PRELIMINARY
Theory of Operation
Models of Operation
Depending on the application, there are several operational models that can be configured using a
PRO-Verter.
Note:
The PRO-Verter settings used in each model of operation are unique and not
interchangeable. The PRO-Verter must be programmed specifically for the model of operation in
which the System is functioning. Damage to System components may occur if a PRO-Verter is
not properly programmed for the model of operation in which the System is functioning.
DC-only/Inverter (Automatic Functions)
Operating conditions: All power generated is from DC generators, and AC loads are supported by
the PRO-Verter’s Inverter function using energy stored in batteries.
Hybrid (Automatic Functions)
Operating conditions: The “Continuous Load” AC power requirement is LESS than the individual
Inverter or Generator/Grid AC power output ratings.
In the Hybrid model, the PRO-Verter serves as the primary power management device in a System,
using either inverter AC power or generator/grid AC power to maintain the load. In the Hybrid
Model, the batteries will cycle regularly to mitigate generator runtime and logistical support often
associated with operation in remote locations. Hybrid systems also provide the operator with a
flexible architecture that allows for the addition of multiple power sources, such as renewable power
generation.
Peak Power Delivery (Manual Functions)
Operating conditions: The “Peak Load” AC requirement is MORE than the PRO-Verter AC
continuous output ratings.
In the Peak Power Delivery model, the PRO-Verter combines generator or grid AC power with
inverter AC power to support “peak” AC for brief periods. This mode can only be supported for
limited durations and is directly dependent on the total battery capacity and state of charge (SOC).
