The 48 VNOM Blue Ion 2.0 battery is designed to be compatible with the majority of charge controllers and inverters that work with traditional lead acid batteries.

By setting the bulk, absorb, float, and equalize set points to the same value, we are overriding the logic of the chargers to allow the full power of the charging source to be applied to the Battery Management Unit. In this way, the Battery Management Unit (BMU) is monitoring each battery module for current, temperature, and voltage precisely balancing each cell in every module. When the battery modules have reached the recommended highest voltage of 55.2 VDC and an associated 100% State of Charge, the programming of the charging set points simply turns the charging source off.

The inverter settings in this application note are meant to better match the performance of the Blue Ion 2.0 Energy Storage System to the capabilities of the SMA inverters and maximize the usable system performance. Each project has its own variables that must be accounted for when setting inverter parameters. Carefully review these settings, they can be changed to optimize the performance of your particular system.

With the Sunny Island’s Quick Configuration Guide (QCG), you can configure the settings required for operation. Step by step, the QCG requests the required settings for the system. Parameter setting for a cluster takes place centrally at the master. All slaves adopt the configuration automatically.

The Sunny Island, which is connected to a Sunny Remote Control when starting to configure a new system, automatically becomes the master.

• During configuration, only the master may be connected to a Sunny Remote Control.

• For a multicluster system, each cluster must be configured individually at the master.

Requirements:

• All circuit breakers in the AC distribution board must be open.
  

• All Sunny Island inverters must be closed.
  

• All Sunny Island inverters must be switched off
