Mega power plant application, island mode
Intervention type
CommissioningLocation
Saudi ArabiaApplication description
When industrial sites like extraction mines or islands are far away from the power grid, the only available power on site remains the genset, installed in the power plant in parallel for redundancy reasons due to the maintenance of the machine and modularity.
This case study highlights a multi genset application for an industry located in the middle of the desert, all the genset are equipped with GENSYS 2.0 and power plants are synchronize between them with MASTER 2.0. The site where 152 units of 1250kVA gensets are installed is split in several automatic power plants of 5 to 32 gensets in parallel each. All power plants are independent and can offer the possibility of increasing available power by synchronizing with another thanks to the MASTER 2.0.
Features highlighted for this project:
- Up to 32 generators synchronized and parallel together for active/reactive load
- Static paralleling for black start fast recovery (less than 10s)
- Optimized load dependant start/stop with running hours balancing management.
- Automatic backup supply of a defective power plant by another available power plant
- 2 power plant synchronization with MASTER 2.0
- Centralized alarm/fault display on each GENSYS 2.0 for an easy diagnosis.
