OPERATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH A BACKUP GENERATOR (include if the backup generator interface option has been specified; see Section 10.1.4). 15.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The generator interface shall be applied in conjunction with a new or existing backup generator and transfer switchgear capable of providing power to critical loads during an extended utility source outage and/or instances where the user has selected backup generator operation. 15.2 GENERATOR SET OPERATION Upon sensing a power disturbance on the utility source in excess of five seconds, the system control shall initiate startup of the generator. Once the generator is at operating voltage and frequency and the transfer switch has transferred to this alternate power source, the system control shall sense the voltage and frequency of the generator output. The system control shall synchronize the battery power output with that of the generator and reclose the PES. Upon closing of the PES, the system control shall ramp load current to the alternate power source in a seamless transition. Once load transfer to the generator has been completed, the system shall draw additional energy from this alternate power source to permit recharging of the batteries. After recharging has been completed, the system control shall initiate a return to the UPS ready state. Upon return of the utility source, the system shall automatically transfer back to use of that power source. In the event of repeated short-term utility source disturbances (each less than five seconds duration), the system shall initiate startup of the generator once 8.33% of the total energy has been discharged in the battery system. This function prevents run down of battery energy. The generator shall continue to run for a period of time sufficient to ensure full recharging of the system batteries. ) 15.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The generator interface shall be applied in conjunction with a new or existing backup generator and transfer switchgear capable of providing power to critical loads during an extended utility source outage and/or instances where the user has selected backup generator operation.
