Display for photovoltaic and monitoring of energy

Go to complete gallery

Power-Display is dedicated to monitor renewable energies from photovoltaic, solar thermal, hydroelectric, geothermal plants.

Power-Display can be installed inside a building or outdoors. It allows the owner to monitor its efficiency and primarily it informs the public of the existence of the implant and its efficiency in terms of energy and carbon dioxide emissions avoided, and then it highlights the contribution that the implant provides for the environment protection.

Bios Elettronica manufactures eleven electronic standard models to which you can add custom versions with additional fields (see below). The standard versions differ mainly in the size and environment of use. The three smaller models are for indoor applications, others are for outdoor installations. The outdoor models are naturally weatherproof (IP55) and (very important feature) are made with advanced technology and components that make them super bright and therefore readable even at peak sunlight.

Power-Display shows the following three main data:

  • Istantaneous power
  • Produced energy
  • CO2 not issued

Additional Fields
Upon request we can add other data fields: photovoltaic implant's days of working, tons of oil saved, daily energy production, solar radiation, time, date, outside temperature and other weather data.

Links and interfaces

Power-Display can be connected to inverters, energy meters and data loggers. The display is available in several interfaces:

  • IMPULSE
    Interface for connection to inverters, dataloggers, analyzers and energy meters with impulse output (standard S0).
  • Optical Probe
    Probe for reading data from production meter equipped with an optical interface (ENEL, Landis+Gyr, Iskraemeco, and other types to be verified).
  • RS485
    Interfaccia seriale RS485. Disponibile nelle versioni master e slave per le diverse tipologie di inverter/datalogger/analizzatori/contatori.
  • Ethernet
    Interface for connection through ethernet, directly between display and energy meter/datalogger or through a local network (LAN) or interconnected local networks (VLAN).
  • Modbus
    Modbus interface is used to interface Power-Display to a PLC/PC or datalogger in “slave” mode with Modbus RTU Slave protocol (available in RS485, RS232 and Ethernet).

Programming Mode
During the installation you need to set some values. You can program the Power-Display by the infrared keyboard TK5 provided with Power-Display. TK5 keyboard allows you to set:
Power-Display-telecomando-impianti-fotovoltaici
  • Set the total amount value of energy already produced. This function allows correcting the value provided by the energy analyzer/counter, which for various reasons may not be the actual one. Examples: the photovoltaic system was activated before being connected to the network analyzer; The analyzer was disconnected for maintenance; The display is connected to a counter with pulse output at a later stage, so the counter has already accounted for energy (pulse counters do not provide the data on total energy produced, and therefore, counting is entrusted to the Power-Display board controller).
  • ISet the CO2 factor. The Power-Display software calculates the carbon dioxide (CO2) not emitted into the atmosphere based on the following conventional formula: 1 kWh produced = 1 kg of CO2 x FCO2 (CO2 Factor). If not specified differently in the set-up, the system uses the CO2 factor=0.40351 (source: Greenhouse Gas Protocol 2010).

With the TK5 keyboard is also possible to set the following useful parameters to conform the system when the Power-Display has to be connected to an impulse output device:

  • Pulse weight: from 1 Wh to 999.999 Wh (es.: 1 imp = 10 Wh oppure 1 imp = 1 kWh);
  • Pulse duration: from 1 ms to 999 ms (es.: 10 ms; 100 ms; 200 ms; 300 ms);
  • Impulse frequency's Minimum threshold to which you see instantaneous power = 0 (according to the photovoltaic implants' power and according to user's preferences).

Graphics and writings

Power-display can be sold in standard version only with standard writings or in custom version with graphics, logo and images provided by the customer. The customization is performed with four-color printing on calandered polyester film, high resistance against atmospheric agents, UV rays, detergents and moderately aggressive vapors.
