7.6.2.1 Principles of Power management
Internal conditions based on remaining load reserves and priorities are evaluated once a delay is
elapsed. If the load reserve is insufficient the gen-set is started after delay given by the setpoint
Pwr management: #NextStrt del is elapsed. Once the gen-set runs the controller evaluates stopping
conditions based on load reserves and priorities. If the reserve is sufficient enough to stop a particular
gen-set, it is stopped after delay given by the setpoint Pwr management: #NextStopDel is elapsed.
All the time the system stop condition – i.e. the binary input Sys start/stop deactivated – is evaluated
as well. Once the delay given by the setpoint Pwr management: #SysAMFstopDel has elapsed all
gen-sets in AUT mode are stopped. Following figure depicts the system activation and deactivation
logic.

NOTE:
The setpoint Pwr management: OverldNext del is used in the case gen-sets are running at 90% or
more of their nominal power. The setpoint Pwr management: OverldNext del should be generally
shorter than the setpoint Pwr management: NextStrt del. The shorter time always applies in such a
case (counting in that part of NextStrt del may have already been elapsed).
