For AlphaESS single-phase battery systems, can I still connect them to a 3-phase grid?
Yes, you can. When connecting, 3-phase meters are used. These meters will ensure that the required power of the battery will be compensated on the 3 phases.
An example:
Two consumers each need 500 Watt at a certain moment and are connected to phase 1 and phase 2, for example. The battery system is connected to phase 3, and there is currently no demand for energy on that phase. The AlphaESS system then measures how much electricity is needed in total over the 3 phases at that moment (in this case 1000 Watt). This electricity is made available on phase 3 because the home battery is connected to that phase.
Because there is no consumption on phase 3 at that moment, the 1,000 Watt on phase 3 is injected into the electricity grid. At the same time, the 500 Watts needed by the users on phase 1 and on phase 2 are withdrawn from the grid. The same amount of electricity that the users need is therefore injected on phase 3 (1,000 Watts) and withdrawn on phase 1 (500 Watts) and phase 2 (500 Watts). In this case, the electricity meter is stopped, so there is no additional electricity cost.
