4. General description

FENECON Home 6, 10 & 15 is an emergency-power-capable electrical energy storage system that can build its own household power grid. Lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) are used in this modular system for storing electrical energy.

4.1. Explanation of the "emergency power function"

Home 10; Home 6, 10 & 15; Home 20 & 30

The FENECON series hybrid inverter:

FHI-10-DAH, FHI-10-DAH 16A, FHI-20-DAH, FHI-29,9-DAH
FINV-6-2-DAH, FINV-10-2-DAH, FINV-15-2-DAH

has an additional output for consumer loads with emergency power capability. In the event of a mains failure, the inverter disconnects the two outputs from each other at all poles, with N and PE being bridged at the emergency power output. The entire switching pattern in less than 10 ms is integrated in the inverter.

The emergency power grid is a genuine three-phase current with 100 % unbalanced load capability and a slightly increased frequency for simple synchronization when the grid returns. If the voltage is equal on all phases when the grid is restored, the switchover to parallel mains operation takes place again within a few milliseconds. The emergency power supply can only be maintained if the state of charge of the battery is sufficient. If this is not the case, the battery is charged from the connected PV strings before the emergency power grid can be black-started.

Within the emergency power function, the inverter acts as its own grid former and sets up its own 3-phase system for the separate emergency power branch (see Technical data). Compared to the public grid system, the grid shape of the emergency power mode has a lower "buffer effect" with regard to load peaks, starting currents, DC components and strongly fluctuating loads. Due to the limited power of the inverter, such loads are only possible within certain limits.

The manufacturer is not responsible for the domestic installation.

Likewise on all other towers, always between PARALLEL OUT and PARALLEL IN (blue/orange).
At the last tower, plug the jumper plug into PARALLEL OUT (red).

8. Initial commissioning

8.1. Checking the installation, connections and cabling

Check the system as follows before initial commissioning:

All components (distances, 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.

Commissioning must only be carried out by trained specialist personnel.

It is forbidden to disconnect the plug connections when 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.

This is indicated in the installation and service instructions:

that an appropriate cooling time must be observed before starting work on the devices,
or that the risk of burns is prevented by wearing suitable protective gloves.

8.2. Switching the system on/off

8.2.1. Switching on the system

Rack in the EMS box (sub-distribution board or socket).
Rack in the inverter (sub-distribution board, grid and emergency power side).
If available, switch on the PV system with the DC switch on the inverter (left side of the inverter).

Racking in the battery tower (front battery tower).
If there are several battery towers, all towers must be racked in.

If commissioning has already been completed, the battery will start and the LED bar should flash after approx. 60 seconds.
The system is now ready for use.
If commissioning has not yet been completed, the battery will not start.
→ Configuration via commissioning wizard.

The system is restarted by pressing the push-button on the front of the EMS box. Restarting the system can take up to three minutes.

If the system has not yet been configured, the battery goes into error mode or switches off.
This can also happen during configuration. It is therefore recommended that you only switch on the battery when you are prompted to do so during the configuration process.

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

8.2.2. Switching off the system

Racking out the battery tower (front battery tower).
If there are several battery towers, all towers must be secured.

If present, switch off the PV system using the DC switch on the inverter.
Rack out the inverter. (sub-distribution board, grid and emergency power side).
Rack out the EMS box (sub-distribution board or socket).

The system is only completely switched off when all LEDs on the inverter and the battery are no longer lit. This can take approx. 30 seconds.
The inverter remains on if one of the three energy sources is not switched off.

8.3. Configuration via commissioning wizard

Open the FENECON homepage and click on the login for FEMS Online Monitoring "FEMS login" in the top right-hand corner. Alternatively, you can use the following QR code or link to access the page.

https://portal.fenecon.de

Log in with your installer account

If an installer account has not yet been created, it can be created directly under the login window.
All information must be filled in correctly and completely.

Once all the necessary points have been confirmed, the account will be created automatically
You will be forwarded directly to the storage system configuration.

Click on the blue plus at the bottom.
Add FEMS.

First, you must enter the 16-digit installer key.
This can be found on the right-hand side of the battery tower on the type label.
Installation key: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
Then follow the installation wizard through the various steps.

Once commissioning is complete, the system is ready for operation and you will be forwarded directly to live monitoring.

You will receive an e-mail with a summary of the complete commissioning for your records (commissioning protocol).
The customer also receives an e-mail with the personal access data for end customer monitoring.

9. 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 storage system and electricity consumption. Other widgets display 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.

9.1. Login data

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

9.1.1. Access for the end customer

Access for the end customer is generated automatically after commissioning is complete and sent to the end customer by email.
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 e-mail to service@fenecon.de with the e-mail address used and the FEMS number concerned, we will create the link and other users can then use the Online Monitoring of an installation.

9.1.2. 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.

10. Capacity expansion of the system

The capacity can also be extended at a later date, there is no time limit.

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

10.1. Capacity expansion of the battery tower
by one or more battery modules

The battery tower can be expanded to up to 14 battery modules in one battery tower.

If the electrical energy storage system is expanded with additional battery modules after commissioning, proceed as follows:

After a capacity expansion, the commissioning protocol must be carried out again.

Open the Online Monitoring.
In order for the new modules to synchronize faster with the existing modules, an equal state of charge is required (30 % SoC). The electrical energy storage system automatically prepares itself if the state of charge does not have the same SoC.

Click on the "Electrical energy storage system" widget in Online Monitoring.

Activate the "Capacity expansion" function in Online Monitoring under Electrical energy storage system. The "Capacity expansion" is activated when the blue bar is displayed.
You can now choose between "Immediate start" and "Planned expansion". With the two options, the battery is charged or discharged to 30 %.
When the state of charge is reached, charging/discharging is stopped and the charge level of 30 % is maintained.

If you select "Planned expansion", you can specify the planned day and time. In this example, 24.05.2024 and the time of 09:00 were selected. At this time, the battery is expected to be charged or discharged to reach 30 % for the "Planned expansion".

You must then confirm your desired settings by clicking on the blue tick. The desired extension will be saved and, depending on the option selected, implemented immediately or later at a specific time.

Then run the commissioning wizard again.

The capacity can also be extended at a later date; there is no time limit here. You will not reach the full capacity with the new battery module, as the new module adapts to the old modules.

If the battery tower is extended by additional battery modules after several weeks or months, the following procedure must be followed:

29-30 % SoC

Charge/discharge the system to a charge level of 29-30 %; then switch off.

Switch off the entire system. The exact procedure is described in the section Switching the system on/off.
- Set the battery fuse switch to OFF.
- DC switch of the inverter to OFF. AC fuse on the grid and emergency power side to OFF.

Remove the top three side panels on each side.
Remove the latch up to the first battery module on both sides.

Remove the FEMS box and BMS box and place them on their sides. To do this, unscrew the wall bracket of the BMS box from the wall.

Attach new battery module.

Proceed as described in section Assembly of battery tower 1 with FEMS box, step 8.
- Attach the FENECON BMS box.
- Attach the FEMS box.
- Attach the brackets.
- Attach the side covers.

If the exact voltage value of the old and new battery modules has not been matched, SoC jumps will occur when the battery is charged and discharged. This means that the full capacity is temporarily not available.
The greater the voltage difference between the "old" and "new" batteries, the longer it can take until there are no more SoC jumps and the full capacity is available.

11. 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 expansion of the FENECON Home 6, 10 & 15 system comprises up to 4 battery towers, each with 3 to 14 battery modules and a maximum of 156.8 kWh.

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

Proceed as follows before the extension:

Activate the "Capacity expansion" function in Online Monitoring under Electrical energy storage system.
The battery is charged/discharged to 30 %. When the state of charge is reached, charging/discharging is stopped and the charge level is maintained.

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

Assembly of the new battery towers as described from section Assembly — Battery tower 1 with FEMS box and section Initial commissioning.
Everything can then be switched on again as described in the [Switch on] section.

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.

12. 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 Digitaler Eingang für Rundsteuerempfänger

12.1. 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 at times when cheap (solar) electricity is available in order to save electrical energy at times when there is no cheap surplus electricity.

The internal relay contacts 5 and 6 can be connected via pins 5/6 and 7/8 on the Harting plug (16-pin — C).
For detailed information on connecting the heat pump, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Once the components have been installed, 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.

12.2. 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 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 electricity for water heating (e. g. for hot water buffer tanks, pool heating, etc.). In this way, other energy sources (e. g. wood or oil) can be saved.

So that each phase of the heating element can be controlled separately, each phase must be connected individually to a relay.
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).
Loop through the neutral conductor N via pin 9/10.
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.
For detailed information on connecting the heating element, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Care must be taken to ensure that three different phases are used. If only one phase is used, damage may occur.

Once the components have been installed, 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 only suitable for temporary operation. For permanent operation, the external relay control must be used.

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

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 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 electricity for water heating (e. g. for hot water buffer tanks, pool heating, etc.). In this way, other energy sources (e. g. wood or oil) can be saved. The externally installed relays must be designed according to the installed power of the installed heating element.

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.
Connect L1 to pin 3 via a MCB B6 fused. Route phase L1 from pin 4 to the external relay and connect to A1. Connect A2 to neutral.
Proceed in the same way as step 2 with the other two phases. Connect K2 and K3 via pins 5/6 and 7/8.

As an alternative to L2/L3, L1 can of course also be looped through, or:
Alternatively, control the contactors/relays with 24 V. If a different voltage source is used, A2 must not be connected to N.

The voltage supply of the heating element must then be connected to the switching contacts of the relays.
For detailed information on connecting the heating element, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Once the components have been installed, 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.

12.4. Control of a CHP unit

The integration of a Combined Heat and Power unit (CHP) into electrical energy management is an advanced form of sector coupling of electricity and heat.

This allows to utilize the property of the CHP unit 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 signal to switch on 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 electricity from the grid.

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

The enable signal for starting the CHP can be connected to pins 5/6 via the Harting plug (16-pin — C).
For detailed information on connecting the CHP, please refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Once the components have been installed, 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.

12.5. 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 generation meter is always integrated with Modbus ID 6. All others in ascending order. The baud rate is 9600.

Connect the cores to pin 3/4 of the Harting plug (16-pin — A).
Connect the white core (alternative color possible) to terminal 3.
Connect the brown core (alternative color possible) to terminal 4.

For example SOCOMEC E24

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

Example: KDK 4PU

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

Wenn mehrere Zähler verbaut werden sollen, dann können diese kommunikativ in Reihe geschaltet werden. Hierfür kann vom ersten Zähler auf den Zweiten usw. weitergebrückt werden. Die Modbus-Adresse muss aufsteigend eingestellt werden.

13. External control of the inverter

There are various ways to override the inverter from external devices.

13.1. Ripple control receiver

The inverter can be controlled directly via a ripple control receiver. The following plugs supplied with the inverter are required for this.

The inverter’s small parts box contains several plugs that can be connected to the underside of the inverter.
Two 6-pin plugs are required for the ripple control receiver to function.
The plugs are numbered consecutively

In order for the functions to be activated, the ripple control receiver must be activated during commissioning.
Then confirm with OK.

The active power of the inverter can be controlled directly by the grid operator via a ripple control receiver.
The behavior of the inverter in the various control stages is described as follows:

100 % → Standard signal, inverter works without restrictions.
60 % → Inverter output power is reduced to 60 %.
30 % → Inverter output power is reduced to 30 %.
0 % → Inverter output power is reduced to 0 %.

If other inverters are used, these must also be connected separately to the RCR; how exactly depends on the grid operator and the RCR used.

In the event of a curtailment to 0 %, the grid feed-in of the inverter is stopped completely, i.e. the consumer loads are supplied completely from the grid.
Only the battery continues to be charged.

A cable with at least 5 cores with a cross-section of 0.34 mm² to 0.75 mm² is recommended.
Feed the cable through one of the holes in the multi-hole seal of the multi-hole seal.
Caution: One feed-through is already blocked by the communication cable between the inverter and EMS.
Leave the other openings of the multi-hole seal closed.

Connect the cores of the control cable as shown in the picture.
A core with a core cross-section of 0.34 mm² to 0.75 mm² is recommended.

→ A 6-pin plug is required for variant A.

Variant B

B) The small parts box of the inverter is supplied with plugs that can be connected to the underside of the inverter.
→ A 4-pin plug is required for variant B.

In order for the functions to be activated, the remote switch-off must be activated during commissioning.
Then confirm with OK.
Continue to the next step with Next.

The emergency power output is still active (if activated) and supplies the emergency power to the consumer loads.

A cable with 2 cores and a cross-section of 0.34 mm² to 0.75 mm² is recommended.
Feed the cable through one of the holes in the multi-hole seal of the cover.
Attention: One feed-through is already blocked by the communication cable between the inverter and EMS.
Leave the other openings of the multi-hole seal closed.

Variant A

A) To disconnect the inverter from the grid, the core from the disconnection device must be connected to pin 1 and pin 2.
A) The switch-off device must be equipped with a normally closed contact
→ In normal operation, pins 1 and 2 must be bridged via the switch-off device.

Variant B

B) To disconnect the inverter from the grid, the core from the disconnection device must be connected to pin 1 and pin 2.
B) The switch-off device must be equipped with a normally closed contact
→ In normal operation, pins 1 and 2 must be bridged via the switch-off device.

Variant A
