  • Page 140 Operation In the example below, the mains has failed so is not supplying any power to the load. One generator is twice the size of the other though both generators are instructed to produce 80 % of their kW rating and 40 % of their kvar rating.
  • Page 141 Operation 6.7 CONTINOUS PARRALLEL OPERATION 6.7.1 BUS MODE (FIXED EXPORT / BASE LOAD) During specified times of the day, the generator bus can be started and parallel to the mains using the Remote Start on Load input to the DSEG8660 or the Scheduler. When the DSEG8660 is set to Bus Mode, this causes the generator bus to produce a fixed (base) level of power against the mains, synchronising to the mains before closing the generator bus breaker.
  • Page 142 Operation When the generator bus is paralleled to the mains, the DSEG8660 instructs all the DSEG8600 controllers to instruct their generator to produce the same pre-set percentage of the generators rating. This pre-set percentage is changeable whilst the generator is running via a multitude of different interfaces.
  • Page 143 Constant Active 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 active power produced at a constant level. The amount of active power produced by the generator is irrespective of the load level or any other parameter.
  • Page 144 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 145 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 bus 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 146 Operation 6.7.3 MAINS MODE (PEAK LOPPING/SHAVING) During specified times of the day, the generator bus can be started and paralleled to the mains using the Remote Start on Load input to the DSEG8660 or the Scheduler. When the DSEG8660 is set to Mains Mode, this causes the generator bus to only start and synchronise to the mains when the load level rises above a pre-defined mains load level.
  • Page 147 Operation When the generator bus is paralleled to the mains, the DSEG8660 instructs all the DSEG8600 controllers to instruct their generator to produce an equal percentage of the generators rating to maintain the mains at the pre-set percentage. This pre-set percentage is changeable whilst the generator is running via a multitude of different interfaces.
  • Page 148 Operation 6.8 MULTIPLE MAINS OPERATION NOTE: At no time are the generators paralleled with more than one mains supply. Paralleling with mains supplies is always taken in turn. In a multiple mains system, the generator bus is controlled by more than one DSEG8660 mains controller and used to provide power to multiple loads.
  • Page 149 Operation 6.8.1 DSEG8660 PRIORITY NOTE: If a DSEG8660 requests to control the generator bus (either automatically or manually) it will not be allowed to do so until the higher priority DSEG8660 and DSE8680 controllers have relinquished control over the generator bus. Where more than one DSEG8660 controller is present, they determine which one is to take control over the generator bus.
  • Page 150 Island mode or Manual mode when the mains switchgear is open. In this instance the user must configure the Bus Voltage Adjust and the Bus Frequency Adjust functions to the desired levels in the DSE module’s LC, which then act on certain conditions such as digital inputs activation.
  • Page 151 The solution to this is a longstanding one, having being used for many decades. However modern digital communications such as the DSE AMSC link has vastly improved the control and hence safety of the system operation. The solution is called Dead Bus Synchronising. Using Dead Bus Synchronising, any number of generators can be online and in parallel potentially within 15 seconds, depending upon applications and hardware used.

  • Page 194 10.2.2.1 CTS ON THE RIGHT PHASE Check to ensure that the CTs on L1, L2 & L3 are connected to their respective connection on the DSE module. This is tested by loading the mains with a purely resistive load (around 10% of the main’s size) across the three phases.
  • Page 195 Redundant AMSC (if used). This is tested by connecting the DSE module to a PC with the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software installed and going to the SCADA | Bus | AMSC Link section. The information shown in this section changes dynamically depending on whether the AMSC Link or Redundant AMSC Link is in use.
  • Page 196 Failing to perform such tests may lead to the DSE module sensing both sides of the breaker as in sync This is tested by starting the generator bus with the DSEG8660 module and ensuring the generator bus load switch is left open (activate an input configured for Bus Load Inhibit).
