With all its features and functionalities, AGC-4 proves to be the advanced controllers available in market today.
In recent times, new technology and increased environmental awareness, combined with the liberalisation of the power sector, have led to a boom in decentralised power production. An increased demand for high quality emergency power plants is another trend, as critical applications like data centres and hospitals demand close to 100 per cent secure, reliable electric supply. The control of decentralised power production and emergency plants orders for highly advanced and specialised technology.
DEIF’s robust and reliable Automatic Genset Controller, AGC-4 features proven technology that is flexible and suitable for a wide variety of complex applications that has a mix of solar, gas, hydro and steam power plants, both for power generation and emergency power supply.
Power management AGC-4’s power management package enables you to configure your own system from one genset to multiple mains, multiple genset up to 992 genset in the same application. The complete power management system can easily be monitored from the PC utility software through a graphical supervision page. Running status, hours in operation, breaker status, condition of mains and busbars and fuel consumption are just some of the values that are presented. Multi-master system and internal redundant communication between the controllers make it safe for operation with master backup. Every DG can be the commanding unit. Basic functions under power management include load-dependent start/stop operation, priority selection of genset, priority selection of mains (ID to Run), load management, multi-start DG control, ground relay, heavy consumer control, non-essential load trip, and quick setup.
Extendable multiple displaysUp to 3 displays can be connected over the CANbus to one controller to replicate the parameter values. These display units can be placed 30 metre away from the controller unit, example one display unit can be mounted on the controller unit near the genset in the machine room, one in the switchboard room and the third in plant control room, all connected over the CAN line.Each AOP has 16 tricolor configurable LEDs and 8 configurable push-buttons. All LEDs can be configured for both alarm and function indication via the PC software. AOPs make it possible to optimise the panel perfectly for the exact application for lamp indications relevant to the operator, reducing panel size, save wiring, and ease troubleshooting.
The number of components on a switchboard or panel can be reduced as AGC-4 has all protections functions and measurements can be viewed on the display, with synchronisation and load sharing included enabling easy overview and operator-friendliness; while saving additional cost of meters.
