8.1 Why active power control?
Some countries or local energy supply companies may
stipulate that the full power of the PV system must not
be fed into the public grid (e.g. by limiting it to just 70%).
In this case, some energy supply companies therefore
oer the owners of PV systems the possibility of have
the energy supply company regulate their system using
a variable active power control, and thus increasing the
feed-in to up to 100% again.
Ask your energy supply company what application rule
applies to you.
The planner of a PV system can usually choose between
two types of active power control:
n
Limitation of the feed-in capacity to a defined per-
centage of the PV power at the grid connection point
Ch. 8.2
n
Active power control with a ripple control receiver
Ch. 8.3
INFO
When selecting active power control,
check to determine which of the two
possibilities oers the better energy
yield for you.
