PV String Access Detection

● PV string access detection applies to large-scale commercial ground PV plants
with PV strings facing the same direction.
● In AC or DC power limiting scenarios:
– If the PV string access type has not been identified, PV string access type
will be displayed as Disconnection. The PV string access type can be
identified only when the solar inverters restore to the non-power limiting
state and the current of all connected PV strings reaches the startup
current.
– If the PV string access type has been identified, when a certain PV string
connected to the 2-in-1 terminals is lost, no alarm will be generated. If a
certain PV string connected to the 2-in-1 terminals is restored, the access
type cannot be identified. You can determine whether both 2-in-1 PV
strings are restored only when the PV string current reaches Startup
current for 2-in-1 detection.
● After setting the parameters, you can go to the Running Info. tab page to
check whether the PV string connection status is normal.

Parameter Description

Schedule strategy The value can be Disable, Strategy 1, or Strategy 2.

● Disable: The SmartLogger controls the solar
inverter to work at full load and will not receive
scheduling commands sent by the management
system.
● Strategy 1: Open-loop scheduling policy. That is,
the SmartLogger evenly allocates the power value
from the scheduling and delivers the average value
to each solar inverter, which then operates with the
specific power. The adjustment value delivered by
the SmartLogger is constant. If Adjustment
coefficient is set, the power value will be sent to
the solar inverter after being multiplied by the
preset coefficient.
● Strategy 2: The customized function is provided for
a specific power plant. Set Overshoot, Adjustment
period, and Adjustment deadband based on the
scheduling requirements of the power plant.
– Overshoot: Indicates the maximum overshoot
percentage during adjustment. If a PV plant
cannot reach the preset target value due to
factors such as insufficient sunlight, the set
target value is the current value plus the
overshoot.
– Adjustment period: Indicates the time required
from adjustment instruction delivery, solar
inverter response to the instruction, to the
detection of the preceding actions by the
SmartLogger.
– Adjustment deadband: Indicates the
percentage of the adjustment deviation value to
the rated output capacity. In the adjustment
deadband, strategy 2 does not deliver control
instructions but still detects the deviation in real
time.

that the circuit breaker is switched off, the DO port of the SmartLogger and
the relay will be switched off, and the SmartLogger will restore to the initial
state.
NOTE

Connect the DO ports in series to the 12 V power supply loop of the relay coils. You are
advised to use the 12 V power output port on the SmartLogger to power the relay coils. You
can also prepare a 12 V power supply.

CAUTION

In the scenario with a circuit breaker, place the power supply of the SmartLogger
before the circuit breaker to avoid the SmartLogger power-off after the DO
switches off the circuit breaker.

6.4.5 Setting Parameters for Smart Reactive Power

Compensation
Context
The smart reactive power compensation algorithm obtains the power data of the
gateway power meter through the SmartLogger, performs intelligent algorithm
analysis, adjusts the reactive power output of the solar inverter, optimizes the
power factor of the gateway, and reduces or avoids power factor charge to
increase the energy yield of the PV plant.

NOTE

● Before setting the parameters, ensure that the solar inverters are connected to the
SmartLogger.
● If a power meter is connected to the SmartLogger, the power meter access procedure in
the wizard is only used as a check guide. If no power meter is connected to the
SmartLogger, add a power meter by following the wizard.
● Before setting the parameters, ensure that the license for smart reactive power
compensation has been loaded on the Maintenance > License Management page.

Procedure
Step 1 Set parameters as prompted. For details, click Help on the page.

7.4.6 Managing Licenses

Context
The smart I-V curve diagnosis, smart PV string monitoring, smart tracking
algorithm, and smart reactive power compensation functions can be used only
after a license is purchased.

The license files for smart I-V curve diagnosis and smart PV string monitoring
need to be stored in the solar inverter, and the license files for smart tracking
algorithm and smart reactive power compensation need to be stored in the
SmartLogger. The matching between the SN of a device and a license is unique.

License management allows you to view the license information about the solar
inverter and obtain the current license status. Before a device is replaced, the
current device license needs to be revoked so that the revocation code can be
generated and used for applying for a new device license.

The size of the license file imported to the SmartLogger must be less than 1 MB.
Otherwise, the page will be abnormal.

El tamaño del archivo de licencia importado al SmartLogger debe ser inferior a 1

MB. De lo contrario, el estado de la página no será normal.

Procedure

8.2 How Do I Set FTP Parameters?

Context
The FTP function is used to access a third-party NMS. The SmartLogger can report
the configuration information and running data of the managed PV plant system
through FTP. A third-party NMS can access Huawei devices after being configured.
FTP is a universal standard protocol without any security authentication
mechanism. Data transmitted by FTP is not encrypted. To reduce network security
risks, the IP address of the connected third-party FTP server is left blank by
default. This protocol can transmit the running data of PV plants, which may
cause user data breach. Therefore, exercise caution when using this protocol. Users
are liable for any loss caused by the enabling of the FTP protocol (non-secure
protocol). Users are advised to take measures at the PV plant level to reduce
security risks, or use Huawei management system to mitigate the risks.
