Generator Management Tasks

The Sunny Island inverter generator management system performs the following tasks:

  • Requesting the generator in automatic generator operation.

  • Controlling the Sunny Island inverter for switching the stand-alone grid to the generator voltage.

  • Maintaining generator run times in order to prolong the generator service life.

  • Protecting the generator against overload and backfeed.

  • Controlling the switching operations in the Sunny Island for disconnecting the generator.

  • Making reactive power available for the generator.

The generator management system enables the use of generators that have a low output power in relation to the nominal load of the Sunny Island inverter (see the technical document "Sunny Island - Generator White Paper" at www.SMA-Solar.com).
