Profit Diagram
Click to check the S/N account. Click the home income graph to view the income for a specific
time period.
Description:
The income chart can also be calculated monthly, yearly, or from the day of installation; Total
Income: Total Income; Total Investment: Total Input Cost (this value can be set by clicking the
button next to it); Progress bar is the ratio of total income to total cost.
Feed-in: Income from grid feed-in, if there is a feed-in tariff.
Self-consumption: Income from PV-generation
Load shifting: Income from charging the battery at low electricity price and use it at high
electricity price, if there is different electricity tariff in one day
Demand charge: For demand charge management application, if there is demand charge.

System Setup
The system settings include charge and discharge settings, Backup Box, and Aux contact
settings.
The main function of the charge and discharge setting is to set the charging and discharging
time period of the system at the on-grid situation. Users should pay attention to the
charge/discharge value to prevent overcharging and over discharging of the battery.
Backup Box is to set the priority of each load if a backup box is used.
Aux Contact Settings
Aux contact settings is only for the end user, whose energy storage system has already aux
contact function and who uses a device with dry contact and this device has been connected
correctly with the system. Currently aux contact function is available on Storion-SMILE-5.
Under aux contact function, the UPS mode should be disable.
After wiring the aux contact function can be set on the server.
1. Click “System setup” and click “AUX Contact setting”, then the following inter-face appears:
2. Click AUX Contact Channel to choose AUX 1 or AUX 2. Two devices can be controlled.

3. Click “enable” to set if the function for the chosen channel is available.
4. Click “Control Mode” to set the function mode, we have 3 modes for the AUX contact: On,
Off and Auto.
a. Control Mode On
Set the time and days for switching on like the following figure. You can set one or two time
periods. In the set periods the Aux contact will be switched on, outside the set periods the Aux
contact doesn’t work.
If the two periods overlap, only the first period will be active. In this mode the normal self-
consumption logic will be used.
b. Control Mode Off
Set the time and days for switching off like the following figure. You can set one or two time
periods. In the set periods the Aux Contact will be switched off. If you don’t set the period the
function doesn’t work.
If the two periods overlap, only the first period will be active. In this mode the normal self-
consumption logic will be used.
In this mode the normal self-consumption logic will be used.
c. Control Mode Auto
It means the Aux contact will be switched automatically on and off according to the following
logic.
Under Auto Mode, the period control function doesn’t work. In this mode the following further
specifications should be set.
c.1 You can set the SOC to activate. There are three modes can be set:

Alpha ESS Co., Ltd.
Page 19 of 22
Your Smart Energy Basic Settings
1. “≥”, namely when SOC ≥ given value, it works.
2. “≤”, namely when SOC ≤ given value, it works.
3. “disable“, namely the Aux contact control is not related to the SOC value.
c.2 You can also set surplus energy range, namely the feed-in condition.
Set the feed-in power values as the following figure.
When the feed-in power > left given value, the Aux contact will be switched on.
When the feed-in power < right given value, the Aux contact will be switched off (or back to the
initial situation).
c.3 The delay, duration and pause time also can be set to prevent too frequent switch on and
off.
Delay
The Aux contact will work (be switched on/off) after the given time if some condition is fulfilled.
Duration
After the Aux contact being switched on, it will not be switched off before the given time passed.
Pause
After the Aux contact being switched off, it will not be switched on before the given time passed
In this mode the normal self-consumption logic will be used.
