Notifying Scholt
Scholt will require information about the SmartgridOne Controller before they can control any assets.
This includes the SmartgridOne Controller Serial Number, and the SiteID, which is the same as the Serial Number with '_site_0' appended at the end.
Add 'Scholt' External Signal
In the next page, you have the option to include/exclude devices for remote control. Ensure to mark all checkboxes of devices you'd like to include.
When using multiple batteries, they are aggregated into one (virtual) asset.
'Scholt' is now set up on the SmartgridOne Controller.
When Scholt External Control is added, the SmartgridOne Controller algorithm has no control over the battery's behaviour.
Control Modes
Scholt can send three different control strategies, based on the energy markets.
-
Charging/Discharging on Imbalance Costs- When imbalance prices are favourable, Scholt will instruct the batteries to charge/discharge at maximum capacity.
-
Idle- Scholt can instruct the battery to be idle (Setpoint zero).
-
Self-Consumption- Scholt can instruct the battery to follow an adapted self-consumption algorithm, usign excess PV power to charge the battery. This differs from normal self-consumption, as the battery will not discharge to on-site consumption.
