Manual 02007 DSLC Digital Synchronizer and Load Control
Woodward 71
This method can be used only where other generator sets are producing enough
power to meet the change in load demand. This operating mode is ideal for
either soft loading additional units into an isochronous system, or for derating or
unloading a machine.
Base Load
Base Load for a system paralleled to an infinite bus or utility is the same as Base
Load in an isolated system. The advantage of base loading over droop is that
when separating from a utility, there is no frequency change. Simply removing
the bias signal on breaking from the utility returns the system to isochronous.

Automatic Generator Loading Functions
The automatic generator loading functions of the DSLC control are designed to
be used with the speed control to automatically control the loading and unloading
of the generator. This accomplishes a bumpless transfer when paralleling the
generator to a load sharing or infinite bus system, or when separating a
generator from a system.
