Synchronising and Load Sharing
Synchronising is NOT load sharing.
To synchronise generators the engines and alternators
need not be of equal size, speed or number of poles
The phase to phase angles need to be zero
The frequency needs to be equalThe voltages need to be equal

Synchronising and Load Sharing
The three phases are commonly referred to as R, S and
T (or red, yellow and blue).
As a three phase machine rotates each phase is passed
by an alternator pole in turn every 120 of rotation,
when two machines are in sync, like phases are at the
same angle relative to each other and each machine.

Synchronising and Load Sharing
In the example below imagine generators a and b
are rotating in the same direction, at similar speeds.
On the left the alternators are out of phase whilst on
the right they are in phase, providing the enginespeed difference is not too great a circuit breaker
could be closed connecting the units together. The
coupled generating sets are then in parallel.

Synchronising and Load Sharing
Synchronisation is achieved by adjusting engine speed,
therefore frequency, and alternator voltage by either
electronic or manual means, then closing a circuitbreaker to connect two generators together.
The method normally adopted is to close the lead
engine circuit breaker onto the bus bars (bus) and all
other generators are then individually synchronised to
the bus.There is no real limit to the quantity of units that can
be connected together.

Synchronising and Load SharingAutomatic synchronisation is carried out by asynchroniser unit, this compares the bus and incominggenerator voltage, frequency and difference of phase
angle. The unit will adjust speed about a set point butwill generally not adjust voltage, this is an alternatorAVR or voltage matching device rather than governorsystem function. The phase angle is reduced by speedvariation to a preset level (

Synchronising and Load SharingManual synchronising can be carried out in two basic
ways,
A synchroscope which is in the form of a meter
and indicates synchronisation when the pointer is at12 oclock.
Lamps cross connected between phases R to R, S toT and T to S, these form a triangle with the R to R atthe apex. When in sync The top lamp will be off
whilst the two bottom lamps will be bright.Paralleling is then a matter of closing a circuit breaker
by whatever means available.

Synchronising and Load Sharing
Mis-synchronising will cause high mechanical stressesand may lead to serious damage. For this reason it is
normal to include a sync check device in the control
circuit of a manual synchronising system to prevent
operator error.

Synchronising and Load Sharing
Defining Load
Load can be discussed in two ways, true power (kW)
and reactive power (kVa) As engine manufacturers kW
is the only unit that can be dealt with.
Load is often referred to in amperes, this may as well
be ducks or elephants, it means nothing in terms of
power without either a kW value or known voltage and
cos (power factor).

Synchronising and Load SharingThe formula to work out load is
V x I x 31000
For a generating set running at 415 Volts, and 700Amps the reactive load is 502 kVa, if the power factoris introduced into the equation then the true activepower (kW) can be seen.@ cos 0.7 true power is 502 x 0.7 = 351kW
@ cos 0.95 true power is 502 x 0.95 = 476kWFrom this it can be seen for the same voltage andcurrent true power (kW) varies widely
= kVa x cos = kW

Synchronising and Load SharingCos is dependent on three things;
The power factor of the load if the application is
island operation. The difference in voltage between the generators in
parallel with each other and the load.
The difference in voltage between a generator andgrid when paralleled together.
What the figures in the previous slide indicate is that if
two or more generators are in parallel and they show
the same current they are not necessarily sharing load

Synchronising and Load Sharing
There are two methods of load sharing
DroopA decrease of desired speed for an increase in load
IsochronousNo change of desired speed with a change of load

Synchronising and Load SharingReactive load sharing
Like an engine, an alternator requires voltage droop to
share load, in this case reactive (kVa) load sharing. AskVa is affected by power factor the closer the power
factor is to cos =1 then the better the reactive load
sharing is.
Even if a group of generators are running with
isochronous load sharing, alternator voltage droop isstill required.

Synchronising and Load Sharing
To successfully load share there must be
Engine droop or an isochronous load sharing deviceto share active (kw) load
AND
Alternator voltage droop or, when parallel with thegrid, a power factor controlling device to sharereactive (kVa) load

Synchronising and Load Sharing
Load Sharing With Droop
The origins of droop lie in the mechanical losses
associated with purely mechanical governing systems.
With the advent of electronic and hydraulic governors
droop could be set to zero however to share load in a
simple group of generating sets droop is required.

Synchronising and Load SharingDroop is expressed as a percentage and is the
difference between no load speed and full load speed,
droop is calculated thus,
No load speed - full load speed
Full load speed
1560 - 1500
1500
x 100 = Droop %
x 100 = 4 %

Synchronising and Load SharingDroop will give a fixed load for a given speed.
For example;
If an engine, regardless of power output, with a rated
speed of 1500 rpm has 4% droop then with no load the
engine will run at 1560 rpm, at 1530 rpm the load will
be 50% and at 1500 rpm the load will be 100%.

Synchronising and Load Sharing
If this engine is connected to a generator and is in
parallel with another engine driven generator with thesame droop setting then at no load the engines will run
at 1560 rpm, as load is added and speed droops to
1530 both engines will be at 50% load, as more load
is added the speed will droop to 1500 rpm at 100% of
rated load for each engine.

Synchronising and Load SharingDroop gives stability to a system, higher droop settingsresult in more accurate load sharing, normally droopwill be set in the region of 4 5%.
Without droop 1500 rpm could equate to any loadbetween 0 and 100%. If two or more generators wereconnected in parallel the result would be very unstableload sharing.
Electronic load sharing systems do not rely ondroop and can control engine output by means ofcontinual measurement and adjustment of outputpower.

Synchronising and Load Sharing
Isochronous Load Sharing
Isochronous load sharing allows generators to run inparallel at a constant speed regardless of the load on
each engine. The kW output from each engine is
measured by a load sharing device, generally these
devices talk to each other and continually adjust
engine fuelling to maintain an equal percentage kW
load on each engine.
