Overview The DECS-150 Digital Excitation Control System is a high powered, low-cost, and environmentally rugged solution for controlling the output of rotary excited synchronous generators. The DECS-150 is perfect for machines that are paralleled to other generators and/or the utility system. It is ideal for distributed generation, cogeneration, and peak shaving applications.
Features Benefits • Microprocessor based • Microprocessor-based design provides high functionality and • 0.25% voltage regulation accuracy performance.
• 0.5% accuracy up to 40% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) • Powerful 7-amp, PWM power stage provides high field forcing for (harmonics associated with six-thyristor load) increased system response.
• Capable of 10 Adc continuous field current output when system • Integrated generator and exciter protection ensure proper system temperature is 55°C (131°F) or below operation.
• Load Sharing over Ethernet • Rugged, potted design for exceptional reliability in the harshest environments. • Auto tuning feature with two PID stability groups • Auto tuning allows for easier commissioning, saving time and • Var/PF control money. • Exciter Diode Monitor (EDM) • External Autotracking provides redundancy and more reliable • Overexcitation limiting system design. • Underexcitation limiting • Grid code settings provide compatibility with grid code compliant systems. • Stator current limiting • Voltage matching • Manual mode (field current regulation) • Paralleling input from 1-amp or 5-amp CT secondaries • Nominal sensing inputs of 120, 240, 480, and 600 Vac • Power input from 50/60 Hz shunt connection or permanent magnet generator (PMG) operating at 50 to 500 Hz • Integrated protection functions including Loss of Sensing and Transfer to Manual • LED annunciation of operating conditions • Ethernet communications with Modbus® TCP • Set up via PC using BESTCOMSPlus® software (included) • Customizable logic in BESTlogic™Plus • IP54 rating when rear-mounted USB option is selected Figure 1 - DECS-150 Connection Diagram for a Typical Application
