Solar Hybrid PCU with Bluetooth

First Solar Hybrid PCU with Bluetooth based mobile application lunched by Su-vstika. This is the Solar PCU with Bluetooth application which can be represented with the mobile app very easily as it has so many settings and scenarios to understand and for the common man it’s very tough to understand Solar PCU without the mobile […]

Let us try to understand the Solar Hybrid PCU first. We call it solar hybrid PCU because it has the off Grid Solar along with the Grid power which is use to charge the battery. in off grid solar application the battery is being charged through the solar and there is no grid present so the solar energy is only use to power the house and appliances. Where as the Solar Hybrid PCU the grid is also available and the solar is also available and how this Solar Hybrid PCU works can be shown through the animation and the mobile application very easily.

So in the first scenario we are showing that the grid is not available and the solar energy is available and battery is being charged through the solar and load is also running on the solar. We have to understand that if the load is lesser than solar energy than only battery will be charged in this case. So the solar energy is flowing through the battery while charging and discharging the battery simultaneously as the solar power is always connected through the battery only in case of the Hybrid Solar PCU.https://suvastika.com/benefits-of-bluetooth-hybrid-solar-pcu/

This is another scenario where the battery got fully charged and solar power is also available than our solar hybrid PCU will cut the grid power and utilise the solar power so that the solar power doesnt get wasted. In this scenario there will be possibility of battery being charged and the load is running or battery is being discharged along with the solar power to run the load. It depends on the power being utilized by the load if house load is lesser than the solar power available than the solar power will charge the battery and supply the power to the home. But if the house has more load than the solar power available than the solar power along with the battery power will run the house load so in this case battery will be discharging.https://suvastika.com/what-is-hybrid-solar-pcu-solar-hybrid-off-grid-system/

In another scenario both the grid Power is also available and the solar power is also available than the Grid power will be running the house load and the solar power will charge the battery. There can be two scenarios in this if the solar power is enough to charge the battery than it will only chaarge the battery but if it is not enough power to charge the battery than the battery will be charged from both sources from the grid and from the solar power also.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

Solar PCU Scenario

Another scenario is that Grid is available and solar is not available in that case the battery will be charged and Grid power will be running the load. Mostly it will be the night mode or a cloudy day and battery be kept will be kept charged through the grid so that in case the grid fails than back up is given by the battery.

Comparison between Online UPS and Lift Inverter/Lift UPS/ERD

What is the Comparison between Online UPS and Lift Inverter/Lift UPS/ERD? When installing a power backup for the lifts and escalators, there is always a suggestion to install the Online UPS as people feel that there is a switching time to remove when the power goes and come back. So here we have made a technical comparison of how the Online UPS and Lift Inverter/ERD technology is different from each other in the case of installing the backup for the lifts.https://techbullion.com/what-makes-erd-ups-better-than-online-ups/ We at Su-vastika filed 3 Technology patents and got one patent because we worked on the lift backup technology and kept improving the lift backups.https://suvastika.com/whats-lift-inverter-and-compare-with-lift-ups/

Lift picture

The Online UPS is designed for computer, and IT loads as the load is almost fixed, so they get very high efficiency. In contrast, the 3-phase Induction motors used in lifts have a varying load as the load varies when the lift moves in upward and downward conditions, so the load varies drastically. Hence, the power factor in the online UPS varies, which creates a big electricity bill for the online UPS as well the battery life is reduced since the battery is always functional in the case of Online UPS.
Especially the High-Frequency triple conversion online UPS has a big electricity consumption in case they are used in lifts. Since there is no isolation transformer, they are prone to high failure as the induction motor creates a lot of jerks, spikes, and surges, which the three-phase triple conversion technology can’t handle without the isolation transformer.
The backup time with the same battery bank will be lower than the Lift Inverter/ERD as the inverter efficiency is very high, even if the load varies from 10% to 100%. In contrast, the Online UPS efficiency depends on the percentage of load percentage.
The online UPS converts the power from the AC to DC and again to AC power which needs constant consumption of power as the power conversion creates losses also; at the same time, it charges and discharges batteries, whereas the Lift Inverter/ERD is only using the power, for charging from the ERD and once the battery is charged it stops so after that no power is being consumed.
The Lift Inverter/ERD only activates in the battery mode when the power goes. Still, the Online UPS always consumes power through the mains and batteries to regulate the power to make it a constant voltage not required by the lifts.
The switching time in the Lift Inverter/ERD is less than three milliseconds, which is enough to take the lift load without any jerk, a patented technology developed by Su-vastika in India.
Since the lifts don’t have any jerks etc. so the ECU is connected through the RS485 at the back of the ERD system and which gives a signal inside the lifts to tell the passenger travelling in the lift whether he is using mains power or battery power and in case of the low battery of lift the lifts are stopped at a floor. Doors are being opened, and lifts don’t work after that.
The ERD technology has the future capability of solar compatibility as the external solar charge controller can be added to the ERD system, which will allow the normal ERD backup system to solar based ERD system which can run the lifts and elevators completely on the solar power and save the substantial power bills.
The most crucial point is online UPS is designed for 180-265 Volts, so the moment the voltage reduces by 180 V, the battery is being used for the back. In that case, the battery is mostly used for stabilizing the voltage, and when the electric cut takes place, there is hardly any back left. Also, 265 Volts is very common in India, so the battery will mostly be used for this purpose rather than for power cuts.
The companies design lifts on 3 phase, which has a wide voltage range and can work on the voltage range of 370-450Volts which is a range under which it works properly, whereas the Online UPS range for 3 phase has a limited voltage range and always try to give 220V+/- 1%, which is not required by the lifts and Escalators. The power consumption from the grid and the battery are required to make this voltage, which creates extra power bills and reduces the battery life; when we make the comparison between Online UPS and the Lift Inverter/Lift UPS/ERD, then we realize that they are not comparable at all.

11. The Lift Inverter/ERD can be run on a Lithium battery to increase the life of the Lift Inverter/ERD. Online UPS works on Lead acid-based SMF or Tubular batteries. The space taken by the Lithium and SMF batteries and the life and weight comparison is impossible.

12. The Lift Inverter/ERD designed by Su-vastika can monitor and control the ERD through the IOT devices like GSM and Wi-Fi having the mobile application. We can see all the parameters, like voltages in all three phases and the load on all three phases etc.

13. Digital Warranty Online UPS does not have the Digital Warranty. Generally, it comes with one year warranty where. In contrast, we at Su-vastika have a Digital warranty in all our product ranges and offer a two-year warranty without any warranty card as the product has a built Digital warranty clock.

Conclusion: The Comparison between Online UPS and Lift Inverter/Lift UPS/ERD clearly shows that Online UPS is not meant to carry backups.
