Genset "G" is controlled by GENCON® II.
In#1 is one of its 16 contact sensing inputs. K#7 is one of its 11 output relays.
This diagram describes a peak-lopping (shaving) genset application:
Genset "G" is controlled by GENCON® II.
In#1 is one of its 16 contact sensing inputs. K#7 is one of its 11 output
relays.
Operation:
GENCON® II starts the genset when its In#1 input is activated.
It synchronizes the genset with the mains. When the voltage and the phase
of the generator are sufficiently close to the voltage and the phase of
the mains, the relay K#7 closes the generator breaker and parallel connection
with the mains begins. The genset raises the amount of active (kW) and
reactive (kVAr) power that it exports to the mains at a predetermined rate,
until the export quotas are met. When the In#1 input is deactivated, export
of power is reduced at a predetermined rate. When reaching zero the relay
K#7 is de energized, the generator breaker opens and the genset stops after
a cooling off period.
The active power (kW) export cycle (the reactive power (kVAr) export cycle
is similar).
