Application information 1. Application information 1.1 General information 1.1.1 Application The Automatic Genset Controller, AGC, is a control unit containing all necessary functions for protection and control of a genset. It can be used as a single unit for one genset, or a number of AGCs can be connected in a complete power management system for synchronising projects, islanded or paralleled to the mains. The AGC contains all necessary 3-phase measuring circuits, and all values and alarms are presented on the sunshine proof LCD display. The AGC is a compact all-in-one unit designed for...

Application information In a power management system it is possible to control the entire plant, being connected only to one of the connected AGC controllers. 1.1.3 Inputs and outputs The number of inputs and outputs in the AGC can be tailored depending on the option selection. This table includes the number of I/Os in the standard unit (no options present). The four outputs of the governor/AVR card in slot #4 are not included in the table. In-/outputs Available for other configuration Multi-selectable inputs Digital inputs 2 for breaker ON/OFF feedbacks (4 if MB is present)/1 E-stop Relays...

The diagram might not reflect your actual unit due to different option configuration.

Application information 1.2 Power management applications The purpose of the power management system is to implement one control system that controls all breakers and all gensets. This can for instance be for fuel optimised purposes, for easy implementation of plant logic or for safety reasons. 1.2.1 Application The plant modes supported by the power management options are: Standard plant modes Island mode Power plant with synchronising generators or a stand-alone generator. Can also be used in critical power plants with a start signal from an external (ATS) controller Automatic Mains...

Application information 1.2.3 Power management functions PM functions Multi-master system Redundant CANbus Short-time parallel (in same controller (MB/TB)) Load-dependent start/stop Priority selection, manual and automatic Running hours Load profile Manual Fuel optimised Ground relay Load management Secured mode (start one extra generator) Quick setup for rental groups Heavy consumer control/generator request Asymmetric LS for optimal generator load level Mains feeder control, feeders paralleled Mains feeder control, main-tie-main for critical power Base load running for maintenance (island...

Application information 1.2.4 Easy configuration of single line diagrams The setup of the application is easily configured using a PC and the DEIF PC utility software. Your PC tool visualises it - the AGC-4 realises it. The basic plant control is set up by a few basic plant conditions including mains feeder handling and operation of the generators 1.2.5 Safe power management system Multi-master system The AGC power management system is designed as a multi-master system for increased reliability. In a multi-master system all vital data is transmitted between the AGCs, giving all units...
