7. Initial commissioning

NOTICE NOTICE

Please follow the instructions in the installation and service instructions
The installation and service instructions state:

  • that an appropriate cooling down period must be observed before starting work on the devices,

  • that wearing appropriate protective gloves prevents the risk of burns.

7.1. General Safety Instructions for Commissioning

Commissioning must only be carried out by trained specialist personnel.

  • Do not disconnect the electrical connectors while they are live. Disconnect the power supply.

  • Batteries must not be connected or disconnected when a current is flowing.

  • Opening batteries is prohibited.

  • Before commissioning the system, ensure that the battery modules are not deeply discharged.

  • If the battery modules are deeply discharged, contact FENECON Service.

  • Only charge deeply discharged battery modules as instructed by the FENECON Service.

7.2. Checking the installation, connections and cabling

Check the system as follows before initial commissioning:

  • All components (clearances, environment, mounting) are installed correctly.

  • All internal wiring is complete and properly connected.

  • All external supply lines (power supply, communication cable) are properly connected.

  • All connected loads are matched to the system and the necessary settings have been made.

  • All necessary tests of the system were carried out in accordance with the standards.

To set up the system, you will need a laptop with an Ethernet connection to the KACO inverter and a WiFi connection.
You can also use one device with an Ethernet connection in combination with a second device that has a WiFi connection.

7.2.1. Switching on the system

image0136
  1. Rack in the EMS box (sub-distribution board or socket).

  2. Rack in the inverter.

  3. Racking in the battery towers (front battery tower).

image0137
  1. If commissioning has already been completed, the battery will start and the LED bar should flash after approx. 60 seconds.

  2. The system is now ready for use.

Pressing the push-button on the front of the EMS Box will restart the system. The restart may take up to three minutes.

If commissioning has not yet been completed, the battery will not start.

If the system has not yet been configured, the battery will enter error mode or shut down.
This can also happen during configuration. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not turn on the battery until you are prompted to do so during the configuration process.

The inverter only starts after configuration and only then synchronizes with the grid.

7.2.2. Switching off

image0138

Rack out of the battery towers (front battery tower).
Rack out the inverter (sub-distribution board, grid).
Rack out the EMS Box (sub-distribution board or outlet).

  • You will receive an e-mail with a summary of the complete commissioning (commissioning protocol) for your records.

  • The customer also receives an e-mail with the personal access data for end customer monitoring.

8. FEMS Online Monitoring

The FEMS Online Monitoring is used to visualize all energy flows in your system. The Energy Monitor shows live data on grid withdrawal or feed-in, PV production, charging/discharging of the battery energy storage system and power consumption. Other widgets show the percentage of self-sufficiency and Self-consumption. In addition, the individual widgets offer a detailed view, which can also be used to view the performance values with phase accuracy.

In addition to the pure information display, all additionally purchased FEMS extensions, such as for integrating a heat pump, Heating element, combined heat and power plant (CHP), are also listed in Online Monitoring. Their functionality can be controlled via the corresponding widget.

In addition to the live view, the history offers the option of selecting self-selected time periods for Online Monitoring. The status of the entire system and the individual components can be monitored at any time using the info symbol.

8.1. Access data

Access to FEMS Online Monitoring is separated according to end customer and installer.

8.1.1. Access for the end customer

Access for the end customer is automatically generated once commissioning is complete and sent to the end customer by e-mail.
The terms and conditions still need to be confirmed here, then the monitoring is available without restrictions.

If additional users want to access the system, they must create their own user account. This is done as described in the section Configuration via commissioning wizard, but here "USER" must be selected in the header.

After successfully creating an additional user account, all we need is an email to service@fenecon.de with the email address used and the FEMS number concerned, we will create the link and other users can use the Online Monitoring of a system.

8.1.2. Access for the installer

The installer account can be created as described in the section Configuration via commissioning wizard on the FENECON homepage. Access is required for successful commissioning.

9. Capacity expansion of the system

The capacity can also be expanded at a later date; there is no time limit here.

The maximum capacity is not reached with additional new battery modules, as new modules are equal to the old modules.

9.1. Capacity expansion of the system
by one or more battery towers

The capacity of the system can be subsequently expanded by one or more battery towers with the same capacity. There is no time limit here.

The maximum configuration of the FENECON Commercial 92-System includes up to 5 battery towers, each with 15 battery modules and 210 kWh.

The full capacity is not achieved with new battery modules, as the new modules become similar to the old modules.

The system automatically performs a reference cycle, calculates the appropriate start time for a planned expansion, and prepares the battery for a stable target value of 30% SoC.

Procedure:

  • Starting at 70% SoC: Charge to 100%, hold, then discharge to 30%

  • Below 70% SoC: Discharge to 0%, hold, then charge to 30%

Recommendation: If possible, perform a few full charge cycles from 0% to 100% beforehand, especially with older batteries.

Proceed as follows before the extension:

image147
  1. Activate the "Capacity expansion" function in Online Monitoring under Electrical energy storage system.

  2. The battery is charged/discharged to 30 %. When the state of charge is reached, charging/discharging is stopped and the charge level is maintained.

image0138
  1. Switch off the entire system. The exact procedure is described in detail in the section Switching off.
    → Fuse switch of the battery to OFF.
    → AC fuse of the inverter to OFF.

image0152
  1. Assembly of the new battery towers as described from section Assembly — Battery tower 1 with FEMS box and section Initial commissioning.

  2. Everything can then be switched on again as described in the Switching on the system section.

image145
  1. Run the commissioning wizard again.

  • If the exact voltage value of the old and new battery towers has not been matched, the new batteries will not be connected.

  • This is not displayed as an error, but it can happen that the SoC displays of the individual battery towers show different charge levels.

  • When the charge levels have equalized after a charging cycle, the last battery towers also switch on.

  • The battery towers work independently, so the flashing frequency of the different towers may vary. The SoC display of the individual towers may also differ briefly.

10. FEMS extensions

For the following FEMS extensions, the integrated relays can be used directly on the (first) battery tower.
Various pins on the Harting plugs are provided for this purpose.

  • Harting plug 10-pin: 3 x free relay channels (max.: 230 V; 10 A)

  • Harting plug 16-pin: 2 x control contacts (max.: 24 V; 1 A)

    • 3 x digital input

    • 1 x digital input for § 14a

    • 1 x analog output (0-10 V)

It may not be possible to connect and operate all apps at the same time.
For more information on the following apps, please visit our homepage.

If the integrated relays are not sufficient, an external 8-channel relay board can be connected via Ethernet.

10.1. Connection of a heat pump via "SG-Ready"

The integration of an "SG-Ready" (Smart Grid-ready) heat pump is an advanced form of sector coupling of electricity and heat - often also referred to as a "power-to-heat" application. The control system ensures that the heat pump slightly overheats the thermal energy storage system at times when cheap (solar) electricity is available in order to save electrical energy at times when there is no cheap surplus electricity.

harting heating element
  1. The internal relay contacts 5 and 6 can be connected via pins 5/6 and 7/8 on the Harting plug (16-pin — C).

  2. For detailed information on connecting the heat pump, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed.
To do this, proceed as described in the section Activation of the app in the FEMS App Center.

10.2. Connection of a heating element with a maximum of 6 kW

The integration of an electric heating element is the simplest and cheapest form of sector coupling of electricity and heat — often also called a "power-to-heat" application.

If the capacity of the electrical energy storage system is exhausted, self-generated energy must be fed into the public grid with low remuneration. In these cases, it often makes sense to use the surplus current for water heating (e. g. for hot water buffer tanks, pool heating, etc.). This way, other energy sources (e. g. wood or oil) can be saved.

heatingelement 6kw
  1. So that each phase of the heating element can be controlled separately, each phase must be connected individually to a relay.

  2. To do this, connect phase 1 (brown) to pin 3 on the Harting plug (10-pin). Continue from pin 4 to the heating element. Use pins 5/6 and 7/8 for phase 2 (black) and phase 3 (gray).

  3. Loop through the neutral conductor N via pin 9/10.

  4. A cable (5G1.5) from the sub-distribution board to the Harting plug and a cable (5G1.5) from the Harting plug to the heating element are recommended.

  5. For detailed information on connecting the heating element, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

NOTICE NOTICE

Possible Damage to the System
Damage to the system caused by using only one phase for the connection.

  • Use three different phases for the connection.

After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed.
To do this, proceed as described in the section Activation of the app in the FEMS App Center.

Manual mode is intended only for temporary operation. For continuous operation, use the external relay control.

10.3. Control of a heating element greater than 6 kW
(control via external relay)

The externally installed relays must be laid out according to the power of the installed heating element.

heatingelement 6kw 3p
  1. So that each phase of the heating element can be controlled separately, each phase must be connected individually to the internal relay via an additional external relay.

  2. Connect L1 to pin 3 via a MCB B6 fused. Route phase L1 from pin 4 to the external relay and connect to A1. A2 must be connected to neutral.

  3. Proceed in the same way as step 2 with the other two phases. Connect K2 and K3 via pins 5/6 and 7/8.

heatingelement 6kw 1p
  1. As an alternative to L2/L3, L1 can of course also be looped through, or:

  2. Alternatively, control the contactors/relays with 24 V. If another voltage source is used, do not connect A2 to N.

heatingelement 6kw relais
  1. The power supply of the heating element must then be connected to the switching contacts of the relays.

  2. For detailed information on connecting the heating element, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed.
To do this, proceed as described in the section Activation of the app in the FEMS App Center.

10.4. Controlling a CHP unit

The integration of a combined heat and power plant (CHP) into electrical energy management is an advanced form of sector coupling of electricity and heat.

This allows using the CHP as an electrical generator that is independent of the time of day and weather conditions. When the state of charge of the electrical energy storage system is low, the CHP is given a switch-on signal to produce electricity. This is useful, for example, if the battery capacity is not sufficient to cover electricity consumption at night. This avoids the need to purchase expensive current from the grid.

When the battery is charging, this signal is stopped again to prevent the CHP’s current from being fed into the grid unnecessarily.

harting heating element
  1. The enable signal for starting the CHP can be connected to pins 5/6 via the Harting plug (16-pin — C).

  2. For detailed information on connecting the CHP, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

After installing the components, the app still needs to be installed.
To do this, proceed as described in the section Activation of the app in the FEMS App Center.

10.5. Additional AC meter

  • If additional meters have been installed for monitoring other consumer loads or generators, these must be integrated into the circuit in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

  • The communicative integration is shown below using a 3-phase sensor without a current transformer as an example.

  • Only meters approved by FENECON can be integrated.

  • The first production meter is always integrated with Modbus ID 6. All others in ascending order. The baud rate is 9600.

additional ac meter 1
  1. Connect the cores to pin 3/4 on the Harting plug (16-pin — A).

  2. Connect the white core (alternative color possible) to terminal 3.

  3. Connect the brown core (alternative color possible) to terminal 4.

additional ac meter 2

For example SOCOMEC E24

  1. The brown wire (alternative color possible) is connected to the meter at connection point 2 and the white core (alternative color possible) is then connected to 3.

  2. A terminal resistor with 120 Ω must be installed between (+) and (-) (A/B) on the last bus device.

additional ac meter 3

For example KDK 4PU

  1. The brown wire (alternative color possible) is connected to the meter at connection point 8 and the white core (alternative color possible) is then connected to 7.

  2. A terminal resistor with 120 Ω must be installed between (+) and (-) (A/B) on the last bus device.

If several meters are to be installed, they can be connected in series for communication purposes. For this purpose, the first meter can be bridged to the second, etc. The Modbus address must be set in ascending order.

  • Steel wool, putty knives, and similar items must not be used for cleaning under any circumstances.

  • The use of unsuitable cleaning agents can lead to external corrosion.

15.3. Maintenance work

No regular maintenance work needs to be carried out on the system. Nevertheless, check the status of your electrical energy storage system regularly.

Regular re-referencing of the electrical energy storage system is recommended, i.e. it must be completely discharged (SoC = 0 %) and then fully charged again (SoC = 100 %), as otherwise capacity may be lost.

15.4. Repairs

In the event of defective components, contact FENECON Service.

15.5. Warranty cases

Warranty claims must be reported to FENECON in text form (e. g. by e-mail) within the warranty period. The notification must be made within a cut-off period of 8 weeks after the end customer has become aware of the warranty claim or could have become aware of it without gross negligence.

16. Advice for fire departments when dealing with FENECON Home & Commercial systems

The FENECON Home and Commercial systems operate in the low-voltage range, which means that they are operated with voltages of less than 1,500 volts direct current (DC) and less than 1,000 volts alternating current (AC).

It may be useful to install an additional switch that disconnects the building from the emergency power supply. This makes it easier for the fire department to act safely and quickly in an emergency.

For a precise procedure for emergency services, it is recommended to ask the relevant fire academies and request the corresponding information sheets and pocket cards for battery energy storage systems.

17. Flood safety measures FENECON Home & Commercial

First steps after the water has receded

Even if your battery energy storage system looks undamaged on the outside:

  • Do not put the system back into operation yourself.

  • Ventilate the room well before entering (open windows from the outside if possible).

  • Avoid sparks (no smoking, no lighters).

Why a review is important:

Even though LFP batteries are very safe, water or moisture can:

  • Cause short circuits in the electronics.

  • Trigger corrosion of electrical connections.

  • Create isolation problems that only become apparent later.

These problems do not have to occur immediately, but can develop over weeks.

Commission a professional inspection

Please contact:

  • Your installer or a qualified electrician with experience in battery energy storage systems.

  • FENECON, the manufacturer of your system.

  • Your insurance company — document the damage with photos.

The qualified specialist will check:

  • Whether water has entered the system.

  • Whether electronic components have been damaged.

  • Whether a recommissioning is safely possible or a replacement is necessary.

No recommissioning without approval

Battery energy storage systems that have come into contact with water must only be put back into operation after a professional inspection and express approval by a qualified specialist. This is for your safety and is often also a prerequisite for your insurance cover.

When replacement is necessary

If your electrical energy storage system needs to be replaced:

  • The disposal of the defective system must be carried out professionally by specialized companies.

  • Your installer will usually organize the removal and disposal.

  • Do not attempt to transport damaged batteries yourself

Storage disposal until collection

If damaged battery modules cannot be collected immediately:

  • Store them well ventilated outdoors with sufficient clearance from flammable materials.
    Storage in a

    • Sand bed.

    • Fireproof container, not gas-tight, ventilated.

    • Water bath, e. g. metal tub, completely covered with water.

  • Keep children and pets away.
