•Increased Backup Power Supply Capacity

– When backup supply needs are > capacity 1 Gen

•Backup Supply Redundancy

– Provides “N + 1,2,etc” redundancy. Critical loads not reliant on only 1 Genset

•Operational Flexibility – Ability to switch loads between multiple

sources (including Gensets) for maintenance & test without interrupting power to the loads

•Reduced Energy Bills– Turn on-site generation capability into an

money-saving Asset, with start/stop/loading intelligence for reduced energy & demand charges.

Key Benefits of PSG?

•Single Genset – Single Utility Soft Load Transfer Switch

For small facility standby & distributed generation

•Multiple-Genset Standby

For Life Safety or Business Critical standby power to selected high-priority loads.

•Utility Paralleling, Peak Shaving Paralleling of Generator(s) and Utility supplies for backup of entire facility and reduced energy charges.

•Mission Critical StandbyTurning on-site generation capability into an Asset, with start/stop/loading intelligence for reduced energy & demand charges.

GE Zenith Design Recommendations

•True PQ Metering of Both Sources, including Waveform and Events Capture – for quick diagnosis of system events and outages

•Utility grade protective relaying for equipment and personnel safety - – due to extended nature of utility paralleling.

•Open protocol Modbus communications for easy facility integration

•Plug-and-Play PC Monitoring for low cost, but effective system monitoring and alarm management, including automatic email generation of any/all alarm events

•Key-lockable Control Switches for safety

•Automatic report generation for: Utility and Generator Energy supply (kWH), Demand (kW), and Peak Shave savings (based on site-specific utility rate structure).

Typical Sequence of Operation for PSG – On loss of Utility

1 Utility Supply Fails

2 ATS Send start signal to all Gens

3 All Gens start. PSG control system monitors. 1st Gen at rated Volts & Freq is connected to the Paralleling Bus.

Paralleling Bus

5PSG Controls synchronize 2nd and 3rd Gensets to Bus (speed and volts bias to Gen Gov & AVR), and close CB’s at point of synchonism (see above).

6 PSG Controls remove xfer inhibits on lower priority ATS to permit connection to Gen system.PSG Controls shed low priority ATS if Gens are overloaded. PSG permits manual or auto re-connect.

Typical Sequence of Operation for PSG – On Return of Utility

1 Utility Supply Returns

2 ATS’s retransfer loads to Utility, after preset time delays, and remote start commands.

3 When last ATS removes start command, PSG Controls open all Gen CB’s

4 PSG controls hold start signal to all Gens to permit cooldown at no load.

5 After cooldown timer expires, PSG controls remove start signals to Gensets.

6 Gensets shut down and remain ready for next utility outage.

Typical Architecture

1. Generators sized to high% of total facility loads

2. Utility CB and Gen CB’s act as a “Transfer Switch”, switching 2 sources of power to main bus in event of Utility outage.

3. Re-transfer to utility either Open or Closed Transition (typically closed)

4. Main bus is fed from 2 sources power – utility supply (primary) and generator supply (backup)

5. Bus AIC/Short circuit rating sized to capacity of utility + all Gensets.

2 When pre-programmed conditions for Genset starting satisfied (Utility load >x, time of day, etc) PSG Controls start Gensets, synchonize to utility supply, and close Gen CB’s.

3 PSG system controls kW on Gensets to fixed, base load level.

4 As system load varies, Utility supply kW varies to supply the load.

5 When Gen supply no longer needed, PSG Controls slowly ramp load back to utility supply and open Gen CB;s at near no-load.
