Automatic synchronization and load sharing of two generating sets

controlled by a single module

GENERAL POINTS
DUOGEN is a microprocessor based single module which gathers
the control of two generators. DUOGEN carries out manual and auto
synchronization, isochronous load sharing or droop load sharing.
DUOGEN integrates the following features:
- 1 digital input for auto synchronization.
- 1 sync check relay is checking phase, frequency and voltage
differences.
- 1 'Load shedding' output relay is calling for need of power, allowing
a better power plant global efficiency.
- 2 Isochronous kW sharing controls.
- 2 Iso-voltage kVAR sharing controls.
- 2 Reverse power protections.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS FOR EACH GENSET
3 phases genset voltages (3 or 4 wires, 100 to 440 VAC).
3 phases genset currents (1A or 5A CTs).
1 digital input: feedback of the genset breaker position.
1 digital input: unload request (adjustable ramp time).
1 analogue input for speed control
( 5 VDC or potentiometer).
2 output relays: trip request and reverse power protection.
1 analogue output: active power monitor
(0-5V or 0-1mA adjustable).
Proportional and integral gain pot for synchronization.
1 analogue output for speed control adjustable with Gain pot and
Offset pot, compatible with most electronic governors (Barber
Colman, Woodward, GAC, Heinzmann, Ambac, DDEC, MDEC).
1 analogue output for voltage control, adjustable with Gain pot and
Offset pot, compatible with most AVR (Leroy Somer, Stamford,
Basler).
COMMON INPUTS/OUTPUTS
'SYNC OK' output relay: always active. Stays open in
dead bus conditions.
The coupling authorization safety relay is authorizing the
coupling only when differences in frequency, voltage and
phase meet the requirements of the installation.
'LOAD SHEDDING' output relay: active when application
needs the power of the two gensets.
1 digital input: remote synchronization request.
1 digital input: droop mode.
Stability and load sharing pot. for ILS.

APPLICATIONS
Two gensets in change over application:
Manual mode: potentiometer speed for synchronization
and kW control.
Auto mode: automatic synchronization and load
sharing.
Two gensets in change over application + no
break return to mains with soft load transfer:
Add a C2S-III (CRE module, reference A25W0) to
synchronize the power plant to mains.
Gaz, fuel, and turbines:
Duogen can be installed regardless the type of prime
mover and fuel.
