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.

Baudouan Weichai 1530KW Diesel Generator Set 16M33 Series Engine

Weichai is the earliest enterprise in China to develop and produce generator sets, with a production history of over 60 years. It mainly produces land - based and marine generator sets, including diesel - type and gas - type units. Weichai's M33 series engines include 6M33, 12M33, and 16M33 diesel engines. These are high - power high - speed diesel engines independently developed by Weichai based on the mature product platform of Baudouin's M26 series in France. The development of this series of models fills the gap in Weichai's high - speed diesel engines for power generation in the 500 - 1530kW power range, enabling effective competition with foreign brands. The M33 series Weichai engines inherit and carry forward the advanced product development and design concepts of the French Baudouin M26. They are benchmarked against international advanced engines, effectively avoiding various design defects. The product development emphasizes high reliability and low emissions. Th...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
