ESS PCS Grid-Fault Ride-Through Test — CN→AO Corridor (Sungrow ST2752UX + LFP)

Process / SOP · TradVolt · Sungrow ST2752UX (2752 kWh liquid-cooled LFP container ESS, paired with SG3150/4400UD-MV MV inverter) · China origin → Angola destination · Manual scope: Sungrow ST2752UX Service Manual Rev 2.1 (2025-08-15) and SG3150/4400UD-MV Service Manual Rev 1.4 (2025-06-10) · Last reviewed 2026-09-22

Verdict (answer-first): Pass criterion — the Sungrow ST2752UX + SG3150/4400UD-MV must remain grid-connected through a 0.30 pu voltage dip for ≥ 625 ms and recover reactive current injection within 80 ms, per Sungrow ST2752UX Service Manual Rev 2.1 §6.3 (2025-08-15) and SG3150/4400UD-MV Service Manual Rev 1.4 §5.4 (2025-06-10). Equipment: Sungrow ST2752UX 1500 V DC liquid-cooled LFP container (2752 kWh stored energy, -30 to 50 °C operating) paired with SG3150/4400UD-MV MV inverter. Location: CN manufacturer site → Luanda Port (AO) → Angola project site. Horizon: ~14 calendar days on-site, excluding 30–40 days sea transit. Evidence date: 2026-09-22. Limitation: AO grid-code-specific LVRT envelope values are PENDING — lookup on AGT portal and must be reconciled against any project-specific grid connection agreement before final acceptance.

1. Scope and applicability

This Standard Operating Procedure governs the grid-fault ride-through test (commonly LVRT for low-voltage and ZVRT for zero-voltage events) of a Sungrow ST2752UX liquid-cooled LFP container (1500 V DC, 2752 kWh, -30 to 50 °C operating range) paired with a Sungrow SG3150/4400UD-MV MV inverter. The workflow applies to containers shipped from China to Angola, including OEM bench verification, export and import customs handling, site re-acceptance, and on-site grid-fault test execution.

The test objectives are to demonstrate that the ST2752UX + SG3150/4400UD-MV system remains connected during a defined voltage sag to 0.30 pu, supports the grid during the fault window, and resumes nominal dispatch within the time bounds stated in Sungrow ST2752UX Service Manual Rev 2.1 §6.3 and SG3150/4400UD-MV Service Manual Rev 1.4 §5.4. Acceptance sampling uses ISO 2859-1:1999 normal inspection, Level II, AQL 1.0. International trade terms follow ICC Incoterms 2020.
