ADVANCED PARALLELING CONTROLLER PLATFORM RELEASED TO INDUSTRY
The G8660 is a ATS / Mains (Utility) controller with integral heater designed to work with the G8600 that is configured for use as a multi-set controller. The G8660 allows multiple generators to synchronizes with a mains (utility) supply and controls switching power between generator and mains (utility) sources, without loss of supply to the load.
WITH THE FALLING COST OF NATURAL GAS, THE USE OF NATURAL GAS ACROSS THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR IS EXPECTED TO DRIVE THE GAS GENERATORS MARKET IN THE DOMICILE SECTOR.
UK-based Deep Sea Electronics Ltd. (DSE) has released its G8 Series – Advanced Paralleling Controller Platform, developed to meet future industry demands, including complex paralleling applications such as rental, data centres, hospitals and industrial sites. The new controller platform introduces next-generation technology as well as: *a new over mould case with integrated sealing gasket; *a newly-designed front that delivers durability and resistance to on-site contaminants, plus an improved button layout for ease of operation; *and a standard enhanced display with a higher pixel ratio to present more information to the user. The initial release includes the G8600 Parallel Genset Control with Integral Heater, G8660 Mains (Utility) Failure Controller, G8680 Bus-Tie Controller and DSE SCADA Multi-Set Remote Monitoring Software.
The G8600 is fully configurable for use as a single-set, multi-set, mains (utility) failure or group controller for enhanced flexibility. According to the company other benefits of the G8 platform include:
*Up to 64 group controllers can be used within the same system with up to 63 generators to each group controller. This means the G8 series can handle synchronizing systems with a maximum of 4032 generators.
*Multiple bus sections mean certain parts of a bus can be separated into multiple sections. When a power failure/fault occurs, sections of the bus can be isolated from the system until it can safely be restored.
*Multiple load demand schemes include Spinning Capacity / Calling for More Sets / Calling for Less Sets / Spinning Reserve / Balanced Engine Hours.
*Advanced PLC functionality delivers intelligent drag & drop functionality for the user and provides user defined function blocks and inter-module communication, where the PLC software can communicate with all modules within the same paralleling system.
*The SCADA software tool provides multi-set remote monitoring and commissioning functionality and allows users to change multiple module settings at the same time using a Windows-based device.
SCADA is secure software which provides advanced multi-set monitoring & commissioning functionality for G8 Series controllers.
The stand-alone software is downloaded from the DSE website and installed onto a Windows based laptop/desktop machine. The software can be configured to connect with individual / multiple generators on the same site.New technology from DSE
DSEGenset® is an intelligent range of advanced paralleling controllers, load sharing & synchronizing controllers, single-set controllers, mains (utility) protection relays, lighting tower controllers, digital automatic voltage regulators (AVR’s), remote communications devices, expansion modules and PC software tools.
DSE reports that it is continually setting new standards across the industry and is proud to manufacture its products within its UK head office facility.
The company recently released a set of new DSEBC1205 - 12 Volt 5 Amp Battery Charger & DSEBC2405 24 Volt 5 Amp Battery Charger units. The new battery chargers strengthen the DSEPower® battery charger range and the compact chargers can be mounted horizontally or vertically to suit different application environments.
The battery chargers offer multiple features including: wide AC input voltage / constant current / constant voltage / manual boost adjustment / auto recovery on removal of a fault condition / cell charge & equalizing / battery voltage measurement / battery charger thermal de-rate facility, plus much more.
Suitable for a wide range of battery types and with no moving parts for increased reliability, the chargers deliver a minimum 80% operating efficiency. The chargers can also be used as a power supply for additional flexibility.
