Parallel Operation Impulse Current Calculation Method 2

This article continues to introduce the calculation method of impulse current for parallel operation of diesel generators.

The expression of the transient inrush current during the no - load connection of a doubly - fed induction generator is derived. The influence of the voltage amplitude difference and the phase difference on the inrush current is analyzed, and corresponding measures to suppress the inrush current are proposed. When a three - phase synchronous generator operates symmetrically, the effect of a single - phase can be equivalently considered. Through the finite - element modeling of a single - phase generator, it is verified that the frequency difference has little influence on the inrush current. The closing operation for paralleling does not select the moment when the frequency between the generator and the system is the same. A slight frequency difference makes it easier for the main generator to pull the generator to be paralleled into synchronization. Therefore, the main factors affecting the magnitude of the inrush current are the voltage amplitude difference and the angular differenc

Starting from the analysis of the causes and impacts of the inrush current during the paralleling process of a synchronous generator, the calculation formula of the inrush current when there are both voltage amplitude differences and phase differences is derived. Through the calculation of an example of generator set paralleling, a reasonable range of parameter differences is given, providing a theoretical basis for the parameter setting of the synchronization locking device for generator paralleling.

Regarding the causes and impacts of the inrush current during the paralleling process of a generator, the Laplace transform is used to give the calculation formula of the generator inrush current when there are voltage amplitude differences and phase differences. Taking the actual paralleling of a diesel generator set as an example, a reasonable range of parameter differences is calculated. Through the above analysis and calculation, the following conclusions can be drawn:

1.The magnitude of the inrush current during the parallel operation of a three - phase synchronous generator is mainly determined by the comprehensive effect of the voltage difference and the phase difference at the moment of closing for paralleling. The frequency difference between the generator sets at the moment of paralleling has little influence on the magnitude of the inrush current. An appropriate frequency difference can enable the generator sets to quickly enter the synchronous operation state, but an excessive frequency difference will cause the generator sets to experience long - term oscillations and may even lead to disconnection.

2.When operating the parallel operation of generator sets of any capacity, the voltage amplitudes on both sides of the system to be paralleled are first adjusted to be equal. However, in actual operation, when the parallel circuit breaker is closed, there are always both voltage amplitude differences and angular differences. Therefore, the inrush current is caused by the combined effect of the voltage amplitude difference and the angular difference.

3.Setting a reasonable parameter range for the parallel circuit breaker and the synchronization device can reduce the inrush current caused by the voltage amplitude difference and the angular difference, improve the success rate of parallel operation, speed up the paralleling process, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the system.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

How to Choose a Household Mini Generator

With the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more household appliances, such as rice cookers, microwaves, kettles, refrigerators, air - conditioners, washing machines, etc. It can be said that every household has them. But what if there is a power outage? These appliances won't work properly, and our lives will be greatly disrupted. How can we avoid this? We can use household mini - generators to provide convenience in power consumption. So, how to choose a good household mini - generator? Consider the noise level Since it is for household use, when choosing a household mini - generator, we need to check whether the noise will affect the neighbors. Generally, the seller will demonstrate the performance of the generator in advance. A good household generator can reduce noise by about 80%. Choose a generator with a moderate price Due to different brands, there are significant differences in power, and consequently, the price differences of househ...

How to Choose Efficient Diesel Generators for the Film and Television Industry?

In the film and television industry, the stability of the electricity supply during filming is crucial. Whether the equipment are the cameras or the lighting equipment on the filming site, or the post-production equipment, they all need stable and reliable power support. Unstable or interrupted power can result in interrupted filming, damage to equipment, and even affecting the progress and quality of the entire project. Therefore, investing in high-efficiency diesel generator sets has become an important measure for the film and television industry to ensure the reliable power supply for shooting. Determine the power requirements Before choosing a diesel generator set for the film and television industry, it’s necessary to figure out the total power needs, including the electricity demand of the shooting location, the total power of the electrical equipment and the time of using electricity. Also consider whether there are special needs for the generators such as low noise level and...
