I have a 50kW 3 Phase 120/240 12 Wire Synchronous hydro generator which I want to install at a site that only has single phase service available from the utility.
Has anyone done something like this in the past? Can the machince be de-rated to a safe level and run with only one phase...
I am not sure what area you are located in, but I've found useful information at WECC.biz. (WECC = Western Electricity Coordinating Council) The WECC is in charge of coordinating the North American Western Interconnection.
You should be testing your PSS everytime you test your AVR. If you...
I must correct my original statement that there is a 10MW cutoff. It actually is any syncro generator connected to the transmission grid can not be run in PF/VAR control. I am not sure what type of interrconnection we are dealing with, but in the WECC area regardless if it is Co-Gen plant or...
For the love of god leave it in voltage control! Plants in VAR and PF control mode have caused/contributed to system voltage collapses in the past. The purpose of the AVR is to support system voltage. If you are in VAR/PF control you will do nothing to prevent a voltage collapse.
As for DPC's...
