button, users should refer to the "Alarm description and processing" section. If the failure cannot be eliminated, contact the dealer promptly.

Troubleshooting Common Faults:

  • Indicator does not respond after power on: This could be due to a total voltage lower than 35V. The solution is to check the total voltage.
  • No DC output: This indicates that the battery data status is abnormal, or the battery has entered over-discharged protection. Users should read the battery information on the monitor.
  • DC power supply time is too short: This suggests that the battery capacity has become smaller. The solution is to store battery replacements or add more modules.
  • Battery can't be fully charged to 100%: This might be due to charging voltage being too low. Users should adjust the charging voltage to 53.5V or 54V.
  • Power cable sparks once power on and ALM light RED: This indicates a power connection short-circuit. Users should turn off the battery and check the cause of the short-circuit.
  • Communication fault: This can be caused by incorrect DIP settings for the master, wrong battery type for the inverter, incorrectly used communication cable, or the battery firmware version being too low to support the inverter. Users should check these possible causes one by one.

Battery Management System (BMS): The BMS continuously monitors the battery's health and protects it from various issues.

  • Low Voltage Protection in Discharging: When any battery cell voltage or total voltage is lower than the rated protection value during discharging, the over-discharging protection is activated, and the battery buzzer makes an alarm sound. The battery system stops supplying power to the outside.
  • Over Voltage Protection in Charging: The battery stops charging when total voltage or any battery cell voltage reaches the rated protection value during charging stage. When total voltage or all cell back to rated range, the protection is over.
  • Over Current Protection in Charging: When the charge current is greater than 45A, current limit protection mode is activated, and the current is limited to ±3A. Protection is removed after rated time delaying 10S. Circulate this until the current is lower than 45A.
  • Over Current Protection in Discharging: When the discharge current is higher than the protection value, the battery buzzer alarms, and the system stops discharging. Protection is released after rated time delaying.
  • Temperature Protection: The battery system is protected against extreme temperatures. Low/Over temperature protection in charging and discharging ensures that the battery operates within safe temperature ranges. If the temperature exceeds the limits, the battery stops charging or discharging. Protection is over when the temperature returns to the rated working range.
  • Short Circuit Protection: When the battery is activated from the shutdown state, if a short circuit occurs, the system starts short-circuit protection for 60 seconds.
  • Self-Shutdown: If the device connects no external loads and power supply and no external communication for over 72 hours, the device will dormant standby automatically.
