Grid Code DECS-150
Active Power Level Selection Settings
When the Active Power Input Source setting is set to Active Power Level Selection, the Active Power
Setpoint setting is not used.
Each of the four Active Power Level settings corresponds to an input on the Active Power Level Select
logic element (Figure 10-3). See the BESTlogicPlus section for details.

Adjustment Sources
The active power setpoint may be adjusted by the DECS-150 auxiliary input or via remote communication
(Modbus
®
). For all adjustment sources, the value of the APC Gain setting is applied to the value read
from the selected input. Refer to the Modbus Communication section for more information on adjusting
the setpoint via remote communication.
Auxiliary Input
To use the DECS-150 auxiliary input as the grid code Active Power Control adjustment source, make the
following settings:
• On the Auxiliary Input screen, set the Input Function setting to Grid Code Input. Refer to the
Auxiliary Control section for details.
• On the Active Power Control screen, set the Adjust Source setting to Auxiliary Input.
Refer to the Auxiliary Control section for details on how the auxiliary voltage (Vaux) is calculated.
Vaux is multiplied by 0.01 and the value of the APC Gain setting:
(APC Adjust = Vaux x 0.01 x APC Gain).
Active Power PI Controller Settings
Gains are established by the Loop Gain (Kg) and Integral Gain (Ki) settings. Maximum and minimum
power output is established by the Max Power Output and Min Power Output settings.
APC Bridging
When APC Bridging is enabled, a third party active power setpoint is inserted directly into the output of
the active power control functionality. The value can be read from the DECS-150 Modbus register
containing the APC output value. This bypasses the DECS-150’s active power control modes.
LFSM
When grid frequency exceeds the dead band threshold, LFSM becomes the active control mode, if
enabled. During over or underfrequency conditions, output power should change as fast as possible to
respond to the change requested by the curve illustrated in Figure 10-4. When frequency is low, the
generating units increase their output power to support the grid. When frequency is high, the generating
units decrease their output power to help prevent grid frequency from rising further.
LFSM Dead Band Settings
The LFSM-U Dead Band setting establishes the deadband minimum frequency and the LFSM-O Dead
Band setting establishes the deadband maximum frequency.
