DG SET SYNCHRONIZING

Product Description

DG (Diesel Generator) set synchronizing is a process that allows multiple generators to operate in parallel, sharing the load effectively while maintaining system stability. This is crucial for applications requiring continuous power supply, especially in critical facilities. Here™s a technical description of the DG set synchronizing process:

Components:

1. Diesel Generators

   - Multiple DG sets configured to operate in parallel.

2. Synchronizing Panel

   - Contains the control logic and circuitry needed for synchronizing generators. This panel typically includes:

     - Synchronizing Relays Monitor voltage, frequency, and phase angle.

     - Load Sharing Controllers Ensure that each generator contributes to the load proportionally.

     - Control Switchgear For manual or automatic operation of circuit breakers.

3. Voltage and Frequency Measurement Devices

   - Instruments to measure the output voltage, frequency, and phase of each generator and the bus bar.

4. Phase Sequence Indicators

   - Tools to ensure that generators are in the correct phase sequence before synchronization.

5. Communication Interface

   - Allows for data exchange between generators and control systems, enabling coordinated operation.

6. Protection Devices

   - Circuit breakers and fuses for overcurrent, short-circuit, and under/over-voltage protection.

Synchronization Process:

1. Pre-Synchronization Checks

   - Verify that all generators are operating under similar conditions (voltage, frequency, phase sequence).

   - Ensure that the bus bar voltage is stable and within acceptable limits.

2. Matching Parameters

   - Adjust the speed and voltage of the incoming generator to match those of the bus bar.

   - Use the governor control for speed adjustment and the voltage regulator for voltage alignment.

3. Phase Synchronization

   - Ensure that the phase angle of the incoming generator matches that of the bus bar. This is critical to prevent circulating currents.

   - Phase comparators in the synchronizing panel assist in determining phase alignment.

4. Connection

   - Once parameters are matched and synchronized, the circuit breaker of the incoming generator is closed, connecting it to the bus bar.

   - Load sharing controllers then adjust the output of each generator to balance the load.

5. Load Management

   - Continuous monitoring and adjustment of each generator's output to ensure balanced load sharing and system stability.

Applications:

- Used in various industries, including telecommunications, hospitals, data centers, and manufacturing, where reliable and uninterrupted power supply is critical.

Advantages:

- Increased reliability by providing backup power through multiple sources.

- Enhanced efficiency through optimal load sharing.

- Flexibility to add or remove generators based on load demand without interruption.

Standards:

- Compliance with relevant standards and regulations for electrical installations (e.g., IEC, NEMA, UL) to ensure safe and reliable operation.
