Generator Synchronisation Window
Generator Synchronisation Window
(OP)
Hi,
I have a 500kW generator that is going to need synchronising with the grid. I have the recommended synchronisation parameters from the manufacturer but I tend to think that the frequency tolerance they have given is a little low (+/- 0.1Hz).
Is this a typical value?
Thanks

To get a feel for the reasonability of these numbers, they correspond to one synchroscope revolution in 8.5 sec and 10 sec respectively. This "feels" about right for manual synchronizing, auto synch could be somewhat faster (wider window) based on the precise control of the closing signal.
Consider auto synch to avoid "bumping" the generator due to diversity in operator reaction time - back up with synch check permissive for best control.
