    Communication Interface to ECU - Genset Engine >1MW

    Thanks for your reply. I know J1939 for automotive applications and of course mapping of some specific parameters is different. So for implementation mapping will be required... But my first question is just to find out which types of interface are established. So if anyone has a hint please...

    Communication Interface to ECU - Genset Engine >1MW

    Hi all, do you know which kind of communication interface and protocol is used for diesel & gas engines >=1MW ? I am interested in reading operating parameters. (E.g. temperatures etc) Following systems are in focus: MWM (ADEC) Wärtsilä (WECS) MAN (SACOS) MTU Thank you for any input ...

    Survey: Genset Reliability / Improvements

    Hi, thanks for suggestion of IEEE ! Your question: * Prime power operation. * I guess most for the relevant applications has a power within 1...5MVA. But if some effects mostly occur in heavier power sets I would be also interested in. Thank you. Thomas

    Survey: Genset Reliability / Improvements

    Hi all, I would like to ask which kind of problems in terms of engine reliability or protection do you detect on your gensets ? What are your wishes for a more reliable system ? I am analyzing electrical controls / systems regarding gensets and so I would appreciate any potential improvement...

    Genset: Immediate disconnection risky for the engine ?

    Hi Mike, thank you very much for your contribution ! I think that I know you from the "Yellow - Black - colored" forum, correct ? (regarding also your nick...) Well, I am more interested in larger engines. (lets say ~1MW and higher) You wrote that overspeed events with all associated...

    Genset: Immediate disconnection risky for the engine ?

    Hi all, thanks you for your replies. So a cooldown phase seems to be very important to provide lubrication and cooling for the engine. Ok. Are the observed overspeed events critical to the engine ? Or do you know about an engines damage due to overspeed trip ? Of course as you mentioned, if...

    Genset: Immediate disconnection risky for the engine ?

    Hi forum ! Is the immediate disconnection from the grid under full load condition critical for the combustion engine of a genset ? (diesel or natural gas) (E.g. the generator circuit breaker disconnects the load due to fault.) Could this lead to damaging overheat or mechanical overstress of...
