DG Parallel

- Synchronous operation of generators connected together on a paralleling bus allows them to provide power to common loads. Generators can be connected only when their speed, phase angle, and voltage amplitude are matched. - Synchronization ensures matching of frequency, phase, and voltage of AC power sources by maintaining engine speed with a governor and generator voltage with an automatic voltage regulator. - To parallel a diesel generator (DG2) with an existing generator (DG1), start DG2 and adjust its voltage and frequency to match DG1's using a synchroscope and governor controls. When the synchroscope shows them in phase, close the circuit breaker to connect DG2 to the bus.

Key Task EO 3.

1 Demonstrates an ability to prepare and run diesel or steam


generator, parallel with running, transfer load and shut down outgoing machinery.

Paralleling

Synchronous operation of two or more generator sets connected together on a


paralleling bus in order to provide power to common loads.

Generators can be connected to another generator source only when the following
conditions are met ;

- Speed difference ( Frequency )


- Phase angle difference
- Voltage amplitude difference

Synchronization

Synchronization is the mechanism of matching frequency, phase and voltage of AC


power sources.

Governor is maintains engine output speed

Automatic Voltage Regulator is maintains generator output voltage.

Synchronization Notes

The synchronising switch/breaker should be of a type that will not couse ‘’contact
bounce’’ when it operates.
The synchronising switch/breaker should be adequately rated to withstand the
continuous full load current of the generator.
The synchronising switch/breaker should be able to withstanding the rigorous
closing cycles during sychronising and the currents produced if the generator is
parallel out of synchronism.
The closing time of the synchronising switch/breaker should be under the control of
the synchoroniser settings.
The switch/breaker should be capable of operation under fault conditions such as
shourt circuits.

İn this key task, how to put diesel generator number 2 onto the main switch board
bus already served by diesel generator number 1.

First prepare the D/G No.2 for starting and start the D/G No.2 engine by local or
remote.
Let D/G 2 voltage establish to the rated value.
Compare D/G2 voltage and frequency to D/G1 rated value.
Set ‘’VOLT&FREQ METER’’ switch on the synchro panel to D/G2. Automatic
voltage regulator will bring the D/G2 voltage to its rated value.
No need to adjust voltages. At this step, the generator frequency is acceptable if it is
sufficiently close to the D/G1 frequency.
Check the Hz-frequency and confirm that the frequency diffirence is small
(1Hz or less).
Switch to D/G2 on SYNCHROSCOPE panel and check to rotation of synchroscope
lamp.

- İf synchroscope is rotating in clockwise direction, that means is the D/G2’s


frequency higher than the D/G1.
- İf synchroscope is rotating in anticlockwise direction, that means is the D/G2’s
frequency lower than the D/G1.
Synchroscope lamps must be rotate in clockwise, D/G2’s frequency must be higher
than D/G1 about 0.3-0.5 Hz.

Observing the synchroscope, operate GOVERNOR MOTOR switch for D/G2 to


RAİSE or LOWER.

Synchrolamps must be rotate slowly and clockwise. When synchroscope unit pointer
is at 12’o clock position, the generators are in phase. At that moment or little bit
prior/before operate the ACB CONTROL switch for D/G2 to CLOSE.

LOAD DİVİSİON

Before load division, check the voltage and frequency-Hz the generators.
Operate GOVERNOR MOTOR switch for D/G2 to Raise and switch for D/G1 to
LOWER, so that D/G2 takes on Kw load and each generator share the load.

İn every operate the governor motor to raise or lower, check the frequency.

When you share the load in proportion capacity ratio, then position
SYNCHROSCOPE switch to OFF.

LOAD SHİFT

Before take off the service at running generator in parallel, has to transfer load to
other generator. When Kw output of generator near to ZERO ( not more than 30Kw),
remove the generator from the bus by opening it ACB control.

As we do in the load division, operate GOVERNOR MOTOR switch to LOWER that


which generator will take off the service. Load will transfer to the other generator(s),
or you can switch for raise which generator will use in service.İn every steps, you
must check the generator(s).
When generator output is reduced near to zero, operate ACB CONTROL switch for
OPEN position.

NOT: DO NOT REDUCED TO Kw BELOW 0.

İN AUTOMATİC MODE

İn auto mode, synchronization will automatically. Check the D/G’s voltage and
frequency. Switch to AUTO on main switch board and load will share automatically.
For precaution, you can switch the other generator on ‘’stand by’’ position.
For example D/G3 is in service and D/G2 will put in parallel. Switch D/G1 on stand
by position and start the D/G2 and control voltage and frequency. After that, switch to
AUTO on main switch panel, load will share each generators which are in parallel.
