Disel generator synchonisation with plc

Hello all


I want to ask can i use AB PLC for DG Synchonisation & load sharing effectively without using GCP/GCP/PL300/EASYGEN etc?

Thanks & Regards

yes u can do it no problems at all.
we are in this field from many years and these generators are new.

hi
than how can we do load sharing between dgs through plc:handball:

I would talk with your engine and alternator manufacturer and get a governor and regulator that will allow paralleling and load sharing.

Can you do it with a PLC - I suppose so
BUT
why take the time when engine governors and alternotor regulators have had this capability for decades. Why try to outdo the experts at it when they have forgotton more about it than most of us? The main hitch I see is getting the control signal to match an actuator in the governor and add a circuit to the regulator.

Even the antique units I ran on nuc submarine (69 to 73) had automatic regulator and governor (steam and diesel units) they could be paralleled and load shared - we ran split bus to avoid losing everything though.
