Control Overview
Introduction
The EGCP-1 is a microprocessor based complete generator load control and
engine management package designed for use with a Woodward speed control
and a separate voltage regulator. The control's functions include:
Engine Control
•
Engine Pre-glow
•
Fuel Solenoid Control
•
Engine Starter Control
•
KVA Controlled Cool-down Timer
•
Oil Pressure Monitoring
•
Water Temperature Monitoring
•
Battery Voltage Monitoring
•
Speed Monitoring with Overspeed Protection
Synchronizing
•
Digital signal processing to eliminate problems induced in systems with high
harmonic content causing multiple zero crossing of voltage wave forms.
•
Adjustable maximum phase window, voltage window, and dwell times—
windows as small as 2º phase error and 1% voltage matching respectively.
•
Safe dead bus closing logic internal to the control.
•
Multiple shot re-closing with adjustable time delays, auto-resynchronizing,
and synchronizer time-outs all available.
•
Manual voltage and speed adjusts for manual synchronizing (Sync-Check
still active during manual parallels).
•
Synchronization across generator and mains breakers.
Real (kW) Load Control
•
True RMS power calculations for rapid, accurate load control even in the
presence of harmonics.
•
Smooth user chosen ramp rates into and out of each mode of operation.
•
Isochronous load-sharing of up to 8 units based on percentage loading
(allows different rated machines to proportionally balance kW loads).
•
Constant base loading for optimum fuel efficiency with discrete inputs to
change load levels remotely.
•
Import/Export control with an external watt transducer.
•
Soft Utility Transfer Function
•
Externally adjustable Base Load or Process Reference Levels with
independent ramp rates
•
kW droop provided for manual load control.
