Smart Energy Meter (Smart Meter) GoodWe SEC1000

The GoodWe SEC1000 Smart Energy Meter is an advanced device designed to optimise and efficiently manage the performance of solar installations. Fully developed by GoodWe, this meter is an essential tool when combined with solar inverters of the same brand, allowing real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of various operational parameters to maximise the energy efficiency of the installation.

Intelligent Control and Energy Management:

The GoodWe SEC1000 has the ability to collect and analyse data in real-time, allowing solar installation owners to have full control over the production and distribution of energy. This smart meter can automatically adjust the active power, the power factor, and other important parameters of the solar plant, ensuring that energy production remains within optimal limits and that the system operates efficiently at all times.

Additionally, the SEC1000 meter can limit the AC output to the power grid, which is useful in installations where specific regulations regarding energy injection into the grid must be met, or in cases where it is desired to limit the surplus energy exported. This adjustment and control capability provides more efficient management of the system's energy resources, contributing to a better balance between self-consumption and solar energy production.

Advanced Design and Features:

The GoodWe SEC1000 is distinguished by its compact and modular design, but despite its small size, it offers a range of powerful functions. The system is composed of a three-phase meter and a control card developed by GoodWe, which work together to provide complete control over the solar power plant. This meter not only facilitates real-time monitoring but also dynamically adjusts the installation's parameters according to operational needs.

The SEC1000 smart meter can connect to GoodWe's SEMS (Smart Energy Management System) monitoring system, allowing for centralised and highly efficient management of multiple solar inverters. Through SEMS, users can control the performance of their inverters, analyse historical and real-time data, generate detailed reports, and optimise energy use remotely. This integration with SEMS makes the SEC1000 a key tool for managing not only an individual solar installation but also more complex systems with multiple inverters in series.

Resource Optimisation:

The GoodWe SEC1000 also helps improve the distribution and allocation of system resources. This is particularly useful in solar installations where the aim is to maximise self-consumption and minimise the energy fed into the grid. Thanks to its ability to limit energy output to the grid, the meter allows the generated energy to be used more efficiently within the installation itself, avoiding losses and optimising consumption.

Key Specifications:

• Three-phase meter: Compatible with three-phase solar installations, allowing independent control and monitoring of each phase.
• Automatic adjustment: Ability to adjust the active power and power factor of the solar plant according to system needs.
• AC output limitation: Controls the amount of energy exported to the grid, complying with local regulations or user preferences.
• SEMS connectivity: Integration with the SEMS energy management system for real-time monitoring and control of GoodWe inverter performance.
• Compact and modular design: The SEC1000 is small in size, facilitating installation, but features powerful energy management functions.
• Inverter management: Allows control of multiple inverters in series, optimising the overall performance of the installation.

Integration and Compatibility:

The SEC1000 has been designed to seamlessly integrate with GoodWe's range of solar inverters, enhancing their performance and providing advanced control over energy production and consumption. It is especially useful for residential and commercial installations looking to maximise their energy efficiency and improve the return on investment of their solar systems.
