DESCRIPTION
DSE7520 and DSE7560s have the ability to parallel the generator with the mains supply. When in parallel
we can choose what function the generators will perform. There are two selections, Bus/Generator mode
and mains mode.
: pf The generator(s) will product power at the power factor configured into the Load power factor parameter. The
kVAr is variable in order to acheive this.
With Bus mode (7560) or Generator mode (7520), care must be taken with the settings if export to the mains supply is
to be avoided. For instance if the Load parallel power is set to 100kW and the site load is 75kW, the generator(s) will
be exporting 25kW to the mains supply.
In this mode, the generator(s) are used to provide a variable amount of active power (kW), to maintain the mains
import/export levels at the configured values. this is configured into the Load parallel power parameter.
How much reactive power is taken from or exported to the mains depends upon the kVAr/pf selection :
: kVAr The generator(s) will be used to provide enough kVAr to keep the mains import/export VAr at the level
configured into the Load Parallel Var parameter. The mains power factor is variable in order to acheive this.
: pf The generator(s) will be used to provide enough kVAr to keep the mains import/export at the power factor
configured into the Load power factor parameter. The mains kVAr is variable in order to acheive this.
Mains mode
SUGGESTIONS
While there are many possible permutations of settings to serve various applications, the most
common are detailed below.
o Short term parallel the recommended setting is bus mode, with zero kW configured. During the modules
parallel run timer, the mains will supply all the load. After the parallel run timer has expired, the load ramp
begins (if required) after which the relevant breaker is opened, leaving the load supplied by only one source.
o Peak lopping/peak shaving. Configure mains mode and set the kW load level to the maximum amount of
power you want to use from the mains. Configure an input for Remote Start on Load. Make the input active.
When the mains power reaches the configured level, the generator will start and be used to keep the mains
usage at the configured level.
o Minimum mains usage. Where it is required to run the generator in parallel, leaving the mains usage as low
as possible, but without possibilty of exporting power to the mains, select mains mode, and configure a
nominal amount of kW for mains import. The generator is used to hold the mains usage at this figure. Care
must be taken when choosing the kW import level as selecting too low a value could result in short time export
to the mains if the load level is reduced suddenly.
