Another method to support the mains is to feed different reactive

reactive power is defined through the value Q/Srated over voltage.
This can be defined in characteristic curve. The resulting outcome

4.5.12.7 Load Share Control
The easYgen performs proportional load and/or var sharing. This
means each generator will share the load at the same percentage
level of the generator rated power when paralleled against the
mains, in an isolated operation with multiple generators paralleled,
or when re-synchronizing the common bus to the mains.
The ramping of an engine onto others is interrupted; if
not enough nominal power on the common busbar is
available.
Proportional load/var sharing will not be performed
when the easYgen has the GCB closed and is in the
constant power/base load mode.
A system can consist out of 16 gensets which are controlled by a
single easYgen.
Configuration
Configure Application > Configure Controller > Load Share Control
37535C easYgen-2200/2300/2500 | Genset Control 302
4.5.12.7.1 Mains Parallel Operation With Mains Interchange Real Power Control (Import/Export)
The easYgen controllers maintain the real load level on the individ
ually controlled generators at a level so that the real power setpoint
at the mains interchange remains at the configured setpoint. The
real power setpoint for the mains interchange must be configured
identically for each easYgen.
The easYgen controller communicates with other controls in the
system via a CAN bus. This enables the controllers to adjust the
real power generated by the generator while remaining within the
rated power of the generator. A smaller generator will contribute
less real power as compared to a large generator, but they will
both be utilized to the same capacity factor. An example of this
would be a 100 kW generator with a configured 1000 kW generator
and a mains interchange of 825 kW. The 100 kW generator would
contribute 75 kW and the 1000 kW generator would contribute
750 kW or both generators would be at 75 % of their rated
capacity.
Reactive load sharing is not performed when operating in parallel
with the mains. The reactive power control will be defined by the
configured power factor setpoint of the individual controllers. If the
power factor controller setpoint is configured as +0.950, the
easYgen will proportionally share the real load with all generators
in parallel with the mains while controlling the reactive power at a
0.95 inductive (lagging) power factor regardless of the what power
factor the mains is operating at.
The parameter "Active power Load share factor" (param
eter 5530 p. 307) can be used now to define the priority of the
real power sharing reference variable (real power at interchange).
A higher configured percentage influences the control more
towards maintaining the real power setpoint for the interchange. A
lower configured percentage influences the control more towards
maintaining real power sharing between units.
The parameter "React. power Load share factor"
(parameter 5630 p. 308) has no influence here.
4.5.12.7.2 Isolated Operation In Parallel
The easYgen controllers maintain the voltage and frequency of the
individually controlled generators at a constant level. This makes it
imperative that the voltage and frequency setpoints are configured
identically for each easYgen.
The easYgen controller communicates with other controls in the
system via a CAN bus. This enables the controllers to adjust the
real power generated by the generator while remaining within the
rated power of the generator. A smaller generator will contribute
less real power as compared to a large generator, but they will
both be utilized to the same capacity factor.
An example of this would be a 100 kW generator and a 1000 kW
generator with an 825 kW load. The 100 kW generator would con
tribute 75 kW and the 1000 kW generator would contribute
750 kW or both generators would be at 75 % of their rated
capacity.
Example
The reactive power will be shared proportionally among all genera
tors involved.
Configuration

37535C easYgen-2200/2300/2500 | Genset Control 303
The parameter "Active power Load share factor" (param
eter 5530 p. 307) can be used to define the priority of the refer
ence variable for real power sharing. A higher configured per
centage influences the control more towards frequency control. A
lower configured percentage influences the control more towards
real power sharing.
The parameter "React. power Load share factor" (param
eter 5630 p. 308) can be used now to define the priority of the
reference variable for reactive power sharing. A higher configured
percentage influences the control more towards voltage control. A
lower configured percentage influences the control more towards
reactive power sharing.
4.5.12.7.3 Re-synchronization Of The Busbar To The Mains
The system is operating as an isolated system, for synchronization
to be performed the voltage and frequency differentials of the
mains and bus must be within the configured windows.
The bus frequency reference point is dictated by the measured
mains frequency and the configured frequency differential (+ slip
frequency setpoint offset (parameter 5502 p. 282).
If + slip frequency setpoint offset = 0.2 Hz, the easYgen will calcu
late the bus frequency reference point as:
n [measured mains frequency] + [slip frequency setpoint
offset] = bus frequency reference point
A practical example of this would be:
n The monitored mains frequency is 60 Hz
n Configured + slip frequency setpoint offset = 0.2 Hz
n [60 Hz] + [0.2 Hz] = 60.2 Hz bus frequency reference point
Example
The differential voltage is configured as a window. The monitored
voltage from the potential transformers secondary for the mains
and the bus must be within the configured voltage differential limit
in relation to the rated voltage configuration.
This means that the voltage window dV [%] is in relation to the
rated voltage configuration [%].
When the monitored bus frequency and voltage are within the con
figured differential limits, the "Command: close MCB" relay will
enable, closing the MCB, and the system will be paralleled to the
mains.
4.5.12.7.4 Prerequisites
All easYgen controllers connected to the system must have rated
system frequencies and breaker logic configured identically and
the parameter "Active power load share" (param
eter 5531 p. 307) or "Reactive power load share" (param
eter 5631 p. 307) must be enabled.

4.5.12.7.5 Load-Share Interface
The easYgen utilizes a peer relationship between units to control
the system. This permits for parallel applications of up to 16 gener
ators.
Refer to Chapter 3.3 CAN Bus Interfaces
on page 86 for information about the CAN bus connec
tion.
4.5.12.7.6 Load/Var Sharing Via The CAN Bus
The parameter "Active load sharing factor" determines if and how a
generator performs real power or frequency control when paral
leled with other generators in an isolated operation. This parameter
is defined as a percentage.
In the figure below (Fig. 104) 10 % means increased real power
control and 99 % increased frequency control. This parameter
should be configured with the same value for each generator.
In the illustrated control system, it must be noted that each control
calculates the mean utilization factor of all controls from the data
transmitted via the CAN bus and then compares this with its own
utilization factor. The utilization factor is compared with the refer
ence variable and results in a new reference variable setpoint. Fre
quency and real power control are carried out simultaneously in
these controls (corresponding to the reference variable).
Frequency control is carried out via the measured voltage/
frequency of the voltage system. The MPU is used merely for mon
itoring functions, or is available as a control value to the secondary
controller.

4.5.12.7.8 Load Share Control Grouping
Load sharing with several gensets is possible for a supply of a
maximum of four split busbars. A group breakers splits the busbar
in a way that some gensets supply one busbar and some supply
another one. However, it is necessary to group the gensets, which
supply the same busbar, into segments.
The configured segment number can be changed to one of three
alternative segment numbers. The LogicsManager is used to
implement this.

number configured #1 (parameter 1723 p. 309)
Case

- Group breakers A and B are closed and G1 through
G6 supply the same busbar. The same segment
number is configured to each genset since all gen
sets supply the same busbar.
Case

- Group breaker A is closed and group breaker B is
open (G1 through G4 supply a different busbar than
G5 and G6). A different segment number must be
selected for G5 and G6 by enabling the LogicsMan

4.5.12.7.9 Droop
The isochronous running frequency or voltage controllers keep the
desired frequency or voltage set point independent on the real or
reactive power of the generator.
The frequency controller with activated droop behavior (Logi
csManager ID12904 p. 281) reduces the desired frequency set
point dependent on the active power of the generator
(ID1752 p. 101). In case of a full loaded engine the frequency
setpoint will be reduced with the percentage value
(ID5504 p. 281) related to rated frequency.

The droop tracking for frequency/voltage control is implemented
such that when the control is switched to frequency/voltage control
with droop the frequency/voltage real value does not change at the
current active/reactive load. This is provided by pre-calculating a
setpoint offset, which is needed to hold rated frequency/voltage at
present load.
This is a feature in applications where for example the load sharing
over communication interface gets lost and the number of genera
tors remains the same.
The easYgen allows disabling the droop tracking for frequency and
voltage generally. This makes sense in applications where the
number of generators can vary during running in droop mode.
Multiple easYgens are load sharing under each other, if they run
isolated from mains or they control export/import power at a
common interchange point. For dynamic reasons it makes sense to
disable the load sharing, when the easYgens running in droop or
can fall into droop mode (Missing member case).

csManager function to change the setpoint.
The discrete raise/lower function always uses the actual value at

8950 Node-ID CAN
bus 1
2 1 to 127 (dec)
[1]
A number that is unique to the control must be set in this parameter so that
this control unit can be correctly identified on the CAN bus.
This address number may only be used once on the CAN bus. All additional
addresses are calculated based on this unique device number.
Notes
We recommend to configure the Node-IDs for units, which participate in load
sharing, as low as possible to facilitate establishing of communication.
8993 CANopen
Master
2 One bus participant must take over the network management and put the
other participants into "operational" mode. The easYgen is able to perform
this task.
[Default
Master]
The unit starts up in "operational" mode and sends a "Start_Remote_node"
message after a short delay (the delay is the Node-ID (param
eter 8950 p. 315) in seconds, i.e. if the Node-ID is configured to 2, the
message will be sent after 2 seconds). If more than one easYgen is config
ured to Default Master, the unit with the lower Node-ID will take over control.
Therefore, the CAN bus devices, which are intended to act as Default Master
should be assigned a low Node-ID. No other device on the CAN bus (except
the easYgens) may operate as Master).

[Version 1]
The J1939 protocol provides 4 different versions for the conversion method of
the Suspect Parameter Number (SPN). This is important for a correct inter
pretation of the alarm messages (DM1 & DM2).
This parameter defines the version of the conversion method: Version 1, Ver
sion 2 or Version 3. Version 4 is detected automatically.
For details please refer to the manual of your J1939 ECU manufacturer.
15156 Logging DM1 2 Most of the J1939 devices release a standardized DM1 message as an error
message on the CAN bus. These messages can be entered into the event list
of the easYgen.
A J1939 device can monitor the states of his inputs. When a error occurs a
DM1 message is released.
[On] DM1 messages will be recorded in the event list.
Off DM1 messages will be not recorded in the event list.
Notes
Only known SPNs can be recorded in the event list. These are J1939
Standard SPNs which also can be visualized. Manufacturer specific SPNs will
be ignored.

Description
Notes
The unit sends J1939 control messages to the ECU. Depending on the
selected device type (parameter 15102 p. 324), it contains a specific selec
tion of commands. Available messages are speed deviation and droop for
ECUs as well as engine start/stop, enable idle mode, rated speed switch and
preglow for some ECUs.
Refer to Chapter 7.5 J1939 Protocol on page 463 for more detailed infor
mation.
5537 Speed devia
tion ECU
2 0 to 1,400 rpm
[120 rpm]
This parameter adjusts the range of the speed deviation around the rated
speed, which is sent to the ECU.
It relates to the engine rated speed (parameter 1601 p. 101).
There are two methods of sending the speed setpoint to the ECU: With a
speed offset and a speed setpoint. The frequency and power control must be
configured to "PID".
Speed offset
(S6 Scania, EMS2 Volvo, EGS Woodward, Cummins)
The easYgen sends a speed offset with a range of 0 to 100 % (every 20 ms).
50 % = rated speed.
There is also an internal speed offset configured in the ECU, this parameter
determines what corresponds with 0 % or 100 %. If there is a positive and a
negative speed offset, they should be symmetrical in the ECU.
We recommend to have the same speed offset configured in the ECU and in
this parameter here. A different setting will result in an additional "controller
gain".
How to test this parameter during commissioning:
Isolated operation
Disable the frequency controller and change parameter 5508 p. 277/
p. 282 for the initial state between 0 and 100 %, the engine should change
the speed as follows:
n 0 = rated speed negative speed offset from ECU
n 50 = rated speed
n 100 = rated speed + positive speed offset from ECU
Mains parallel operation
Check with the setpoint in the display if the engine is able to deliver the full
power.

Description
Speed setpoint
(EMR2 Deutz, ADEC MTU, EGS Woodward, EEM SISU, Standard)
The easYgen sends a speed setpoint in rpm (every 10 ms) that varies around
the rated speed in the range of +/- the speed deviation.
How to test this parameter during commissioning:
Isolated operation
Disable the frequency controller and change parameter 5508 p. 277/
p. 282 for the initial state between 0 and 100 %, the engine should change
the speed as follows:
n 0 = rated speed speed deviation ECU
e.g.: 1,500 120 = 1,380 rpm
n 50 = rated speed
e.g.: = 1,500 rpm
n 100 = rated speed + speed deviation ECU
e.g.: 1,500 + 120 = 1,620 rpm
Mains parallel operation
Check with the setpoint in the display if the engine is able to deliver the full
power.
Keep this value as small as possible, i.e. do not enter a speed deviation of
500, if the engine varies only between 1,400 and 1,600 rpm.
Notes
The Wodward EGS ECU supports both types of speed deviation control and
may be configured either to "Speed offset" or "Speed setpoint".
In mains parallel operation, the EGS can be configured to receive a real
power setpoint from the easYgen to control the power. In this case, real
power control must be disabled in the easYgen.

eter 15127 p. 326) is configured to "On".
