Generator Control and Paralleling System

Incorporating Woodward easYgen 3000 Series Controller

Systems Insight is a generator systems specialist, with extensive experience in design and manufacture of custom built generator control packages. Systems Insight has designed a range of standard generator control systems that are suitable for use in a variety of applications, incorporating an extensive range of features. A key product in our range is our generator paralleling control panel, incorporating the Woodward easYgen 3000 controller. The Woodward easYgen 3000 is a self contained, microprocessor operated generator paralleling and load controller. The easYgen 3000 is packaged as an all-in-one, multifunction device with a dynamic multifunction LCD display. The easYgen is available in four models, 3100, 3200, 3400 and 3500. Its key features include generator start / stop control, generator set paralleling with isochronous load sharing and soft loading & unloading. The unit incorporates comprehensive electrical protection and metering. The all-in-one design enables integration to a compact powder coated sheet steel enclosure. The pre-wired enclosure is supplied in readiness for quick installation and easy interfacing to a standard diesel or gas engine generator set. The package may be used with

generators from all the major manufacturers and is easily integrated to most basic engine generator sets. (With or without a manufacturers standard proprietary control panel) The system is primarily designed for use in standby/ emergency power applications where multiple paralleled generators operate in mains-isolated operation. The control system may also be used for single unit utility-parallel operation or networked group-parallel operation with the utility mains, including soft load transfer to (and from) the utility without interruption to supply. Woodward LS5 synchronizing controllers may be linked with easYgen 3500 controllers via CAN Bus for synchronizing control of remote circuit breakers and transfer switches, such as may be employed in closed transition power transfer systems. When used for multiple generator installations, the easYgen 3000 is networked to automatically control and sequence up to 32 paralleled generator sets according to load demand. The controller utilizes a wide range DC supply, which may be sourced from the generator engine start batteries. Alternatively, Systems Insight can supply a dedicated 24VDC controls power supply as an add-on option.
