Typical application scenarios

Thermal power generation/hydropower generation scenario

Used for excitation regulation of the main synchronous generator in power plants, by accurately controlling the excitation current, the generator ensures stable output voltage during load fluctuations (such as grid load increase or decrease, unit start and stop), meeting the requirements of the power grid for power quality;

Cooperate with the generator protection system to achieve rapid removal of faults such as overexcitation and overvoltage, and protect core components such as the generator stator and rotor winding from damage.

Industrial self owned power plant scenario

In the self owned power plants of large industrial enterprises such as steel, chemical, and cement, excitation control is provided for the self owned generators to ensure the stability of the internal power grid voltage and avoid the impact of external power grid fluctuations on the normal operation of production equipment;

Support communication with the Enterprise Energy Management System (EMS) to achieve collaborative control between the excitation system and other production equipment, optimizing energy utilization efficiency.

Operation and Maintenance Guide

1. Installation precautions

The controller needs to be installed on a 19 inch standard rack, which should be securely fixed to avoid vibration affecting equipment operation; The installation location should be far away from high-temperature heat sources (such as generators and transformers) and strong electromagnetic interference sources (such as high-voltage cables and frequency converters), while reserving a heat dissipation space of ≥ 30cm;

When wiring, it is necessary to strictly distinguish between power circuits, signal circuits, and control circuits to avoid interference caused by mixing cables from different circuits; The excitation current cable should use shielded wire, with the shielding layer grounded at one end (grounding resistance ≤ 4 Ω) to reduce electromagnetic interference;

Communication cables need to be wired separately to avoid parallel laying with power cables. If it cannot be avoided, the spacing should be ≥ 30cm, or shielded with metal pipes to prevent interference with communication signals.

2. Daily operating procedures

Power on operation: First, connect the main power supply of the controller. After the display screen shows normal, check whether the parameters (such as rated voltage and rated current) match the generator. After confirming that there are no errors, switch to the "Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)" mode. After the generator starts, the controller will automatically adjust the excitation current to the rated value;

Parameter setting: Enter the "Parameter Setting" interface to adjust parameters such as voltage setpoint and excitation limit threshold according to operational needs. After setting, save the parameters and restart the controller (some parameters support online effectiveness);

Mode switching: During normal operation, AVR mode is used. When manual adjustment of excitation current is required, it can be switched to MVR mode, and the excitation current output can be adjusted through buttons or remote commands; Before switching, it is necessary to confirm that the generator is running stably to avoid excessive voltage fluctuations during the switching process.

3. Troubleshooting and maintenance

Common troubleshooting:

Power failure: If the controller does not display, first check if the main power supply voltage is normal and if the backup power supply is turned on. If the power supply is normal, check if the power module wiring is loose and replace the power module if necessary;

Abnormal voltage regulation: If the output voltage deviation of the generator is too large, first check whether the voltage setpoint is correct, and then check whether the voltage sampling signal is normal (such as the wiring of the voltage transformer). If the sampling signal is abnormal, troubleshoot the transformer or sampling cable; If the sampling is normal, it may be due to controller parameter drift, and the voltage regulation parameters need to be recalibrated;

Communication failure: If unable to communicate with the SCADA system, first check whether the communication cable wiring is correct, whether the communication protocol parameters (such as baud rate and address) match, and then use a multimeter to detect the communication interface voltage (the voltage difference between RS485 interface A and B lines should be 2-6V). If the voltage is abnormal, replace the communication module;

Regular maintenance:

Clean the controller casing and cooling fan monthly to prevent dust accumulation from affecting heat dissipation; Check if the wiring terminals are loose, and if they are loose, tighten them (tightening torque: 0.8-1.2Nm for M3 screws);

Check whether the controller parameters are normal every quarter, compare historical operating data, and determine whether there is parameter drift; Test the AVR/MVR mode switching function to ensure a smooth switching process;

Conduct comprehensive maintenance once a year, including calibrating voltage and current sampling accuracy (using standard signal source input, adjusting controller calibration parameters), testing the switching function of redundant configurations (if equipped), checking the charging and discharging performance of the backup power supply, and ensuring that the backup power supply can be put into operation normally in the event of a main power supply failure.
