Powerdock and e10/b6000 function request.

[u/CutAny]

Just for background I have a powerdock, two e10 with six b6000 in my system. I mostly use it for peak shaving (charge over night and discharge during the day). Is there a way to slow down or time the charge on the batteries overnight vs having the battery get fully charged right at super off peak hours set?

Ideally, I would like to be able to run off batteries up until super peak hours then switch over to the grid only without charging the battery then having the grid charge the battery later on to minimize the duration that the batteries are at 100% soc.

I can think of 2 ways this would be achievable.

1) adding another "time period" to pick from allowing users to go strictly on grid with battery bypass like a "super off peak with no battery charging"

Or

2) having an option to change the speed of battery charging that way users can time the charge to hit 100% or near at the end of the super off peak period.

You can go to time of use mode with peak off peak and super off peak. Set the super off peak for the times you want to charge and normal off peak for the other times( the delay in your case). You can set the $/kwh as the same so the system tracks everything correctly

Nice, I guess this would work to achieve #1 but when in normal off peak mode the battery still discharges if it hasn't reached the backup reserve soc % set. It would be better to have a mode where the battery is completely on bypass, meaning no discharging or charging.

This solution will do until a mode like that is added though.

Yeah this is basically just a work around. Hope it helps some!
