1.5 Functional Overview

The DURACELL HUB is equipped to support an AC coupled solar plus storage installation with backup power to a

dedicated backup electrical panel. The DURACELL HUB is a power distribution center for the ESS, routing all AC power

between the main and backup electrical panels. In the event of a grid outage, the DURACELL HUB will be energized

by the ESS, which will island off the main electrical panel. As shown below, the PV inverter’s AC output is connected

to the backup panel to support solar charging of the battery during a grid outage.

Figure 2: DURACELL HUB with DURACELL PO ER CENTER 5K .

1.5.1 Grid Connected Solar plus

Storage

The DURACELL HUB routes power from the main

electrical panel to the backup panel through the ESS

Grid/Load transfer circuit when the grid is live and

the battery system is in service (normal operation).

The EMC commands the battery system to charge or

discharge the battery as demanded by the energy

management algorithm. In a self-consumption

algorithm, for example, the EMC calculates the

difference in total load vs. solar PV, and routes the

balance of power to/from the battery as needed.

hen the battery is full, PV power bypasses the

battery to grid/loads. hen the battery is at

minimum reserve, all home loads are supplied

entirely by the grid. The following diagram

outlines the power flow possibilities while grid

connected.

Note: The DURACELL HUB is equipped with an internal automatic bypass switch which provides uninterrupted

service to the backup electrical panel when the ESS is either not powered (installed but pending permission to

operate) or out of service.

1.5.2 Backup Solar plus Storage

During a grid outage, the DURACELL HUB isolates the battery

system and backup electrical panel from the grid. In this mode, the

EMC is in a monitoring state, with most control handed over to the

ESS. The ESS curtails PV when the battery is either full or exceeds

the charge limit of the battery. On low SOC, the battery system

goes into a standby state until either the solar resource or the grid

returns.

IMPORTANT! Shutting off the DURACELL HUB circuit breaker at the

main electrical panel will place the ESS into backup mode and

continue to energize the backup panel.

1.5.3 Backup Solar PV curtailment method:

Frequency Shift Power Control (FSPC)

During backup power operation of the ESS, PV curtailment is achieved by shifting the frequency up or down to trip

the PV inverter. This curtailment method, defined as frequency shift power control (FSPC), is required to prevent

solar from over-charging the battery. By default, the ESS will ramp up frequency to a PV trip range of 62.1 Hz, but

this is adjustable depending on the regulatory frequency trip limits within the jurisdiction.

IMPORTANT! PV inverters connected to the backup panel must have frequency trip settings programmed within the

following ranges: PV low frequency trip range: 57.0 to 59.3 Hz, PV high frequency trip range: 60.5 to 62.0 Hz.

If the PV inverter cannot be adjusted within the range specified, the PV inverter must not be connected to the backup

panel.

NOTE: The DURACELL HUB is not suitable for use in applications where the electric utility prohibits PV power export

to the grid. For non-export applications, consult your DURACELL PO ER CENTER 5K dealer for alternate EMS

panel solutions.

1.5.4 Circuit and system sizing for 100 / 125 / 150 Amp electrical panels

Line side tapping the main electrical panel is required for ESS installations where the electrical service rating is under

200 Amp. Refer to section 2.3, figure 11.

1.5.5 Circuit and system sizing for 200+ Amp electrical panels

The DURACELL HUB may be connected to a 200+ Amp electrical panel using a single 40A breaker. For this

configuration, the total solar PV output connected to the backup electrical panel will depend on the curtailment

features of the solar PV inverter. If the PV inverter is equipped with its own curtailment controls that can limit PV

output to 5k or less in backup mode, the maximum rating of the PV inverter connected to the DURACELL HUB is 7.6

k AC. For PV inverters without internal curtailment methods, the 5 k PV restriction applies. Regardless of PV

size, this configuration permits the DURACELL HUB EMS to limit continuous combined solar plus storage output to 7.6

k AC (32 Amp).

1.5.6 Over-sized PV systems

For installations with PV systems that are

larger than the DURACELL HUB and ESS can

accommodate, the PV inverters must be split

up such that the balance of PV is wired directly

to the main electrical panel.

NOTE: An additional CT must be added to the

main panel connected PV inverter.

1.6 Internal Component Overview

The DURACELL HUB is equipped the following components as identified in the diagram below:

Figure 6: DURACELL HUB internal component overview.

1.6.1: Energy management controller (EMC)

IMPORTANT! The device unique identifier (UID) & serial number (S/N) tag attached to the front of the EMC is required

to register the device to the cloud so that it may be monitored via the Fleet Installer monitoring system. Record this

information for online registration.

The EMC performs the following functions:

•Commands the battery system to charge and discharge as defined by the selected control algorithm.

•Monitors the home loads, solar PV, and battery power via on-board 8 channel power meter.

•Provides the Internet gateway to customer supplied internet router via wired Ethernet.

A 12V AGM UPS backup battery supplies uninterrupted power to the EMC.

2 Installation Planning

Before installing the DURACELL HUB, read all instructions and warnings in this manual. The DURACELL HUB can be

installed in an indoor and outdoor non-corrosive environment (not marine environment). all mounting hardware

is not included.

CAUTION! All electrical installation work should be performed in accordance with local building and electrical

codes.

WARNIN ! Isolate the DURACELL HUB from all energy sources prior to electrical installation by means of

disconnects, breakers or connectors. Failure to properly isolate either AC or DC sources may result in serious injury

or death.

NOTE: Communication cables between the DURACELL HUB and the battery system are limited in length. The

DURACELL HUB should be installed within 2 ft of the battery system.

CAUTION! Do not install in direct sunlight.

2.1 Installation clearances between the DURACELL HUB and the battery system

The DURACELL HUB includes a 10 foot communication cable that connects the hub to the battery system. If the

installation is constrained such that the DURACELL HUB must be located greater than 24” from the battery system,

consult the DURACELL PO ER CENTER 5K Installation & Startup Manual for instructions on creating an extended

communication cable.
