2.2 Monitoring

2.2.1 Plant Overview

You can view the status of plants and devices.

Prerequisites
Devices have been connected to the management system and bound to a plant.

Context
Plants can be classified into the following five types based on their devices:
● PV plant: contains only PV devices and components, such as maximum power
point trackers (MPPTs) and inverters (non-PCS).
● Energy storage plant: contains only energy storage devices and components,
such as energy storage containers and cabinets.
● PV+storage plant: contains PV devices and energy storage devices.
● PV + storage charging station: contains PV devices, energy storage devices,
and charging piles.
● Charging-only station: contains only charging piles.

Viewing the Running Information of a Plant

1. Choose Monitoring > Monitoring from the main menu.
2. In the navigation pane, choose a target plant.
3. On the Overview page, you can view the basic plant information, energy
yield and revenue statistics, real-time status, and energy flow diagram.
– Basic plant information: displays the local weather forecast (current day
and the next two days), plant address, and string capacity.

Issue 01 (2024-03-12) Copyright © Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd. 4

SmartPVMS
FusionSolar SmartPVMS User Manual 2 I am Owner

NOTE

If the system does not display the weather of the place where the plant is
located, contact the system administrator to configure the weather service.
– Energy yield and revenue statistics: displays the energy yield and revenue
of the plant. The system calculates the sum of feed-in revenue of a PV
plant (Feed-in revenue = Feed-in electricity x Feed-in tariff) and savings
in electricity bills (Savings = Self-consumed electricity x Purchase price) to
display the benefits from the PV plant.
NOTE

● You need to set the electricity prices when adding a PV plant. Otherwise, the
system cannot calculate the revenue.
● If the price unit is inconsistent with the local type, contact the company
administrator to change the currency.
– Energy flow diagram: displays the current power supply direction of the
plant.
Before using the energy flow diagram to view the grid power, you need to
connect the power meter first. Otherwise, the power grid data is not
displayed.

NOTE

● The energy flow diagram is displayed only when three or more elements
among PV, battery, grid, and load are involved in the system.

● You can click to view the energy flow map data in real time.
To change the enabling duration, contact Huawei technical support. By
default, this function is enabled for 1 minute. When this function is enabled,
the traffic consumption increases. The number of sharing times on the web
and app sides can be enabled for a maximum of 10 times per day.
– Energy management: displays the energy yield, energy consumption, and
self-consumption of a plant in different time dimensions, helping you
analyze the energy consumption trend and optimize electricity
consumption. In the energy storage scenarios, energy is stored and
discharged, improving the self-consumption rate.
– Environmental benefits: Unlike thermal power plants, PV power plants
generate electricity without CO2 emissions, which is equivalent to
planting trees. For details, see How to Calculate Carbon Emissions
Avoided.

Issue 01 (2024-03-12) Copyright © Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd. 5

Issue 01 (2024-03-12) Copyright © Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd. 19

SmartPVMS
FusionSolar SmartPVMS User Manual 2 I am Owner

Context
● The analysis on the coefficient of variation reflects the overall running status
of the device in the same running environment. A smaller coefficient of
variation indicates a more stable overall running status. If the running
environment of the device changes, you need to consider the impact of the
environment conditions during the analysis.The performance of a single
device is indicated by the deviation rate. If the deviation rate is negative, a
smaller value indicates poorer device performance.
● Discreteness analysis evaluates the energy yield performance of PV strings by
analyzing their power fluctuation. A lower discreteness indicates more stable
performance. A higher discreteness indicates poorer performance, and some
PV strings may be abnormal.

SmartPVMS
FusionSolar SmartPVMS User Manual 2 I am Owner

Working Mode Mode Description

Maximum self- ● This mode applies to areas where the electricity price is
consumption high, or areas where the feed-in tariff (FIT) subsidy is
low or unavailable.
● PV energy is preferentially supplied to loads, and the
surplus energy is used to charge the batteries. If the
batteries are fully charged or are being charged at full
power, the surplus energy is fed to the grid. When PV
energy is insufficient or no PV energy can be generated
at night, the batteries discharge energy to loads. This
improves the self-consumption rate and energy self-
sufficiency rate, and reduces electricity costs. The grid
cannot charge the batteries.

Fully fed to grid ● This mode applies only to distributed scenarios.

● This mode maximizes the PV energy fed to the grid.
When the generated PV energy in the daytime is
greater than the maximum output capability of the
inverter, the surplus energy is used to charge batteries.
When the generated PV energy is less than the
maximum output capability of the inverter, the
batteries discharge energy to the inverter to maximize
the energy fed from the inverter to the grid. The grid
cannot charge the batteries.

TOU ● This mode applies to the PV+ESS scenario and ESS-only

scenario where peak to valley electricity prices are
different and power meters are available.
● You can manually set the charge and discharge time
segments. For example, if you set the low electricity
price period at night as the charge time, the system
charges the batteries at the maximum power during
the charge time. If you set the high electricity price
period as the discharge time, batteries can discharge
only during the discharge time based on the actual
load power, reducing electricity costs.
● Click Add to set the charge and discharge time
segments. A maximum of 14 time segments can be set.
During the charge time, the grid can charge the
batteries. During the discharge time, the batteries can
supply power to the loads. In other time segments, the
batteries do not discharge. The PV system and grid
supply power to loads, and the PV system can charge
the batteries. (In grid-tied/off-grid mode, if the grid
fails, the batteries can discharge power at any time.)
● In some countries, the grid is not allowed to charge
batteries. In such case, this mode cannot be used.

Issue 01 (2024-03-12) Copyright © Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd. 84

SmartPVMS
FusionSolar SmartPVMS User Manual 2 I am Owner

Working Mode Mode Description

Three-party ● Only a third-party platform controls battery charge and

dispatch discharge.
● During charging, the PV power is preferentially used for
charging batteries.
● During discharging, batteries are preferentially
discharged, and surplus PV power is discarded.

Dispatching charge ● This mode applies to utility-scale plant scheduling

and discharge scenarios where a third-party controller delivers active
power scheduling commands.
● The purpose of scheduled discharge is to meet the
active power scheduling target value at the grid access
point. PV energy is preferred. If the generated PV
energy is insufficient, the batteries discharge and the
energy is fed to the grid based on the active power
scheduling target value. If the generated PV energy is
sufficient, the energy is fed to the grid based on the
active power scheduling target value, and the surplus
PV energy is used to charge the batteries.
● The purpose of scheduled charge is to meet the active
power scheduling target value at the grid access point.
If the battery charge power is insufficient or the Smart
PCS limits the power, the grid charges the batteries
with the maximum capability. If the batteries are not
fully charged when the scheduling target value is met,
the PV power is used to charge the batteries.

TOU (fixed power) ● This mode applies the PV+ESS scenario and ESS-only
scenario where peak to valley electricity prices are
different and power meters are unavailable.
● You can manually set the charge and discharge time
segments. For example, if you set the low electricity
price period at night as the charge time, the system
charges the batteries at the fixed power during the
charge time. If you set the high electricity price period
as the discharge time, batteries can discharge only
during the discharge time at the fixed power, reducing
electricity costs.
● Click Add to set the charge and discharge time
segments. A maximum of 14 time segments can be set.
During the charge time, the grid can charge the
batteries. During the discharge time, the batteries can
supply power to the loads. In other time segments, the
batteries do not discharge and are not charged.
● In some countries, the grid is not allowed to charge
batteries. In such case, this mode cannot be used.

3.2.5 Coefficient of Variation Analysis

By analyzing the discrete rate of PV devices and PV strings, you can quickly learn
about the running status of PV devices and PV strings, facilitating device
maintenance.

Context
● The analysis on the coefficient of variation reflects the overall running status
of the device in the same running environment. A smaller coefficient of
variation indicates a more stable overall running status. If the running
environment of the device changes, you need to consider the impact of the
environment conditions during the analysis.The performance of a single
device is indicated by the deviation rate. If the deviation rate is negative, a
smaller value indicates poorer device performance.

is about to expire, update them in a timely manner.

Prerequisites
● The interconnected email server must support the Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP).
● You have obtained the server information from the SMTP server administrator,
such as the domain name or IP address, port number, whether identity
authentication is required, user name, and user password.
● The SMTP port is available.
– In common connection mode, port 25 is used.
– In TLS connection mode, port 587 is used.
– In SSL connection mode, port 465 is used.

Context
● If a company has multiple levels of subsidiaries, the email server must be
configured based on the following rules:
– If a company has configured an email server but no subsidiary has, all
subsidiaries use the email server to send subscription emails.
– If no email server is configured for a subsidiary, the email server
configured for the upper-level subsidiary is used by default to send
subscription emails. The email server configured for the lower-level
subsidiary cannot be used.

3.8.8 How Do I Handle the Operation Authorization

Application Displayed on the GUI?
Problem Description
When a user performs operations such as editing devices under the plant, the

Issue 01 (2024-03-12) Copyright © Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd. 196
SmartPVMS
FusionSolar SmartPVMS User Manual 3 I am Installer

duration, and remarks in the current operation authorization application dialog

box, and notify the authorizer to grant the permission.

3.8.9 Why There Is Possible Deviations in System Efficiency?

Context
● System efficiency = Actual energy yield/Theoretical energy yield
● The theoretical energy yield is calculated based on the installed capacity and
total irradiation.
● The total irradiation is obtained from the EMI. (To obtain the accurate total
irradiation, the EMI and PV modules must be installed on the same plane.)

Possible Causes
If the plant has multiple EMIs, the total irradiation is calculated based on the
average value of the EMIs. To ensure accuracy, each EMI must be on the same
plane as the PV modules. If they are not on the same plane, the irradiation on the
EMI may deviate from the irradiation received by the PV modules. In this case, the
calculation may also deviate.

The accurate calculation of the system efficiency depends on the installation

position of the EMIs. If the EMIs are not installed on the same plane of PV
modules or are installed on a multi-orientation rooftop, the system efficiency is for
reference only and cannot reflect the actual system efficiency. To obtain the actual
system efficiency, you are advised to install EMIs in each direction and manually
calculate the system efficiency in each direction based on the formula.

3.8.10 How Do I Reset My Password If I Forget It?

You can reset the password after you authenticate the contact information.

Prerequisite
The contact information of the user is valid and consistent with that for account

SOC (%) When the battery SOC drops to 0%, charge the batteries
in a timely manner. If the batteries are not charged in a
timely manner, the battery capacity will attenuate
irreversibly. The resulting battery faults are not covered
under warranty. You are advised not to set End-of-
discharge SOC to 0.

FusionSolar SmartPVMS User Manual 3 I am Installer

Working Mode Mode Description

Maximum self- ● This mode applies to areas where the electricity price is
consumption high, or areas where the feed-in tariff (FIT) subsidy is
low or unavailable.
● PV energy is preferentially supplied to loads, and the
surplus energy is used to charge the batteries. If the
batteries are fully charged or are being charged at full
power, the surplus energy is fed to the grid. When PV
energy is insufficient or no PV energy can be generated
at night, the batteries discharge energy to loads. This
improves the self-consumption rate and energy self-
sufficiency rate, and reduces electricity costs. The grid
cannot charge the batteries.

Fully fed to grid ● This mode applies only to distributed scenarios.

● This mode maximizes the PV energy fed to the grid.
When the generated PV energy in the daytime is
greater than the maximum output capability of the
inverter, the surplus energy is used to charge batteries.
When the generated PV energy is less than the
maximum output capability of the inverter, the
batteries discharge energy to the inverter to maximize
the energy fed from the inverter to the grid. The grid
cannot charge the batteries.

TOU ● This mode applies to the PV+ESS scenario and ESS-only

scenario where peak to valley electricity prices are
different and power meters are available.
● You can manually set the charge and discharge time
segments. For example, if you set the low electricity
price period at night as the charge time, the system
charges the batteries at the maximum power during
the charge time. If you set the high electricity price
period as the discharge time, batteries can discharge
only during the discharge time based on the actual
load power, reducing electricity costs.
● Click Add to set the charge and discharge time
segments. A maximum of 14 time segments can be set.
During the charge time, the grid can charge the
batteries. During the discharge time, the batteries can
supply power to the loads. In other time segments, the
batteries do not discharge. The PV system and grid
supply power to loads, and the PV system can charge
the batteries. (In grid-tied/off-grid mode, if the grid
fails, the batteries can discharge power at any time.)
● In some countries, the grid is not allowed to charge
batteries. In such case, this mode cannot be used.

FusionSolar SmartPVMS User Manual 3 I am Installer

Working Mode Mode Description

Three-party ● Only a third-party platform controls battery charge and

dispatch discharge.
● During charging, the PV power is preferentially used for
charging batteries.
● During discharging, batteries are preferentially
discharged, and surplus PV power is discarded.

Dispatching charge ● This mode applies to utility-scale plant scheduling

and discharge scenarios where a third-party controller delivers active
power scheduling commands.
● The purpose of scheduled discharge is to meet the
active power scheduling target value at the grid access
point. PV energy is preferred. If the generated PV
energy is insufficient, the batteries discharge and the
energy is fed to the grid based on the active power
scheduling target value. If the generated PV energy is
sufficient, the energy is fed to the grid based on the
active power scheduling target value, and the surplus
PV energy is used to charge the batteries.
● The purpose of scheduled charge is to meet the active
power scheduling target value at the grid access point.
If the battery charge power is insufficient or the Smart
PCS limits the power, the grid charges the batteries
with the maximum capability. If the batteries are not
fully charged when the scheduling target value is met,
the PV power is used to charge the batteries.

TOU (fixed power) ● This mode applies the PV+ESS scenario and ESS-only
scenario where peak to valley electricity prices are
different and power meters are unavailable.
● You can manually set the charge and discharge time
segments. For example, if you set the low electricity
price period at night as the charge time, the system
charges the batteries at the fixed power during the
charge time. If you set the high electricity price period
as the discharge time, batteries can discharge only
during the discharge time at the fixed power, reducing
electricity costs.
● Click Add to set the charge and discharge time
segments. A maximum of 14 time segments can be set.
During the charge time, the grid can charge the
batteries. During the discharge time, the batteries can
supply power to the loads. In other time segments, the
batteries do not discharge and are not charged.
● In some countries, the grid is not allowed to charge
batteries. In such case, this mode cannot be used.

Working Mode Mode Description

Fixed charge/ In this mode, the batteries are charged or discharge in the
discharge time segments that are set. A maximum of 10 time
segments can be added.

Time of use In this mode, the batteries discharge when the electricity
electricity price price is high and the batteries are charged when the
electricity price is low. A maximum of 10 time segments
can be added.

TOU Redundant PV ● Charge preference: When the PV power is

energy priority greater than the load power, the surplus PV
energy is used to charge the batteries. After
the maximum charge power is reached or
the batteries are fully charged, the surplus
