Self consumption on another meter than the grid meter

When enabled, the self-consumption strategy will use the selected sub-meter as the reference point instead of the main grid meter. This is useful when self-consumption should be measured at a specific sub-meter in the installation rather than at the grid connection point. Note: the selected meter must be a power meter that is part of the installation. By default this feature is disabled.

Sometimes there are contractual agreements that a part of an installations should not be included in the self-consumption optimization. Imagine the scenario below: This can be a company that has a special contract for his 'sub site' with only solar production, and gets a fixed (high) injection fee for the energy produced by his solar production produced by this sub installation.consumption

Therefore, we'd like to exclude this part of the installation from the self-consumption control, but still guard or import and export limits on grid connection point.

This can be enabled -if and only if- both a grid meter and a secondary 'self-consumption meter' is installed. Then, follow the steps below:

1. On the settings page, scroll down to navigate to the 'advanced settings'.

2. Enable the feature by checking the box. Note that this only possible when (apart from the grid meter) at least one other meter is installed.

3. Select the meter you'd like to use for self-consumption. You can't select the grid meter, because that would beat the whole purpose of this feature.

4. Click on save.
