Overview
The INFICONTROL-5 Dynamic Logic Control panel solution integrates the
functionalities of metering, load management and control of distribution
energy resources (DER). Leveraging the customizable logic framework of
the INFICONTROL-5, users can easily define the priorities and control logics
for both loads and distributed energy sources. This aids businesses and
residential users in achieving objectives such as carbon reduction,
maximizing the utilization of renewable energy, and implementing grid
export limit.
A typical INFICONTROL-5 consists of an INFICONTROL5-CORE edge
controller, 2(net of main, solar PV)+N(loads) meters/metering circuits
(either three phase or single phase), an optional PV Ezy solar wireless
remote controller for embedded network scenarios, contactors/relays for
load and PV control, as well as circuit breakers, residual current protection
devices, current transformers and power supplies for the aforementioned
controllers. The controller software runs on the INFICONTROL5-CORE edge
controller.
The INFICONTROL-5 can be used either as a standalone panel solution or
part of the Fourier energy management system (EMS) for multi-dwelling
scenarios.
Features
INFICONTROL-5 alone:
•Multi-circuit Energy Measurement
Harmonised metering data and third-party meters to support different switchboards
Power demand calculation
Up to 15 single phase loads/DER or 5 three phase loads/DERs or a mix of both
Supports both RS485 or Ethernet metering devices
•Load and DER Control Logic
Demand management, load shedding, export control, load shifting, all in one controller, plug-setup-play
Pre-defined third-party DER interface, configuration via the Polaris PC software
•Easy Deploy and Operation
Configuration via the Polaris PC software
•M2M Interface
RS485 interface (Modbus master)
Ethernet interface (Modbus TCP server, Ethernet client)
Digital inputs/digital outputs
•Security
Password protection
Configurable Modbus TCP port
More Benefits if Used with FOURIER EMS and PV EZY:
•Remote and Wireless Grid Protection Mapping
For multi-dwelling embedded networks with an aggregated solar PV higher than 30kVA where grid protection relay is required per the AS4777 standard
Seamlessly mapping of the relay output of grid protection relay to each PV point
Centralized monitoring of PV and grid protection relay mapping
•Data Collection, Storage and Analysis
Circuit level general power and energy data logging up to 5 years
Circuit level energy usage anomaly analysis
Potential third party analysis service expansion
•Dynamic Demand and Export Control for Embedded Network
Site level demand and export control by managing each INFICONTROL-5 within the network
•Cloud Interface and Data Visualization
Cloud access to site level data and visualization for a better customer engagement
Pipeline for potential servicing business build-up
Applications
Customer (both commercial and residential) wants a better control of their loads and DER, a better control of when to turn-on their loads to maximize the usage of clean energy and reduce their energy bill
Embedded network where the aggregated solar PV is higher than 30kVA where the extra grid protection requirements apply
Embedded network with both prosumers and consumers where export limit applies, and the embedded network manager needs a better and smart way of controlling the export of solar energy while also wants to maximise the solar PV generation
