Closed transfer systems allow parallel operation between the electrical grid and one or more generator sets, enabling advanced functions such as synchronization, load control and power management.
During this training, the typical applications of paralleling between generators and grid are presented, as well as the architecture and configuration of ComAp InteliGen and InteliMains controllers used in these types of systems.
The course combines technical fundamentals with practical examples of configuration and operation in industrial power generation applications.
Training based on Servintel's experience in automation of power generation systems in Latin America.
What problem does this course solve
Closed transfer systems allow generators to operate in parallel with the electrical grid or with other generators, enabling functions such as synchronization, load transfer, power control and management of multiple gensets.
These applications require a proper understanding of paralleling principles, operating modes and the configuration of the controllers that manage the system.
This course helps participants understand how grid-generator paralleling systems work, how they are configured and how they are used in industrial power generation applications.
Common problems:
- Difficulties synchronizing generator and grid
- Incorrect speed and voltage control configurations
- Problems during load transfer between grid and generator
- Instability during paralleling operation
- Incorrect protection configuration for parallel operation
- Difficulties in load sharing between generators
- Incorrect Power Management configuration in multi-generator systems
This course teaches how these systems work and how to configure them correctly.
