Operating Modes
9.1
Waiting for Surplus
eddi
is waiting for surplus power from the microgeneration
system.
The house in the centre is straight faced as grid electricity is
being used by the house (0.8kW in this example).
We can see that
eddi
hasn't started heating with surplus power
yet today as there is no accumulated energy; indicated by the
0.00kWh under the water cylinder symbol.
9.2
Heating
eddi
is now diverting power to the heater.
The heater currently being heated is shown by the icon on the
right and the small number (1 in this case) corresponds to the
heater number.
The amount of power being diverted at any one moment is shown
between the
eddi
icon and the heater icon (in this screenshot the
diverted power is 1.6kW).
All of the surplus energy which has been set to the heater today
is displayed under the heater icon (1.30kWh) in this example.
Now the house is smiling because there is no grid electricity
being used.
9.3
Max Temp Reached
The heater is now at maximum temperature.
Now there are no arrows or power figures for the heater and a
thermometer symbol is shown.
As
eddi
is no longer able to divert the surplus power to the heater
and so this is now exported to the grid (0.8kW in this example).
If there is a second heater present (connected to Heater 2),
eddi
will switch over to start heating Heater 2.
9.4
Boosting
Boosting means
eddi
is giving maximum power to the heater,
irrespective of available surplus power.
The arrows going to the heater are large and the power figure
(3.0kW in the example screen) is the heater’s maximum power
level.
During a boost , it is likely that there will be power imported from
the grid (2.8kW here).
The timer starts at (1h00m) and will count down until the boost
ends. The boost duration may be altered with the (
↑
) and (
↓
)
arrows.
