Operation 5.5 PRIME POWER (LOAD SHARE) 5.5.1 ISOCHRONOUS NOTE: For further details on the Load Demand Scheme (automatic starting/stopping of generators based on load), refer to section entitled Load Demand Scheme elsewhere in this document. When generators are running in parallel isochronously (zero droop), the amount of power they produce to the load has to be controlled to ensure it is shared amongst them whilst still running at nominal frequency and voltage.
Operation 5.5.2 DROOP NOTE: The Frequency Droop and Voltage Droop function within the module is not supported when using a DSExx60 module. NOTE: The Load Demand Scheme is not available whilst operating in Droop. When generators are running in parallel in Droop only, the amount of power they produce to the load has to be controlled to ensure it is shared between the generators, by varying the frequency and voltage the system is running at.
Page 149
Operation Whilst the generators are in parallel, the DSE8x10 controllers instruct the generators to run at a certain frequency/voltage dependant on the active power (kW)/reactive power (kvar) the generator is producing. In the example below, both generators have the same Droop Curve configured for the Frequency Droop and Voltage Droop.

When a generator is running in parallel with the mains isochronously (zero droop), the amount of power it produces has to be controlled.
NOTE: For further details of the configuration for the different power modes, refer to DSE Publication: 057-238 DSE8610 MKII Configuration Suite PC Software Manual. It is sometimes required that when a generator is placed in parallel with the mains, that it does not simply produced a fixed amount of Active Power (kW) or Reactive Power (kvar).
Operation 5.6.1.2 VOLTAGE AND REACTIVE (KVAR) POWER CONTROL Constant Reactive Power Mode (Default) This is the default mode of exporting power to the mains (utility); where the DSE load share controller holds the amount of reactive power produced at a constant level. The amount of reactive power produced by the generator is irrespective of the load level or any other parameter.
Operation 5.6.1.3 SIMULATION INJECTION TESTING NOTE: For further details about the Simulation Injection Testing, refer to DSE Publication: 056-123 Simulation Injection Testing. The Simulation Injection Testing enables the user to override the DSE module’s measurements of the generator’s voltage and frequency. This is provided so the various Power Modes for mains parallel can be tested without having to alter the main’s actual voltage and frequency.
Operation 5.7 SCHEDULER The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and stopping the set or inhibiting the set from starting. Up to 16 scheduled (in two banks of 8) start/stop/inhibiting start sequences can be configured to repeat on a 7-day or 28-day cycle. Scheduled runs may be on load or off load depending upon module configuration.
= The DSE8610 MKII uses MSC link for connection to other DSE modules for ramping and load sharing. = The DSE8610 MKII is connected to a DSE123 to convert the MSC link into Analogue Load Share lines interface.
Operation 5.9 ALTERNATIVE CONFIGURATIONS Depending upon the configuration of the system by the generator supplier, the system may have selectable configurations (for example to select between 50 Hz and 60 Hz). If this has been enabled the generator supplier will advise how this selection can be made (usually by operating an external selector switch or by selecting the required configuration file in the module’s front panel configuration editor).
Operation 5.10.2 LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL The Load Shedding Control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five load shedding steps. When the generator is about to take load, the configured number of Load Shedding Control Outputs at Start will energise. This allows certain none-essential loads to be removed prior to the generator’s load switch being closed.
Operation 5.11 SMS CONTROL The SMS Control feature (if enabled) allows the user to send control commands to the module via SMS message. There are five control commands that the user is able to send to the module shown in the table below.
Synchronising, any number of generators are able to be online and in parallel potentially within 15 seconds, depending upon applications and hardware used. 5.12.2 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS • DSE8610 MKII controller. • DC controlled generator load switch. • Auxiliary contact to feedback generator breaker status to the DSE controller.
Operation 5.12.3 OPERATION Before the generator sets are started, their load switches are closed. As there is no AC supply the load switches must be DC controlled. Next, the alternator excitation field is disabled by isolating the supply to the AVRs. The engines are all started at the same time and allowed for the Excitation Delay timer to reach the desired operating speed.

Commissioning 8 COMMISIONING NOTE: If satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, despite repeated checking of the connections between the module and the system, then contact DSE Technical Support Department: support@deepseaelectronics.com 8.1 BASIC CHECKS NOTE: If Emergency Stop feature is not required, link the input to the DC Positive. Before the system is started, it is recommended that the following checks are made: The unit is adequately cooled and all the wiring to the module is of a standard and rating compatible with the system.
This causes long and unstable synchronising as well as unstable kW and kvar load sharing. NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-238 DSE8610 MKII Configuration Suite PC Software Manual. Continued overleaf… 057-254 ISSUE: 10...
Commissioning 8.2.1.1 DETERMINING CONNECTIONS AND SETTINGS FOR GOVERNORS Setting up the Governor (Adjustment of SW1 and SW2) Before You Start Ensure that generator bus is not live, has no load connected, the other generator’s breakers are open, and the Frequency Droop function and Mains Parallel Mode digital input within the module are disabled.
Page 214
Commissioning Adjustment of Governor SW2 NOTE: If it is not possible to achieve ±2.5 Hz adjustment with the governor, contact DSE Technical Support for further advice: support@deepseaelectronics.com 10. Increase the setting of the Nominal Frequency by 2.5 Hz (52.5 Hz or 62.5 Hz). If Frequency Droop is enabled, increase the Nominal Frequency by the Maximum Frequency Difference From Nominal (Max Hz Up) within the Droop Curve.
Commissioning 8.2.1.2 DETERMINING CONNECTIONS AND SETTINGS FOR AVRS NOTE: Determining the settings of SW1 and SW2 for the AVR MUST only be done once the setup for SW1 and SW2 for the governor has been complete. Changing engine speed affects the level of voltage produced.
Page 216
Commissioning Adjustment of AVR SW2 NOTE: If it is not possible to achieve ±10 % voltage adjustment with the AVR, contact DSE Technical Support for further advice: support@deepseaelectronics.com 10. Increase the setting of the Nominal Voltage by 10% (230 V to 253 V for example). If Voltage Droop is enabled, increase the Nominal Voltage by the Maximum Voltage Difference From Nominal (Max Volt Up) within the Droop Curve.
Commissioning 8.2.2 METERING WARNING!: Do not disconnect the CT wires from the DSE module when the CTs are carrying current. Disconnection open circuits the secondary of the CT’s and dangerous voltages may then develop. Always ensure the CTs are not carrying current and the CTs are short circuit connected before making or breaking connections to the module.
Commissioning 8.2.2.2 CTS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION NOTE: Checking that the CTs are on the right phase MUST be completed prior to checking if the CTs are in the correct direction. CTs on the wrong phase also cause negative kWs. Check to ensure that the CTs on L1, L2 &...
DSE controllers leading to problems during load sharing. NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-238 DSE8610 MKII Configuration Suite PC Software Manual. Check to ensure that all the modules are connected are communicating correctly on the MSC link and Redundant MSC (if used).
Commissioning 8.2.4 SYNC CHECKS CAUTION!: Failure to perform the Sync Check steps results in in serious damage to the system (breakers, bus bars, alternators, engines etc) caused by out of sync closures. Check to ensure that all the module’s sensing cables have been connected to the correct phases and that the generator’s load switch has been correctly connected.
Commissioning 8.2.4.1 INCORRECTLY WIRED BREAKER When the DSE module’s synchroscope shows the two supplies in sync, if the voltage meter shows a voltage difference the breaker is wired incorrectly. This is shown in the example below. Page 221 of 246 057-254 ISSUE: 10...
Commissioning 8.2.4.2 CORRECTLY WIRED BREAKER When the DSE module’s synchroscope shows the two supplies in sync, if the voltage meter shows no voltage difference the breaker is wired correctly. This is shown in the example below. 057-254 ISSUE: 10 Page 222 of 246...
Commissioning 8.3 DSE STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL LOADSHARING Synchronising and load sharing is often considered to be a complex subject. In fact, it is very simple when broken down into smaller steps. Before parallel operation between generators or another electrical supply is attempted, the DSE Four Steps to Successful Synchronising must be followed and completed on each of the generators.
Commissioning 8.3.1.2 DROOP LOADSHARING NOTE: For further details about Isochronous Loadsharing operation, refer to section entitled Prime Power (Load Share) elsewhere within this document. When generators are running in parallel in Droop only, the amount of power they produce to the load has to be controlled to ensure it is shared between the generators, by varying the frequency and voltage the system is running at.
Commissioning 8.3.2 ADJUSTING GAIN (P), STABILITY (I) AND DERIVATIVE (D) 8.3.2.1 INITIAL SETUP In most cases the DSE factory settings of 20% for Gain (P), Stability (I) and 0 % for Derivative (D) are suitable for most systems. This is because the DSE module’s control is limited by the Gain (P), Stability (I) and Derivative (D) settings of the engine’s governor / alternator’s AVR.
Commissioning 8.3.2.3 TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: An over damped response results in a slower control process. An under damped response (overshooting the target) leads to an unstable control process. Either case leads to undesirable consequences such as overcurrent or reverse power, resulting in generator shutdown, and loss of supply to the load. If the load is oscillating quickly between the generators it suggests that the setting for the Gain (P) on the generator(s) is too high or too low.
Fault Finding 9 FAULT FINDING NOTE: The below fault finding is provided as a guide checklist only. As the module can be configured to provide a wide range of different features, always refer to the source of the module configuration if in doubt. 9.1 STARTING Symptom Possible Remedy...
Fault Finding 9.3 ALARMS Symptom Possible Remedy Oil pressure low fault Check engine oil pressure. Check oil pressure switch/sensor and operates after engine has wiring. Check configured polarity (if applicable) is correct (i.e. fired Normally Open or Normally Closed) or that sensor is compatible with the module and is correctly configured.
Fault Finding 9.6 SYNCHRONISING & LOAD SHARING Symptom Possible Remedy Synchronising not available Check Synchronising is enabled in the configuration suite software Generator, Synchronising section Generator does not Ensure that all the DSE Four Steps to Synchronising have been loadshare correctly completed.
