Page 147: Prime Power (Load Share)
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.
Page 148: Droop
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.
Page 153: Power Modes
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).
Page 154: Voltage And Reactive (Kvar) Power Control
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.
Page 155: Simulation Injection Testing
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.
Page 156: Scheduler
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.

Page 158: Alternative Configurations
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).
Page 159: Load Shedding Control
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.
Page 160: Sms Control
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.

Page 162: Operation
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 8.2.1.1 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.
Page 215: Determining Connections And Settings For Avrs
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.
Page 217: Metering
Commissioning 8.2.2 METERING WARNING!: Do not disconnect the CT wires from the DSE module when the CTs are carrying current.

Page 223: Dse Steps To Successful Loadsharing
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.
Page 224: Droop Loadsharing
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.
Page 225: Adjusting Gain (P), Stability (I) And Derivative (D)
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.
Page 226: Troubleshooting
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.
