How do you limit export to meet a G99 or G100 condition?

Short answer

Use an EREC G100 customer limitation scheme: the inverter or controller measures export at the connection point with a CT or meter and throttles generation or battery discharge to the agreed export capacity. Choose a fully type-tested scheme on the ENA register, and make sure CT loss or wiring faults fail safe rather than letting export run unlimited.

In more detail

  • G100 Issue 2 Amendment 2 (2023) covers export and import limitation.
  • MIS 3012 cl.3.5.22/3.5.36: CT housing/connection such that removal does not defeat limitation; monitor for CT faults.
  • Manufacturer G100 declarations show response within 5 s and permanent fail-safe reduction on CT/signal loss.
  • Software limiting of inverter Registered Capacity (G99 definition) is separate from G100 export limitation.
  • Export limits constrain battery-to-grid discharge too (field evidence).
