DG Synchronization

We are actively engaged in supplying high performance DG Synchronization Panel which comes
complete with Controlling & Protection Relays capable of synchronizing of more than one DG
sets / with Mains & DG and with necessary protections. The offered product is precisely
designed and manufactured by utilizing optimum quality raw material and sophisticated
technology. Furthermore, we offer this DG Synchronization panel in various technical
specifications at affordable prices.

PLC system has been designed to provide following salient features for DG sets

a) Auto Mains Failure (AMF) or Load Management (mains available)

b) Electrical parameter monitoring

c) Auto synchronization

c) Auto Load Sharing

d) Load Management System (mains not available)

e) Protection


Auto Mains Failure (AMF) or Load Management

The system will come in operation after sensing of Grid Failure. The initiation of DG operation
can be done in AUTO / MANUAL mode from Man-Machine-Interface to automatically
control the start & stop of engines, depending on the predefined load & DG selection in the
PLC.

In case DG engines do not start in the first cranking, two or more auto commands should be
given with proper intervals. Even that if engine fails to start indication will appear on Man-
Machine-Interface.

At the time of power failure PLC will start engines as per LOAD requirement i.e. Running load
is sufficient only for one engine when PLC will start only Master DG & in another case if Load
requirement is for Three DG sets, PLC will start Master, Second & Third engine as per
selection.

PLC will sense the Load running on Transformer in every 3 seconds to start the No. of DG sets
as per the Load requirement.

In the case of Load management during Power Available. If Load exceeds more than the
capacity of the Transformer then PLC will start Master Engine and close the breaker for the
same engine, or, as per Load requirement if two or more engines required. In this case Bus
Coupler will be in open Position as per requirement of Single Line Diagram.


Auto Synchronization

The facility of synchronization will be available in Auto mode. In normal circumstances the
auto synchronization will work, however due to any reason auto synchronization fails, PLC
will generate an audio visual alarm and initiate start command to next generator ready for
operation. Before synchronization PLC system will monitor & control DG parameters like
voltage, frequency & phase angle difference and when the parameters of main bus & DG will
be in defined range, PLC system will connect the output of DG to main bus.

Auto Load Sharing

Sensing both active & reactive power will perform auto load sharing. The percentage loading of
a particular DG will be fed by MMI. This feature is important when synchronization is done
between new and old, or between DGs of different ratings. New DG is normally has high
loading factor than a old DG. PLC will allow only predefined loading to all the DGs

Load Management System

Load management system is designed for auto start/ stop for the slave DG sets as per the load
requirement i.e. in case of running DG sets being over load (more than 80%) then PLC will start
the next DG sets after a pre-defined time delay. After starting the DG set PLC will take care the
synchronization and proper load sharing as per DG rating. In case running DG sets being under
load (less than 60%) then PLC will stop the one DG set after transferring the load on another
running DG sets.

There is another provision to By Pass Load management system. If you want to start/stop slave
engines Manually through SCADA or MMI with auto synchronization. In this case DG start/stop
can be done through SCADA or MMI only and close breaker after achieving the required
parameters of Synchronization.

I nbuilt Auto Safety Protection

The proposed system also provide protection as external relays gives for Reverse Power,
Reverse KVAR, Over Current, Under Voltage, Over Voltage, Under Frequency, Over
Frequency, Synchro check & Earth Fault.


SYSTEM FEATURES

The system is designed run in AUTO as well as in MANUAL mode. In auto mode
the system will run automatically with predefined sequence and in manual mode
all the operation will be done as per the sequence will be defined by operator.

DGs will be started & stopped automatically as per the load requirement on the
main bus.

Selection of DGs for DG start stop automatically on sudden load requirement.

Automatic synchronization of DG sets in Auto mode

Active & reactive Load sharing of each DG set

Automatic selection of Next DG as master after stopping / tripping of master DG to
close NGR circuit.

Monitoring of electrical parameter of each DG, voltage, frequency, reactive load,
active load, energy produced, voltage error (%), frequency error and phase angle
error etc.

Status & control of outgoing breakers

Back up protection electrical / mechanical by time delayed tripping of Dg sets.

Reverse power; reverse KVAR, under voltage, over voltage, under frequency, over
frequency, over current, low lube of oil pressure, high cooling water pump, over
speed etc.

Data acquisition system will be incorporated with the system for the purpose of
recording & display of all important & critical parameters of the engine, alternator
& system as such in totality. Operation of the system will also be through operator
interface with graphics screen into PC Pentium computer.

B checks alarm after each DG complete 300 hours of running for proper
maintenance.

Tripping of non-critical loads in the plant in case of under frequency of bus both in
isolation as well as synchronized mode.

Control of all auxiliary drive of DG sets will start stop automatically with proper
interlocks as per safety considerations.

PLC system will have provision to test the DG in auto mode without closing the
breaker to do the routine electrical / mechanical testing of DG sets without
interruption of power generation.





Master DG


PLC system will monitor the Grid Failure signal through under voltage relay. As soon as GRID
supply fails, PLC will start master DG set and after getting the proper voltage and frequency,
PLC will close the first neutral contactor and then DG incomer MCCB automatically after
ensuring the T/F ACB is in trip condition.
When GRID supply gets restored PLC will issue an audio-visual alarm after a pre-defined time
delay to operator attention. Change over will be done automatically by PLC with proper
interlock i.e. PLC will first trip the DG sets incomer ACB/ MCCB then transformer ACB shall
be switched-on automatically.

Slave DG:

Slave DG, start/ stop will be done as per Load Management system. After starting the slave DG
set, PLC will compare the Voltage, Frequency and Phase angle between Synchronizing bus &
reference bus. After matching these parameters PLC will close the slave DG ACB/ MCCB
automatically. Load sharing will be also done by PLC automatically.

Load Management System:

If Single DG is running on load and total load is more than 80% of running DG then PLC will
start the 2
nd
DG after a pre-defined time delay. Synchronization and load sharing shall be done
by PLC automatically.
If two DG`s are running on load and total load is more than 80% of running DG`s then PLC will
start the 3
rd
DG set after a pre-defined time delay. Synchronization and load sharing shall be
done by PLC automatically.
If N DG set are running on load and total load is less than 70% of N-1 DG set then PLC will trip
the ACB/MCCB of last DG automatically after a pre-defined time delay. Engine will stop after 3
minutes idle running in auto mode.
Above process shall continue while running the system in auto mode to achieve the maximum
efficiency of DG set.
