Parameters

NameDescriptionValueLevel
power [W]Poweroptional
soc [%]Chargeoptional
controllableControllable

Supports active battery control

advanced
capacity [kWh]Battery capacity
Example: 50
advanced
minsoc [%]Minimum charge

Lower limit as configured on the battery system. Used by optimizer.

Default: 0
Example: 25
advanced
maxsoc [%]Maximum charge

Upper limit as configured on the battery system. Used by optimizer and, on some devices, for grid charging.

Default: 100
Example: 95
advanced
maxchargepower [W]Maximum charge power

Highest power the battery system can charge with. The optimizer plans with charging up to this power. Some devices also use it as grid charging power.

advanced
maxdischargepower [W]Maximum discharge power

Highest power the battery system can discharge with. The optimizer plans with discharging up to this power. Smart mode assumes the battery supplies at most this power to vehicle charging.
