c. Internal Control Components: The following internal controls shall be provided within the
master control section:
1. Programmable logic controller (PLC) for interface with touchscreen and digital metering
equipment, and to provide Icad demand, Icad pick-up, and Icad shed functions. A loss of
the PLC shall in no way prevent the generator sets from starting and paralleling
automatically. Switchgear whose automatic paralleling function is susceptible to PLC
failure shall include a hot synched PLC back-up.
2. Load pick-up output contacts, rated 10 A at 600 VAC (3 contacts per level). There shall
be a minimum of one level of output contacts for each generator set in the system.
3. Load shed output contacts, rated 10 A at 600 VAC (3 contacts per level). There shall
be a minimum of one level of output contacts for each generator set in the system.
4. Provide all other components required, such as properly sized current transformers,
transducers, terminal blocks, etc., for reliable system operation.
2.02 SYSTEM OPERATION
A. Loss Of Normal Power:
1. The System is given a signal to start by receipt of start signal from automatic
transfer switch(es) or other remote device. On receipt of this signal, all generator sets
shall automatically and independently start, accelerate to rated frequency and build up to
rated voltage. The first generator set to reach 90% of rated voltage and frequency must
also detect that the emergency bus is de-energized and receive a First Start signal from the
Master Control System before that generator set sends the breaker close signal. The First
Start signal prevents two or more generator sets from closing to a "dead" bus
simultaneously. A backup system shall be provided in the event that the primary First Start
system fails.
2. The pdodty (Icad add) controls prevent overloading of the system bus by providing inhibit
signals to prevent transfer of selected loads to the emergency system until sufficient
generating capacity is available on the bus, or until the priority override switch on the
touchscreen control is actuated.
SEQUENTIAL PARALLELING SYSTEM 16445.4
3. After the first generator 'set has closed to the emergency bus, the remaining generator sets
shall detect an energized emergency bus and automatically engage their respective digital
synchronizer. All synchronizing and paralleling breaker control devices shall be integrated
into each generator set control system. Each generator set shall have total control of its
respective paralleling breaker. No synchronizing devices shall be located in the Master
Control Section.
4. ,As each unit closes to the emergency bus, the unit shall assume it's proportional share of
the total load on the bus. Each generator set shall be equipped with both real and reactive
isochronous load sharing controls to provide load sharing to within 1% of equal. These
controls shall be an integral part of the generator set control system.
B. Failure Of A Unit To Start Or Synchronize:
1. If a unit fails to start, after the overcrank time delay (in the generator set control) has
expired, the unit will be shut down, and an alarm will sound. The pdority control will
prevent the lowest priodty loads from being added to the system without manual
intervention. The priority override controls on the touchscreen may be used by an
operator to manually add Iow priority loads to the bus, if the operator determines that
generator capacity is available to serve the loads. Bus overload monitoring shall protect
the first priority loads in the event that the bus is inadvertently overloaded due to
operator error.
2. If a unit fails to synchronize, after a preset time delay, an alarm will sound, but the unit
will continue to attempt to synchronize until signalled to stop by manual operation of the
control switches on the generator set.
C. Bus Ovedoad:
1. If a bus ovedoad occurs for any reason, a load shed signal will be generated to initiate
load shedding in the system. On receipt of the load shed signal, designated transfer
switches shall move to a neutral position (disconnected from both sources). The
transfer switches shall automatically reconnect to the normal position if the normal
power returns before the load shed signal is cleared from the generator set control.
2. If the bus does not return to proper frequency within a predetermined period of time,
additional load shed signals will be generated.
D. Load Demand Mode:
1. When the system is running in the emergency mode with the "load demand" switch on
the touchscreen in the "on" position, controls shall continuously monitor the total load
on the bus. If the total load on the emergency bus falls below user selectable limits for a
user selectable period, the controller will automatically shut down generator sets in an
operator predetermined order, until the minimum number of generators required to safely
handle the load remain on the bus. The purpose of this function is to allow the generator
sets to operate closer-to their rated capacity, thereby decreasing fuel consumption and
reducing wear on the system.
2. On sensing that the available bus capacity is being approached, the standby units will
automatically be restarted (in the reverse order of which they were shut down) and
paralleled with the bus to assume their proportional share of system load.
E. Return of Normal Power
1. Once the automatic transfer switch(es) complete the retransfer process to the normal
position(s), all of the system start signals shall be removed from the generator sets. The
generator set paralleling breakers shall all open, and the generator sets shall operate at no
SEQUENTIAL P,ARALLELI NG SYSTEM 16445.5
load for a cool down period. When the cooldown pedod has been completed, the
generator sets shall shut down.
2. If a system start signal is received during the cooldown period, one generator set shall
immediately close to the system bus and all other units shall synchronize to it, as
described in "Loss of Power" section.
