SYNCHROTACT 6
Principle of operation
The synchronizing and paralleling process can be divided into the following blocks

Measuring Command generation

The main values, required for paralleling, are voltage diffe-
rence ΔU (amplitude), slip s (frequency difference), and
phase-angle difference α. These values are formed from the
two measurement signals u1 and u2 (see illustration below).
Matching
Voltage and frequency matching functions reduce the voltage
difference ΔU, and slip s by sending adjusting pulses to the
voltage or turbine regulators.
Monitoring of paralleling conditions
This function compares the actual values with their set
maximum values and releases paralleling (CHK REL) if all
conditions are fulfilled simultaneously. Alternatively, for
almost synchronous sources (very small slip between two
lines), the SYN REL-function may be used. If it comes to
voltage-free lines (dead bus), the DB REL-function is used.
The command generation calculates the necessary lead angle
αv, by which the paralleling command must be advanced due
to closing time delay. The action ensures that the main contacts
close at precisely the right time. If α reaches αv at the same
time as paralleling release (CHK REL), the command is issued.
With networks or dead bus conditions, the related signal
from the monitoring CHK REL, SYNREL or DBREL will start
its assigned supervision time t supC, t supS, or t supD. After
the corresponding supervision time runs out, the command
is issued. Every single one of these branches can be used in
parallel with the others, or switched off.
Synchrocheck mode (paralleling monitoring)
In synchrocheck mode, only the measuring and monitoring
function blocks are active. The output relay is closed during
paralleling release.
