Upv is the DC input voltage of the Turnkey Station.

UpvStart is the DC side startup voltage of the Turnkey Station.
10.1.2 Operation Mode Description
Stop
This is the initial state of the Turnkey Station. The Turnkey Station DC and AC switches are
in the “OFF” position; and the upstream and downstream connections are disconnected.
The Turnkey Station is therefore electricity-free.
Initial Standby
When switches of the upstream and downstream devices are closed and the AC & DC
switches of the Turnkey Station are in the “ON” position, the Turnkey Station turns to the
Initial Standby mode.
The Turnkey Station will continuously check if the PV array and the grid meet the
grid-connection requirements. If the Turnkey Station DC input voltage is higher than the
Turnkey Station startup voltage, the startup time is reached, and the requirements for the
grid side parameter are satisfied, the Turnkey Station will turn from the Initial Standby
mode into the Startup mode.
71
10 Turnkey Station Functions System Manual
Startup
This is the transient process between the Initial Standby mode and the Run mode. Once
the Startup mode is activated, the Turnkey Station will start feeding power to the grid.
Run
In this mode, the Turnkey Station converts the DC energy into AC energy and feeds it to the
grid by way of MPPT.
The Turnkey Station tracks the PV arrays’ maximum power point (MPP) to maximize the
output energy.
Standby
In Run mode, the Turnkey Station will enter the Standby mode if the DC side current is as
low as 0A for a while.
The Turnkey Station will continuously check if the PV array meets the grid-connection
requirements. If the DC startup voltage of the Turnkey Station and the startup time are
reached, it will turn into the Run mode.
Fault
If a fault occurs during operation, the Turnkey Station will enter the Fault mode. LCD panel
will display the fault type with the “Fault” indicator on until the fault is removed and the
Turnkey Station turns into the Run mode.
If the fault is unrecoverable, the Turnkey Station must be stopped to perform maintenance
work. It will automatically check if the fault is recoverable.
When there is a DSP fault or module fault, restart of the Turnkey Station through
the LCD is strictly prohibited. A power-off check is required before reenergizing
the Turnkey Station. Otherwise, the machine may be damaged.
Emergency-stop
Stop the Turnkey Station by pressing the emergency stop button inside the monitoring
window when a fault or an emergency occurs.
The emergency stop button is used to disconnect the AC switch, the DC switch, and the
auxiliary switch. Release the emergency stop button by using the specific key.
Key-stop
In the Run mode, the Turnkey Station will enter the Key-stop mode when stop instruction
is sent via the LCD panel if the user needs to conduct maintenance or service work
Alarm Run
In Alarm Run mode, the Turnkey Station can keep running but send alarm signal. The user
can check the present alarm information through the Working state on the LCD default
screen or check the latest 200 history alarm information through Function/History
information/his alarm. The Turnkey Station automatically turns to the Run mode when the
alarm is removed.

System Manual 10 Turnkey Station Functions
10.2 Active Power Limitation
10.2.1 Introduction to Active Power Limitation

Situations, needing power limitation, are listed below:
 Potential threatens to the Turnkey Station safety operation
 Over-load of the grid branch connected to the Turnkey Station
 Islanding
 Factors affecting the stability of the static grid status and dynamic grid status
 Frequency rising affects the system stability
 Grid maintenance
 Grid management
10.2.2 How to Realize Power Limitation
Station!
The user can adjust the Turnkey Station active power output through the LCD display:
Step 1 Tap “ Function” on the default menu;
Step 3 Tap “Run-parameter” after entering the correct password;
Step 4 Set the “Limit Power (%)” parameter by tapping the pop-up keypad;
Step 5 Tap “Enter” to confirm the setting.
Parameters related to power limitation (P-rise rate and P-decline rate) are also
included in the running parameter setting sub-menu and can be set accordingly.
10.3 Reactive Power Adjustment

The Turnkey Station can provide reactive power output. The user can open or close the
reactive power adjustment switch and set the reactive power output through the LCD
screen.
Reactive power limitation is performed through the running information sub-menu as
follows:
Step 3 Tap “Run-parameter” after entering the correct password;
73
Step 4 Turn the page down to select the “Q-adjust switch”. Tap the pull-down list and there are six
options:
 Close: reactive power cannot be adjusted

 Pf: adjust the reactive power by setting power factor
 Q-limit: adjust the reactive power by setting reactive power percentage
 QU mode: the reactive power changes with the grid voltage
 V auto-adjust: Voltage automatic adjusting: by setting the voltage adjusting benchmark
and hysteresis, reactive power can be dynamically adjusted and the actual voltage
tracking setting benchmark can be controlled.
 QP mode: the PF changes with the output power of the Turnkey Station
Step 5 If "Pf" is selected, the "Pf" can be set on the running parameter interface;
if "Q-limit" is selected, the "Q-limit" can be set on the running parameter interface;
if "QU mode" is selected, QU-related parameter can be set on the running parameter
interface, where the parameter name begins with "QU", for example, QU operation mode;
and
if "V auto-adjust" is selected, the "voltage automatic adjusting benchmark" and "voltage
automatic adjusting hysteresis" can be set on the running paramter interface.
P-Q Capability
The Turnkey Station can support the grid by supplying the reactive power in different ways. The

10.4 LVRT
Technical Requirements for Connecting Photovoltaic Power Station to Power System
requires medium-and-large PV plant should be equipped with Low Voltage Ride Through
(LVRT) ability.
LVRT requires: PV plant can operate normally within certain voltage drop range and
duration when the voltage of the grid-connected point drops due to the power system
failure or disturbance; PV plant can provide the dynamic reactive power support during the
period.
Active power recovery

If the power station still connects to the grid during power system failure, the active power
will recover on the moment the fault is removed at the speed of at least 30% of nominal
power/second.
Dynamic reactive current support

During LVRT, power station should feed reactive current to the power system as per
requirements. For a station whose 500kV or 750kV voltage is stepped up from the 220kV or
330kV voltage and then connects to the power station group, it should feed reactive current
to the grid when a short-circuit occurs and the voltage drops.
Zero voltage ride through

When the grid-connection point voltage drops to zero, the power station can operate
normally for 1 second.

10.8 MPPT
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is a technique that the Turnkey Station uses to get
the maximum power from the PV arrays. PV arrays have a complex relationship between
solar irradiation, temperature and total resistance that produces a non-linear output
efficiency known as the I-V curve.

10.9 Intelligent Temperature-Control Technology

The Turnkey Station will continuously detect the IGBT temperature and adjust the fan
speed accordingly. When the module temperature is low, the Turnkey Station will decrease
the fan speed to lower the device noise and decrease the device operation consumption.
As the module temperature increases, the Turnkey Station will increase the fan speed for
good ventilation.
The intelligent temperature-control technology can synchronize the speed of fan and
temperature of the IGBT module and thus optimize the module temperature and other
conditions.
10.10 Insulation Monitoring Function
10.10.1 Introduction
Insulation resistance is an important parameter related to safety operation. If the insulation
resistance is low, the direct contact protection and indirect contact protection may be failed;
meanwhile, the fault current against the ground and the short circuit caused by low
insulation resistance may lead to an electric fire, device damage, or even physical hazards.
Sungrow’s Turnkey Station is equipped with insulation resistance monitoring function to
detect the system insulation resistance in real time. If low resistance is detected, it will send
alarm at the first time to remind the user and prevent potential hazards.
10.10.2 Simple Troubleshooting

Regardless of the Turnkey Station setting, when the insulation resistance is below the
threshold (can be set on the LCD display), the Turnkey Station will send alarm signal and
the Operation LED will turn to yellow. After receiving the “low insulation resistance” alarm
signal, the user should stop the device and check the specific insulation resistance via the
LCD screen “Function/Run-information/Real time data”.
 If the insulation resistance recovers to be normal, the fault loop is on the AC side.
 If the insulation resistance is still low, the fault loop is on the DC side.
 No matter the fault is on the DC side or on the AC side, a thorough checking and
troubleshooting after the system is powered down is necessary.
10.11 Protection Function

The Turnkey Station has complete protection functions to protect itself when input voltage
or grid is abnormal. After the anomaly is removed, the Turnkey Station can operate
normally.
10.11.1 DC over-voltage protection

When the DC voltage of the PV array exceeds the max. DC voltage, the Turnkey Station
will stop operating, send warning signal, and display the fault type on the LCD screen.
The Turnkey Station can detect the abnormal voltage and respond quickly.
78
10.11.2 AC over/under-voltage protection

When the Turnkey Station AC output voltage exceeds the allowable range, the Turnkey
Station will stop feeding the grid, send warning signal, and display the fault type on the LCD
screen.
The Turnkey Station can detect the abnormal voltage and respond quickly.
10.11.3 Frequency anomaly protection

When the grid frequency exceeds the allowable range, the Turnkey Station will stop feeding
the grid, send warning signal, and display the fault type on the LCD screen.
The Turnkey Station can detect the abnormal frequency and respond quickly.
10.11.4 Islanding protection

Islanding is a case that can occur if the utility grid is disconnected while the Turnkey Station
is operating and the local load of the Turnkey Station is similar to the present output power.
“Islanding” is a potential threaten to devices and operators.
− If the Turnkey Station continues supplying power after the grid is out of power
supply, death or injury may occur to the maintainers during maintenance.
− When power grid fails, the Turnkey Station continues supplying power. Once the
grid resumes, a surge current may occur and damage devices.
The Turnkey Station is equipped with anti-islanding protection function.
In anti-islanding protection state, high voltage is still present. Disconnect the

main switch and discharge before testing or maintenance.
10.11.5 Reverse polarity protection

When the PV array inputs’ polarities are connected reversely, the Turnkey Station will stop
and protect itself against damage, and the Turnkey Station operate normally after the
connection is corrected.
10.11.6 Overload protection

When the PV array output power exceeds the Turnkey Station permissible maximum input
power, the Turnkey Station will limit the power yield at maximum AC power point. If the
temperature exceeds the permissible value, the Turnkey Station will automatically stop
operating unless the the temperature recovers to be normal.
10.11.7 Ground protection

The grounding cables are equipped with the leakage current sensor. When it is detected
that the leakage current exceeds the setting value, the system will send an instruction to
stop the Turnkey Station and display the fault type on the LCD screen.
10.11.8 Module over-temperature protection

IGBT modules inside the Turnkey Station use a high-precision thermal sensor with to
monitor the real-time module temperature. Once high module temperature is detected,
DSP will send instruction to stop the Turnkey Station.
79
10.11.9 Internal over-temperature protection

The Turnkey Station is equipped with high-precision thermal sensor to monitor the internal
temperature of the Turnkey Station. Once the over-temperature is detected, the DSP will
help to maintain the safe operation of the Turnkey Station by sending an instruction to stop
the Turnkey Station.
10.12 Firefighting
The Turnkey Station is equipped with the smoke detector and temperature & humidity
sensor. Both the two detectors should be inspected and maintained regularly.
When the smoke concentration and the temperature inside the turnkey station reach the
set values, temperature anomaly or over temperature occurs. Correspondingly, the tripping
of the DC and AC switches is triggered, so as to protect personal and property safety.
The foregoing alarm information is displayed on the external LCD of the inverter.
After eliminating the alarm, the user needs to remove the alarm signal manually.

bottom of the DC cabinet.
Operations before replacement

Follow the procedure below to replace the fault fuse.
Step 1 Stop the Turnkey Station via the stop instruction on the LCD screen.
Step 2 Disconnect DC output switches of all PV array combiner boxes upstream.
Step 3 Disconnect the DC and AC side switches of the Turnkey Station and auxiliary power supply
switches, and perform Step 4 about 5 minutes later when the capacitor inside the machine
discharges completely.
Step 4 Use a multimeter with a measuring range of 1500Vdc to check whether voltages of the
connection terminal on the DC side of the Turnkey Station are zeros, where the voltages
include the voltage between the positive and negative poles, the positive to ground voltage,
and the negative to ground voltage.
Step 5 Open the left door with the key and remove the protective grid in the DC fuses area.
Step 6 Measure each DC input voltage by using the multimeter, and perform the next step after
ensuring the wiring terminal is completely voltage-free.
Step 7 Replace the fault fuse.
Replacement of the fault fuse
The fuse must be replaced with one of the same model and from the same
manufacturer.
Obtain the model from the marking on the fuse. Contact us if otherwise.
99
Without our confirmation, do not replace the fuse with the one from another
manufacturers or of a different model.
Otherwise, Sungrow shall not be responsible for any possible personal injury or
property damage.
Proceed as follows to replace the fuses if necessary.
