Hello
I have energy storage charged from PV panels.
But winter is going and they produce poorly and electricity is needed
I don't have mains power, only a generator.
What I would like to obtain:
As the inverter doesn't want to charge my storage from the genset - I don't know why; it shows 50Hz with pennies and a voltage of 240V.
I decided to 'straighten' this current and connect it as DC instead of PV modules.
I used a full bridge, followed by a capacitor from the description to 400 V and plugged this in instead of the panels, and it doesn't work as I wanted.
I should add that the genset is 3-phase and I would like to load it evenly (use all phases) and, therefore, get 3 times the charging current.
Does this have a chance of working?
So far nothing has exploded apart from the capacitor, but this is probably due to the fact that I've connected temporarily 'dry', with no load/power consumption.
It charges poorly, the genset works strangely on this solution and I don't know if it's being overloaded by my invention or if something is "fighting" with itself.
I hope someone has understood me and is able to give me a hint.
Best regards, Czarek
