    Operator Workstation, HMI, Touch panel

    Do the terms operator workstation, HMI and the touch panel all refer to same thing? Operator workstation --> Just a Monitor? or Monitor + PC? HMI --> Device flush mounted on the front door of the cabinet with some displays for monitoring. Some may be equipped with touch screen for control...

    Load sharing - Communication

    We are using DEIF IE350 for load sharing/paralleling of the generators. What is the best communication method for load sharing, there is a RJ 45 port and there is a CAN bus.

    25A - Synchronizer

    Why some auto synchronizers are provided with only ability to adjust the speed and not the voltage? In which case synchronizers with ability to adjust only speed is used? and In which case, synchronizers with ability to adjust both speed and voltage is used?

    Isochronous load sharing lines - Dissimilar Generators

    Is it practically feasible to successfully test, commission, and operate isochronous load sharing lines for load sharing between one steam turbine generator (STG - 1.5MW) and three diesel engine–driven generators (3.5MW), given that the generators are dissimilar? Normally the steam turbine...

    Parallel running of dissimilar generators with different droop settings

    In this setup, is it possible to operate all three generators in parallel by configuring DG-1, DG-2, and the STG in Droop mode, while operating DG-3 in Fixed kW mode? The manufacturer claims that DG-3 cannot run in parallel with 11kV generators, citing a mismatch in droop settings: the maximum...

    Rotor earth fault for Diesel generators

    What are the methods for detecting earth faults in rotor windings without using slip rings? This is for diesel generators with a capacity of 3 to 5 MVA. Is it possible to use instruments like Brush Prismic R10 Rotor earth fault monitor for these generators (3 to 5MVA). What are the disadvantages...

    CT and VT Location in the Generator Terminal Box

    I have some questions regarding the CT & VT location in the generator terminal box, 1. Droop CT location before the star point at the neutral side of the generator (or) can be at the line side? 2. Why AVR VT sensing has to be taken from the line side and not from the neutral end? 3. What is the...

    Main Generator, Auxiliary Generator or Essential Generator in a Tanker ship

    We have three diesel generators that operate in parallel with a steam turbine generator (STG) on a tanker, of course there is a Main Engine. The excess steam generated from the heat value of VOC gases during cargo loading operations is utilized to drive the steam turbine generator (STG). Should...
