DanDel,
that is exactely the delima. Being able to capture a load step and have the lowest "monitoring interval" possible over a 30 day period. None the meters including the reliable power meter (RPM) can. One, capture the event, and two record for an extended period of time without missing...
Warros and Scotty, thank you both for your suggestions. I have looked into added capabilities of what software would offer in addition to the existing SCADA. Omega was one I looked at and E-TAP was another. Of course the real problem is getting the customer to allow such an addition. I have also...
Hello all. I am presenting to you what may seem to be a fairly simple question but poses more difficulty than first thought.
I am in the process of commisioning a Cogeneration plant and have recently performed a series of load simulations using load banks for the purpose of determining the...
When was the transformer last tested? Do you have the results? Had you noticed a steady temperature increase? Have you noticed high neutral currents possible associated with high THD?
thanks JLSeagull for the reply. As I mentioned GE is one of those groups we are looking at however because we chose not to use them for the cogen project they have noted some reluctance to getting envolved with anything application surrounding it. We are located in California. My main objective...
sorry for the confussion, to clarify somewhat we are adding in a redundant utility feed (21kV) in which will allow us to connect a (new)existing 4.2 mW cogen with an (old)existing 3.0 mW deisel stand-by generator plant through a line up of square D breakers. The cogen has a current program and...
Group,
I have recently been tasked with locating a controls group for a ring bus project that will incorporate an new utility feed, a Cogen plant, and a production facility (including switch gear and stand-by generators, UPS....)I would like some input on what criteria for a matrix would be...
Skogsgurra,
Waross gave a correct analysis concerning the importance of loading an engine/generator for the purpose of seating the rings. However, that process should be done on New engine/generators during the initial start and test but is still only an option that carries an expence to the...
In regards to safe minimum loads I would say yes that there are such ratings. However, as many have suggested, it is dependant on the generator system that you are operating. Stand-by (emergency gens.) contin. Power and or peak power operations.
Minimum loads for the most part are requirements...
