General information

1. General information
1.1 Automatic Sustainable Controller
The Automatic Sustainable Controller (ASC-4) is a controller designed to serve as a link between sustainable
power plants and genset plants, combining them so they work as one common hybrid plant.
The concept of the ASC-4 is to maximise sustainable power penetration, depending on the total load demand
to the hybrid without compromising constraints such as minimum genset load demand.

Application information

2. Application information
2.1 ASC-4 Solar
The ASC-4 Solar is the variant designed for PV control, and it enables integration of PV power and genset
power.

2.1.1 Basic rule of operation

The PV plant is handled as a base loading power- and reactive power provider, not as a voltage- and frequency provider. Therefore, the ASC-4 only operates the PV in case either utility or a genset constitutes a
grid to which the PV can dispatch power.

2.1.2 Minimum genset load

A minimum genset load constraint is available in the ASC-4. The constraint applies in off-grid operation only.
This constraint will cause the PV penetration to decrease if it is compromised. This is to secure a certain
amount of load on the gensets and in this way eliminate the risk of reverse power situations and impure combustion and exhaust problems. In grid-tied operation the minimum genset load must be handled locally by
each individual genset.

2.1.3 Spinning reserve

Settings for determination of the necessary spinning reserve in the genset plant are included. The spinning
reserve is towards the power that is produced by the PV plant. Hence the settings determine how much spinning reserve the genset plant should keep to compensate for a potential decrease in PV production. Spinning
reserve applies to power management applications only.

2.1.4 Power ramp

To avoid potential oscillations in the hybrid, the ASC-4 provides both active and reactive power ramp-up/
ramp-down functionality. This is to be able to control the rate of change of power references for the PV plant
and thereby provide the genset plant time to adapt to the changes in the PV production.

2.2 Application types

The ASC-4 supports two types of applications:

Stand-alone applications
Power management applications

The ASC-4 must be equipped with option G5 to be able to do power management applications.

2.2.1 Stand-alone applications

In stand-alone solutions, the ASC-4 does not have much information about the surrounding environment in
which it is located. Based on transducer power readings and hardwired feedbacks alone, the ASC-4 determines the power references to the PV plant. This approach can be applied to integrate PV power in already
commissioned genset plants, whether they are equipped with DEIF controllers or not. The ASC-4 can do both
pure off-grid, pure grid-tied and a combination of the two.

The maximum capability of the stand-alone applications is 16 gensets, one mains and one PV plant.
The ASC-4 supports four different plant modes:

Island mode
Fixed power mode
Mains power export mode
Peak shaving mode

Island mode:
When the ASC-4 is in island mode and only gensets are connected to the busbar, the PV power references
are determined on the basis of genset power and reactive power transducer readings alone. The active power reference is maximised to the limit dictated by the minimum genset load constraint. If the gensets are either in reverse power state or being overloaded, the power ramp will be skipped. For reactive power, it can be
selected whether the PV plant should contribute with reactive power production to have the PV plant match
the same cos phi as the genset plant, or whether the PV plant should not contribute with reactive power at all.
In any case, if gensets are driven outside of their capability, the PV plant will pick up the surplus of reactive
power. If the PV plant itself is driven outside of its capability, it can be selected whether to prioritise active or
reactive production.
Fixed power mode:
When the ASC-4 is in fixed power mode and either mains or genset is connected to the busbar, the PV power
reference is determined by the fixed power reference setting in the ASC-4. If mains is connected to busbar,
the reactive power reference is determined by the reactive power reference setting in the ASC-4 and may
depend on the mains reactive power transducer reading, if the selected reactive reference method dictates it.
The ASC-4 can take in external active and reactive power references. The references can be applied as
hardwired signals or via communication. This makes the ASC-4 suitable for IPP applications as well.
If only gensets are connected, the minimum genset load constraint will be observed and power ramps will be
skipped if the gensets are either in reverse power state or being overloaded. It can be selected whether the
PV plant should contribute with reactive power production to have the PV plant match the same cos phi as
the genset plant, or whether the PV plant should not contribute with reactive power at all. In any case, if gensets are driven outside of their capability, the PV plant will pick up the surplus of reactive power. If the PV
plant itself is driven outside of its capability, it can be selected whether to prioritise active or reactive production.

Application information

Mains power export and peak shaving mode:

When the ASC-4 is in mains power export or peak shaving mode and a mains is connected to the busbar, the
PV power reference is determined by a combination of reference setting in the ASC-4 and the mains power
transducer reading. The reactive power reference is determined by the reactive power reference setting in the
ASC-4 and may depend on the mains reactive power transducer reading, if the selected reactive reference
method dictates it. When the mains power export mode is used, the ASC-4 is able to keep both zero active
power and zero reactive power across the point of connection. This makes the ASC-4 suitable for self-consumption applications as well.
If only gensets are connected, the minimum genset load constraint will be observed and power ramps will be
skipped if the gensets are in reverse power state. It can be selected whether the PV plant should contribute
with reactive power production to have the PV plant match the same cos phi as the genset plant, or whether
the PV plant should not contribute with reactive power at all. In any case, if gensets are driven outside of their
capability, the PV plant will pick up the surplus of reactive power. If the PV plant itself is driven outside of its
capability, it can be selected whether to prioritise active or reactive production.
The ASC-4 can be operated in Auto mode or in Semi mode.
Auto mode:
When the ASC-4 is in auto mode, it can be started if the PVB is closed by means of the auto start/stop input,
or via auto start/stop Modbus commands. The PVB will be closed if either mains or any genset is connected
to the busbar, applying suitable voltage and frequency.
Semi mode:
When the ASC-4 is in semi mode, the PVB can be opened/closed manually by means of the ASC-4 display
buttons, or remotely via digital inputs or Modbus commands. If the PVB is closed, and if either mains or any
genset is connected to the busbar, applying suitable voltage and frequency, the PV plant can be started/stopped manually by means of the ASC-4 display buttons, or remotely via digital inputs or Modbus commands.

2.2.2 Power management applications

In the DEIF power management solution, the ASC-4 is fully integrated in the DEIF Application Configuration
and SuperVision PC tool. The ASC-4 is connected to the CAN bus that constitutes the internal DEIF power
management communication link. For that reason, this approach is only applicable if the genset plant is
equipped with AGC-4 or AGC 200 controllers from DEIF. The DEIF power management system fully integrates the PV plant and the genset plant. The ASC-4 can do both pure off-grid, pure grid-tied and a combination
of the two.

The maximum capability of the power management applications is 16 gensets, 16 mains and eight PV plants.
The ASC-4 supports five different plant modes:

Application information

Island mode
Fixed power mode
Mains power export mode
Peak shaving mode
Power management mode

Island mode:
The same functionality as described in the paragraph "Stand-alone applications", except that the power and
reactive power data from gensets and mains are received on the internal communication link.
Fixed power mode:
The same functionality as described in the paragraph "Stand-alone applications", except that the power and
reactive power data from gensets and mains are received on the internal communication link.
Mains power export and peak shaving mode:
The same functionality as described in the paragraph "Stand-alone applications", except that the power and
reactive power data from gensets and mains are received on the internal communication link.
Power management mode:
When the ASC-4 is in power management mode, the overall mode is determined by the genset plant. It will
follow the mode of the mains unit(s) if such is (are) present in the application, or - if not - it will be forced into
island mode.
In case only gensets are connected to the busbar, the PV references are determined on the basis of genset
power and reactive power data received on the internal communication link. The active power reference is
maximised to the limit dictated by the minimum genset load constraint. If the gensets are either in reverse
power state or being overloaded, the power ramp will be skipped. For reactive power, it can be selected
whether the PV plant should contribute with reactive power production to have the PV plant match the same
cos phi as the genset plant, or whether the PV plant should not contribute with reactive power at all. In any
case, if gensets are driven outside of their capability, the PV plant will pick up the surplus of reactive power. If
the PV plant itself is driven outside of its capability, it can be selected whether to prioritise active or reactive
production.
If mains is connected to the busbar, the PV power reference is received from the genset plant via the internal
communication link. The reactive power reference is determined by the reactive power reference setting in
the ASC-4 and may depend on the mains reactive power, if the selected reactive reference method dictates
it. The reactive power reference can also be received from the genset plant if this is preferred.
The AGC-4 Mains and AGC 246 can take in external active and reactive power references. The references
can be applied as hardwired signals or via communication. This makes the system suitable for IPP applications as well. When the mains power export mode is used in the AGC-4 Mains or AGC 246, it enables the
system to keep zero power across the point of connection. This makes the system suitable for self-consumption applications as well.
The ASC-4 can be operated in Auto mode or in Semi mode.
Auto mode:
When the ASC-4 is in auto mode, it will close the PV breaker and start the PV plant whenever suitable voltage and frequency are present on the busbar and:

at least one genset in auto mode is connected to the busbar, or

a mains is connected to the busbar and auto start is applied on the AGC-4 mains unit.

Semi mode:
When the ASC-4 is in semi mode, the PVB can be opened/closed manually by means of the ASC-4 display
buttons, or remotely via digital inputs or Modbus commands. If the PVB is closed, and if either mains or any
genset is connected to the busbar, applying suitable voltage and frequency, the PV plant can be started/stopped manually by means of the ASC-4 display buttons, or remotely via digital inputs or Modbus commands.

2.3 Inverter interfacing

The ASC-4 offers protocol interface to the inverters listed below:

FSC SMA
DEIF Open
SunSpec Generic
SunSpec SMA
SunSpec Fronius
ConextCL Schneider Electric
TRIO ABB
PRO-33 ABB
PVS800 ABB
E-series Gamesa Electric
Sungrow 10-60SG
Delta RPI

All the listed interfaces are Modbus-based.

Interfaces where the ASC-4 serves as the slave are available both as Modbus RTU (requires option H2) and
as Modbus TCP.
Interfaces where the ASC-4 serves as the master are available as Modbus RTU only (requires option H2).
For Modbus TCP interfacing, an external Modbus RTU to Modbus TCP gateway such as HD67510 from
ADFWeb is required.
FSC SMA is a protocol designed for interfacing to the Fuel Save Controller provided by SMA Solar Technology AG. The ASC-4 serves as the slave.
DEIF Open is a protocol designed by DEIF, where the ASC-4 serves as the slave.
SunSpec Generic is a generic implementation of the SunSpec standardised protocol. It enables interfacing
to any inverter, supporting both monitoring and control via SunSpec. When selected, the ASC-4 will initially
identify the SunSpec map in the inverter before it goes into normal operation. The ASC-4 serves as the master.
SunSpec SMA is a protocol where the SunSpec map is preset according to the maker-specific protocol and
the ASC-4 will not need to initially identify it, as opposed to the SunSpec Generic. The ASC-4 serves as the
master.
SunSpec Fronius is a protocol where the SunSpec map is preset according to the maker-specific protocol
and the ASC-4 will not need to initially identify it, as opposed to the SunSpec Generic. The ASC-4 serves as
the master.

In addition to applying the active and reactive control references, the ASC-4 can be set up to poll data from
the inverters as well. The ASC-4 can include a maximum of 42 inverters in its monitoring scheme. The polled
data is made available in a designated Modbus map for a SCADA system to read out.

2.4 Weather station

The ASC-4 offers the possibility of connecting sensors for weather-related measurements such as Plane of
Array irradiation sensors, Back of Module temperature sensors, and so on. Based on these readings, the
ASC-4 will calculate the instantaneous maximum power that can be generated by the PV plant. If the circumstances dictate that the ASC-4 curtails the PV power production, throttle counters will increase and thus reveal the amount of unutilised PV power. The readings are presented in the display and are available via Modbus for a SCADA system to read out.

2.5 Monitoring
The ASC-4 already offers Modbus slave functionality with a substantial proprietary protocol, including the inverter monitoring data and weather-related measurements described above. In addition to the proprietary protocol, a SunSpec map has been added to provide a standardised Modbus slave interface to PV SCADA systems. In the SunSpec map, the complete PV plant is treated as an entity. Even though the PV plant may consist of multiple string inverters, it will be aggregated power contribution from each inverter that gives the total
PV production which can be read out from the ASC-4 SunSpec map.
