General vacon · 5 1. General This application is not kept backwards compatible. See chapter Compatibility issues before you update the application. The Grid Converter application is used to make AC grids with a possibility to operate in parallel with other power sources. The Grid Converter application has 3 different operation modes: Standard AFE mode.
6 · vacon General Micro Grid Micro Grid mode controls the grid voltage and frequency. It functions like an ordinary generator. Micro Grid mode does not control DC Voltage. With the help of voltage droop and frequency droop, more than one Micro Grid and/or Generators can work together.
General vacon · 7 1.3.1 Operation principle: Droop Speed Control Mode When the power demand increases, all generators on the grid allow frequency to droop. This will balance the load between all the generators on the grid. Then the power management system gives all generators a command to increase frequency so that the grid frequency is maintained at its nominal value.
8 · vacon General Shaft Generator The shaft generator is a system where the generator is connected to the main engine shaft that also runs the main propulsion. The disadvantage is that the main engine must run at nominal speed even if full power to the propeller is not necessary.
General vacon · 9 Commissioning NOTE! Before you start the commissioning, read the safety instructions in the user manual of your product. To use the Island, Micro Grid, or Shaft generator operation, you need a licence key. The AFE mode is available without a licence.
General vacon · 11 Charting of DC This AFE application has its own charging control, P2.5.1.13 DC Charge (24 Vdc required for control board) and charging protection in case the external charging cannot get DC voltage to required level within set time P2.9.1.6 Charge Max Time (provided that the DC Voltage reaches the under voltage fault level).

Voltage compensation The normal operation voltage range in a land-based grid is usually between 80% and 115% of the grid nominal voltage. The voltage losses compensation is handled separately for Active power (kW) and Reactive power (kVar), the latter being more significant.
