voltage and frequency of the bus are determined by the<br />
"master" genset governor and AVR independent<br />
characteristics. The "slave" gensets however by continuously<br />
varying the governor and AVR external controls make the<br />
"slave" gensets load share exactly match the load share of the<br />
"master".<br />
The figure describes a three genset system with controllers A,<br />
B and C. The bus to load contactor is closed only if the bus is<br />
powered by at least two gensets.<br />
#3 Load dependent start/stop sequencing<br />
In power plants based on paralleling gensets it is often<br />
BUS<br />
required to start and stop gensets automatically according to<br />
the plant load. If all the gensets have equal kW rating, the<br />
C.In#1 G3<br />
Parall Auto Start option in configuration #3 <strong>pro</strong>vides an all<br />
C.V4<br />
software solution. If there are only two gensets this option can still be used even if the ratings are different, see<br />
example 2. The power plant operator can define the gensets' starting/stopping sequence from any controller<br />
panel via the SEQUENCE command.<br />
The following rules determine when the system starts and when it stops a genset. The word "system" means the<br />
collection of all the controllers that are connected to the RS485 network -- there is no dedicated "managing<br />
computer."<br />
Denote the gensets' Xre: Rated kW as one unit of power (100%). Denote also by:<br />
λ The power that each paralleling genset contributes. Thus, (1−λ) is the spare genset power capacity.<br />
Ν The number of gensets that run in parallel. Thus, (1−λ)∗Ν is the spare system power capacity.<br />
α The set-point +%kW/Xre→ Start, usually the same value is defined in all the controllers.<br />
β The set-point +%kW/Xre→ Stop, usually the same value is defined in all the controllers and α
