Still Trying to Figure This All Out
Help me out here a bit: When the PWs want to reduce the output of the inverters they will RAISE? the frequency? And when they want to reduce the Tesla cars draw from a power source they will LOWER the frequency?To add evidence to this, when you query the API, the following values are visible for the operation mode:
JSON:{ "real_mode": "autonomous", "backup_reserve_percent": 33.5, "freq_shift_load_shed_soe": 90, "freq_shift_load_shed_delta_f": -0.32 }
The "freq_shift_load_shed_soe" changes when you change the off-grid EV charging reserve. This is how the gateway can "communicate" with the EV when off-grid.
So it's not just the frequency change, but whether it's raised or lowered? The industry supports the inverter model, but the lowering feature is unique to Tesla?
