What is Limit import and how can I use import limiting?

Limiting import is exactly as it sounds—a feature to, as far as possible, restrict the import from the grid. Limit Import is currently only used in conjunction with load management control of EV charging and in energy sharing in PowerShare to limit imported power to the property as much as possible.

Since the EnergyHub does not control the majority of loads in your property, we cannot directly control the consumption from these loads. However, if we control your charging station, for example, we can dynamically adjust the charging power up and down to counteract other consumption in the property.

If the EnergyHub is part of a PowerShare, we can use Limit Import to possibly draw more power from the DC network to cover the consumption in the property.

NOTE! The configuration of PowerShare is still in the beta stage and requires an understanding of how the different droop curves generated by the operating settings of the EnergyHub in each property in the PowerShare system interact. Therefore, we recommend that you contact us for assistance with this so that we can configure your PowerShare according to your preferences.

We constantly want to improve the content in the Knowledge Database and would appreciate it if you give feedback on our articles. Does all the information exist, is there anything that needs to be clarified or is there any information that is missing that would help installing or using the EnergyHub system in general? You can give us feedback by choosing if the article was helpful or not in the options below. 

If you need to get in contact with Ferroamp's Technical Support or if you have any questions about the system, you can do so by creating a ticket here.
