LIBRA CCI UPS

Expandable integrated system for generation plant monitoring

Expandable integrated monitoring system for power generation plants, compliant with CEI 0-16 Annexes O and T, in accordance with ARERA Resolution 540/2021/R/EEL and the subsequent ARERA Resolution 385/2025/R/EEL, which require all new and existing photovoltaic and wind power plants with a capacity of 100 kW or greater connected to the MV grid to be equipped with a Central Plant Controller (CCI) featuring Active Power Limitation under external DSO command (PF2) for inverter control.

The integrated energy analyzer provides a measurement accuracy class of ≤ 0.2, as required by CEI 0-16:2025-04, Annex O (normative), Central Plant Controller (CCI), section O.13.2.1.

The system also provides:

  • Power Quality analysis compliant with EN 50160 and EN 61000-4-30
  • Environmental parameter monitoring
  • Integrated UPS to ensure uninterrupted power supply

Communication interfaces include:

  • Ethernet with three dedicated ports
  • Integrated 2G/3G/4G/LTE Cat.1 modem
  • Integrated GPS/GLONASS module
  • External antennas for both modem and GPS

The device also functions as a network bridge between the RJ45 Ethernet port and the RS485 port for Modbus communication with Electrex devices connected on the RS485 subnetwork.

Additional features include:

  • Battery-backed perpetual astronomical clock/calendar
  • Non-volatile memory
  • Individual harmonic measurement up to the 51st order
  • Detection of voltage sags, swells, and interruptions
  • Integrated web server for displaying real-time measurements and historical data
  • Five opto-isolated digital inputs for status monitoring and pulse counting
  • Three relay digital outputs for status or pulse operation (other versions available upon request)
  • Optional expansion modules providing additional I/O and/or up to eight inputs for Electrex environmental sensors
  • Remote firmware update
  • Graphic FSTN display
  • Two calibration LEDs

Current transformer, power supply, and voltage connections are made through polarized connectors, enabling fast, error-free plug-and-play installation.

The package includes:

  • One 5-pole female connector for voltage and power supply wiring
  • One 6-pole female connector for current transformer connections with 2 m cable
  • External 4G antenna for the integrated modem with 5 m cable
  • Magnetic GPS/GLONASS antenna supplied with 5 m RG174 cable

Power supply: 230 Vac
