  • Page 93: Operation

    Operation 7 OPERATION 7.1 BUS TIE CONFIGURATION There are two possible configurations for the Bus tie controller which can enabled on the Application page in the Configuration Software. BUS TIE The Bus Tie Configuration enables control of two bus segments on the left (Segment 1) and right side (Segment 2).

  • Page 94: Bus Tie Operation

    Operation 7.2 BUS TIE OPERATION The DSEG8680 has two AMSC Ports, one for each side of the bus. The DSEG8680 only closes the generator bus-tie when it is told to via button presses, digital input (Close Bus Tie) or on receipt of command over Modbus.
  • Page 95 Operation All generators are started using the Remote Start input and when the generators become available, they close onto a dead bus. As the DSEG8680 breaker is open, the two sides are separate systems. This means a DSE8600 on either side attains their own token to know it is safe to close onto the dead bus. Both sides of the bus-tie are working independently with the load demand scheme.
  • Page 96 Operation Before the DSEG8680 is requested to close its breaker it must attain a token that is different to the tokens of the DSEG8600s.Once it has this token it will gain control of one side of the generator bus (depending on configuration) and synchronizes it to the other. Once in sync the DSEG8680 closes its breaker and releases its token and then both sides of the bus are considered as one.

  • Page 97: Segment Groups

    Operation 7.3 SEGMENT GROUPS 1. When two or more segments are connected by the closure of one or more breakers, they form a Segment Group. The Left Segment and Right Segment numbers are used to identify Bus segments. This is illustrated in the example below. Example If the Bus Tie Controller is Hint:...

  • Page 98: Breaker Closing On Dead Busses

    Operation 7.4 BREAKER CLOSING ON DEAD BUSSES If one or both sides of the breaker are dead (depending on configuration), and a request to close is active, then the bus tie will attempt to close the breaker without synchronising or ramping. The controller will first request a control token and once received the bus tie will close the breaker.

  • Page 99: Ramping On

    Operation 7.6 RAMPING ON At the end of the synchronisation phase, the G8680 will close the bus tie. If there is generation on the busses on both sides of the breaker then the generators will almost certainly be no longer sharing power equally.

They are only active when the module is operating in manual mode.

  • Page 103: Breaker Control

    Operation BREAKER CONTROL When the breaker is closed using the breaker button (or simulated buttons) the synchronisation direction (left to right or right to left) is determined by which button is pressed. However, when using a digital input or GenComm control key to close the breaker, the direction is not specified. Instead, two user-configurable options and 1 digital input are used to determine the bus to control when synchronising.
