Synchronizing Systems

AGN Technology brings alternative solution to energy projects by using synchronizing systems. With combining more than one generator for your high KVA needs, this system provides significant advantages comparing against single generator with same power. Especially the synchronization panel that design by AGN Technology engineers offers integrated solution through customers with its technology. AGN Technology developed lower priced systems and show its difference by using its technical expertness, global resources and its production methods for obtaining high energies with synchronization of more the one generator against all kinds of scenarios.

More generators far more advantage:

The system that is using synchronization generator has much more advantages than using one high power generator. These are: Lower cost Cost comparison Lower first investment budget Flexible usage Sustainable and reliable system Easier service and maintenance Easier delivery and maintain spare parts

Lower cost:

Synchronization systems with its other advantages present a serious price advantages comparing against one high power generator. The engine manufactures, the engine that have power up to 625 KVA own a winder usage area. Because of its wide usage in work machines, Lorries and trucks, they have much more production numbers, and there assembly line designed for mass production which creates lower prices than high power engines. The high power engines mostly use in specific project which decrease their production numbers and increase their cost.

If you look at the chart you will see the most economic power interval is in 300KVA-800KVA. Because the high 0 demand of these models, production line is adjusted for 0 500 1000 1500 these models which decrease their production costs. The synchronization systems lower cost also eligible for its spare parts and expenditure necessaries. With a result of the high power engines mostly worked under recommended power load, some serious problems appear. These problem increase maintenance cost and smaller generator life. With its flexible work load logic synchronization systems prevent problems and minimize maintenance cost. AGN Technology synchronization systems bring 15% to 20% price advantages in first investment cost and also operational spending.

As you can see the comparative cost graphic the synchronization systems which gathered from different KVA models bring more advantages both in purchase and also after sale. Series 1 represents the cost of synchronization systems for same 2200 KVA power (4x625KVA=2500KVA) Series 2 represents the cost of one single generator for same 2200KVA power.

Lower first investment budget:

In the investments that predict a fast growth, purchasing a high power generator at establishment increases the first investment budget. By preferring AGN Technology synchronized systems you can start by purchasing lower power generator which decreases the first investment budget. According to the growth rate you can add generator in various numbers and powers which establish a problem free, flexible system.

Flexible usage:
We can approach to flexible usage of AGN Technology synchronization systems from both logistic and functional point of view.

On the contrary of common belief synchronization system can be synchronized not just in equal powered generators but also be different powered models. As a result of this application a flexible solution is created for changing power at different time a day. In a hotel that need intense power at summer time, is not also going to need some power at winter time. With the synchronization of different powered generators the intense power need of summer cover by high and small generator synchronize on the other hand you can use the lowered power single generator according to complete the power for the off seasons. Thus fuel expenditures and corrosion are minimized. In logical point of view, multiple generator systems create substantial advantages for difficulties about setting up systems against single large generators. The synchronization generators are smaller and lighter so this create an advantage about set ups. AGN Technology does not have to positioning units side by side. Because of this there will be serious advantages by positioning units in different small rooms and connecting them with wire in common feeding line.

Sustainable & reliable system:

If you think about continuity of energy synchronization systems offers more sustainable and reliable than single generator. If any reason if one generator shutdown you can continue to nurture critical energy needs with load take/give system.

Easier service and maintenance:

With the standard co-aging process in multiple generator systems, every generator working time decreases. With this process the synchronized systems utilization time and revision periods increase but execution and maintenance cost decrease. Synchronization systems also create flexibility at after sale service. In these systems generators can be taking into services while they are still operating. With right scheduling for determining lower workload period, power cuts which caused from maintenance service can prevent. Power cuts can also prevent by shutting one generator and giving the critical load to other synchronization generator.

Easier delivery and maintain spare parts:

Higher powered generators have much longer delivery time because they manufactured only by special order and limited manufacturer numbers. Serial production engines high demand numbers and their big stocks make easier for short time deliveries.

APPLICATIONS
Multiple generator application for prime power:

In a situation that there is no network energy, two or more synchronization generators feed energy loads constantly and these loads divided among generators by their power ratios. Generator sets allow for economic usage by switching on or off according for the energy needs

Multiple generator application for standby power:

When the mains energy crosses its limits two or more synchronized generators feed energy loads by their power ratio. After the mains power stabilized energy loads transfer to mains step by step.

Soft transfer:
When the mains energy crosses its limits two or more synchronized generators feed energy loads by their power ratio. Generator sets switching on and off according to economical usage of management's workload. If the mains energy becomes useable again than the control system will be synchronized generator or generator sets with system. In short notice synchronized systems uninterruptedly transfers its load to the mains with a platform. This procedure is mostly needed when a system in an energy production stations demands power restoration after its collapse (trip). Generator or generator sets feed station furnishings; after the station starts to produce energy, it transfers its with soft transfer. This application has known as "black start".

Constant parallel working:

Because of distribution company's change of tariffs during a day, performing high price tariff if the assessment value crossed or forced to limiting electrical energy as a result of inadequate groundwork; staying in constant parallel working with network could be advantageous for customers. There are some different working methods for parallel working. One of them is base load peak lopping in which active load supplied by generator system at intended power factor and other by mains system. This system is very popular among cogeneration systems which prefer constant load. Another method is true peak lopping in which power that supplied from network limited and upper power of this limitation supplied from generator. This method is mostly using in when the tariff price for an upper limits of a specific power is too high or when the supplied power is limited.

Multiple mains:
In the managements with two or more mains when the mains system collapses generator system become synchronized and start to feed load. To feed load from single bar which feed from two transformers, coupling cutters is shouted down. When the mains connected with bus-bar then the load transfer to this mains transmission line

AGN Technology synchronization control:

AGN Technology uses its own designed synchronization control panel in generator sets for synchronization and sharing workload.

For different synchronization application AGN Technology the following solutions are offered Multiple generator sets synchronization between them (ATSP09 x generator number) One generator sets synchronization with network (ATSP08) Multiple generator sets synchronization with network (ATSP09 x generator number + ATSP08) Multiple generators sets synchronization with multiple network (ATSP09 x generator number + ATSP x network number)
