Triconex Power Management System
Features
Generator Voltage Regulation
The Triconex patented voltage
regulation algorithms provide precise control of the generator voltage
over widely varying system demands. Triconex can provide voltage
regulators for all exciter types and generator sizes. The generator
reactive map is modelled in the controller to allow precise control within
the generator limits. The Triconex AVR algorithms provide:
Auto Synchronisation
The precise speed controls used by Triconex allow easy matching of the
phase angle and voltage of the generator to the grid. Synchronization can
be accomplished automatically by the controller or manually by operator
intervention.
Generator Load Sharing
Triconex can provide numerous techniques for sharing the load between
generators. All the turbines/generators can be controlled by a single
controller or they can be controlled by multiple controllers. When each
turbine/generator set has it's own controller, load sharing data can be
passed between the controllers using hardwired signals or the Triconex
peer-to-peer communications links. We can not only balance the load and
voltage, we can also balance other parameters such as steam flow or
pressure. All this is accomplished without a "master" load sharing
controller.
Load Shedding
Most load shedding systems drop the non-essential
loads based on a drop in frequency. In most cases, once the frequency has
dropped, it's too late. The Triconex Load Shedding algorithms monitor not
only the frequency, but also the system voltage, tie breaker status, the
system loads and the reserve generator capacity. When an electrical system
fault occurs, the load shedding system compares the system loads and
available generator capacity to determine immediately which non-essential
loads should be shed. This technique is augmented by voltage and frequency
load shedding techniques if the system sags further. And the operator can
easily change the order in which loads are shed.
System Management
Through a WonderWare HMI or a DCS, the customer has complete access to all
aspects of the plant power system. Whether trending system variables such
as loads, voltages and currents or setting the priority order for the load
shedding system, all actions are taken through the same, ultra-reliable
control system.
