Full-Flexibility, Grid-Interactive/Off-Grid Inverter

Detailed Description

The Radian Series GS4048A-01 Grid/Hybrid™ (full-flexibility grid-interactive/off-grid) Inverter/Charger is engineered toward one goal: making system design and installation easier and faster in grid-interactive and comprehensive off-grid applications. The new Radian Series inherit the hallmark features of the original design, including: dual AC inputs for grid/generator flexibility with no external switching required, unparalleled surge capability and operational stability, easy field upgradeability and stacking capability for large system scaling, simplified system commissioning through a powerful, easy-to-use configuration wizard, and multi-mode operational flexibility.

In addition, both models have a new Advanced Battery Charging (ABC) profile option to support leading-edge battery technologies such as Lithium-Ion and others, and enhanced diagnostics for improved performance. And both incorporate OutBack’s GridZero technology, a superior level of intelligence in energy management for self-generation and self-consumption programs, providing precise balancing between using stored energy, solar and utility power, blending-in the latter to overcome surges and load spikes when needed. GridZero operation makes it possible for a smaller inverter and battery system to perform like a much larger one when required, putting stored and renewable energy sources to work and minimizing grid dependence. GridZero technology make the new Radians ideal for use in complex utility environments such as California and Hawaii.

The GS8048A and GS4048A-01 are certified to UL1741 SA for US applications, and CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 for Canada, and is IEC 62109-1 certified to meet the most stringent worldwide PV safety and emission standards.

This product is for selected North, Central and Latin American markets.

All Hybrid Inverter PV Systems will need rapid shutdown. The IMO BG10P34-11 remote shutdown button is an outdoor initiation switch that can be used to trigger PV system rapid shutdown.
IMO RSD Button BG10P34-11 > Rapid Shutdown Button compatible with APsmart Rapid Shutdown System

IEEE 1547-2018 requires the local communications interface to remain available whenever the DER is operating. This indirectly creates a requirement for the IQ Gateway not to reboot during and following a low voltage ride through event. The IQ Gateway hardware was redesigned to meet this requirement so installers must only choose from the list of supported hardware and be running software versions 7.3.460 or later to be fully compliant.

Detailed Description

The GS8048A-01 and GS4048A-01 are certified to UL1741 SA for US applications, and CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 for Canada, and is IEC 62109-1 certified to meet the most stringent worldwide PV safety and emission standards.

Simple integrated design

For the first time, nearly all of the components you need are combined in a single package. No matter what the application, no matter what the power requirement, we make it easy: Everything’s seamless. Easy to install. Simple and intuitive to live with.

Unsurpassed engineering to handle load surges

Keeping the lights on is easy. But what happens to the computer, wide-screen TV and other sensitive electronics loads if you need to power the well pump? The Radian Series is unique in its ability to support large dynamic load variations without voltage spikes or sags.

True energy independence

Basic grid-tie systems can sell back power from a renewable energy source, but only grid-interactive systems can power the load if the grid fails. The Radian Series Inverter/Charger’s dual AC inputs also provide the flexibility to connect to the grid and recharge the batteries from a generator. So you have a continuous power supply, even if emergency conditions last a week or more.

A power solution that scales

Finally, your customers can get the security of a grid-interactive solution combined with the ease of a basic grid-direct PV system. 120/240V output integrates directly into standard home wiring, while the modular, parallel architecture combined with OutBack’s robust HUB Communications Manager provides the ability to build a system to power nearly any load imaginable

Radian Series Technologies

GridZero

The newest of the Grid/Hybrid Radian’s seven input modes, GridZero provides the perfect balance between utility power and stored renewable energy. By allowing a home or business to satisfy most of its power needs with renewable sources, grid supplied power is only tapped when load demand exceeds a pre-set threshold. While the Radian is still grid-connected, grid dependence can be reduced to zero whenever possible. GridZero technology offers four critical advantages compared to typical systems:

Higher System Economics: By maximizing the contribution of renewables to total energy consumption, selling back to the grid is no longer required for system Return on Investment (ROI).

Lower Cost-of-Entry: Through seamless blending of grid power and renewable energy sources, a smaller system can perform like a much larger one, reducing equipment and installation costs.

Greater Simplicity: Because the Radian Series remains connected and synchronized to the grid, no destabilizing transfer is required when grid power is needed.

“Best Case Scenario” Design: As energy policies and incentives change, GridZero technology can prioritize self-consumption and offset over sell-back to always deliver the best renewable energy value possible.

Advanced Battery Charging

OutBack built its reputation on legendary off-grid reliability and battery backup expertise. That background is thoroughly built into the new Radians. In addition to GridZero Technology, the new Radians also feature an Advanced Battery Charging (ABC) profile option. Advanced Battery Charging offers expanded charging voltage and time parameters, enabling system designers to accommodate the specific charging profiles and algorithms of newer energy storage technologies including:

Lithium Ion Batteries
Aqueous Ion Batteries
Flow Chemistry Batteries

Radian Series Operating Modes

1- Mini Grid Operating Mode:

Ideal for sites where sufficient renewable energy enables mostly off-grid operation.

2- Grid-Tied Operating Mode:

Ideal for systems in regions with Feed-in-Tarrif (FiT), net-metering or other incentive programs. Control use features include grid use timers.

3- GridZero Operating Mode:

Ideal in areas where incentives are subject to change and utility sell-back options may be limited. Control use features include grid use timers.

4- Support Operating Mode:

Ideal for sites with small generators or inadequate grid power. Control use features include system-level high battery transfer (HBX) programming, prioritizing batteries as primary source.

5- Backup Operating Mode:

Ideal for systems where computers and other sensitive loads are present. Control use features include system-level high battery transfer (HBX) programming, prioritizing batteries as primary source.

6- UPS Operating Mode:

Ideal for commercial applications where uninterrupted power is mission-critical.

7- Generator Operating Mode:

Ideal for systems with undersized or low power quality generators.

The Future of Grid-Tie Stability

As more PV is installed on electrical grids, grid operators need flexible tools to help ensure stability and reliability. Areas with the highest PV penetration rates (Hawaii and California) will soon require grid interconnected systems to have "Grid Support" functions.

OutBack Power is certifying the Radian Series inverter/chargers (along with the FXR Series in the near future) under the new UL 1741 SA test standard to demonstrate compliance with these new requirements from CA Rule 21 and HECO Rule 14H.

What is UL 1741 SA and When Does it Take Effect?

UL 1741 SA is the new safety test standard certifying products which meet the rigorous requirements needed to ensure safe and reliable operation in support of grid modernization efforts. Grid support or "smart inverter" functionality will be required by Hawaii and California beginning September 8, 2017.

Although Hawaii and California are the first states to require grid support functions, expected updates to the IEEE 1547 interconnection standard will make these functions mandatory throughout most of North America within two to three years.

Is Grid Support Important?

As the PV market has grown, the industry has seen increasing grid instability, voltage rise limits, and a lack of standard communication protocol. With added grid support functions, the Radian Series inverter/chargers are being listed to UL 1741 SA, solving key grid integration challenges. UL 1741 SA compliance is planned for OutBack's FXR A Series in the near future.

With the advent of grid support technology, UL 1741 SA compliant models can regulate voltage and power, and they can prevent loss of power generation due to grid disturbances.
