Device and system description
2.1 Using the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter
The KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter (KSEM) is a measuring
device, which determines electrical measuring values
at the grid connection point and is available via LAN
or RS485. It can be used in combination with various
KOSTAL solar inverters and batteries.
This includes the following inverters:
n
PLENTICORE plus
n
PLENTICORE BI
n
PIKO IQ
n
PIKO MP plus
n
PIKO 4.2-20
n
PIKO EPC
These can be used in combination with the KOSTAL
Smart Energy Meter for the following applications:
n
reading the current home consumption and output
power
n
Power curtailment of inverters down to 0W
n
If several PV systems in the same home network
share a multiple-inverter connection, only one
KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter is required at the grid
connection point
n
If using PIKO MP plus with a battery, the battery
management, which controls the battery’s charging
/ discharging, is taken over by the KOSTAL Smart
Energy Meter,
n
sending consumption data to the KOSTAL Solar
Portal
