Qc4002mkII

The Qc4002TMTM is our advanced control panel; it allows you to create a Power Management
System (PMS) by paralleling multiple generators after synchronisation between them or the
mains. It is also able to execute: automatic mains failure (AMF), interconnection analogic load
sharing (ALS), fixed power (FP), load take over (LTO) and mains power export/import, peak
shaving (PS) and MkII Transformer Maintenance (TM).

PARALLELING OF GENERATORS
Concept and differences

Very often we speak and confuse parallel, Analogue Load Sharing (ALS) and Power
management system (PMS).
When some generators are running in parallel it means that they are synchronized between
them, it can happen in different modes/situations (ALS; PMS; fixed power, import/export, etc.).

When 2 or more generators are running in ALS means that they have an analogue
communication between them in order to share the load.

PMS is a mode exclusively found in Qc4002 MkII where units are running in parallel, start and
stop automatically adapting the capacity of the system to the load, is the most efficient way in
terms of working hours and fuel consumption.

 To correctly synchronize generators, the frequencies and voltage must be identical

 Frequency (Hz), is the Electrical equivalent of Speed (RPM), which means that the engine speed
must be identical.
 Synchronising equipment is required to monitor the frequency and voltage in the busbar and
generator.

 Example :
– GEN 2 is supplying load and is running at 50HZ (1500 RPM).
– The Qc4002 of GEN 1 will adjust the engine speed to almost 1500 RPM ( for example 50.15 Hz )
– On the Qc4002 of GEN 1 you will see the angle difference between the GEN1 and the Busbar = GEN2
– Because of the SMALL RELATIVE SPEED DIFFERENCE, this angle difference will change between 0° ( IN
phase ) and 180° ( OUT phase )
– Breaker will be closed if frequency is within a dedicated setpoint : parameter 2050

 Activate Island mode via parameter P:6070
 Activate semi AUTO mode on the units. (AUTO mode possible also)
 Disconnect earth leakage relay on S13

 Connect ALS/PMS cable between the units.

START!

 Start the first unit and close the CB.

 Check in unit 2 (V2) if voltage has been detected from unit 1 at the BB (See Picture Below).

 Start the unit 2 and close the CB.

ALS CONFIGURATION
ALS PARAMETERS

– Parameter 6070 : Activate Island Mode

PMS CONFIGURATION
Qc4002 MkII

 There are 2 possible options to configure PMS: Easiest way to do

– Directly on the controller via Quick Setup Menu
 Access through JUMP button to Parameter 9160 & 9180
 Only simple applications possible: PMS Island or Single Mains
 Very good/flexible for rental applications
 Suitable for Plug’n’play cable

– Via PARUS
 Application Configuration screen
 More complex applications: Multiple Mains, Bus Tie Breaker controllers,…

 Commissioning tip:
– Occasionally, alarms appear during PMS (and other) commissioning.
– P:6900 Alarm Jump was created to avoid that these alarms disrupt the commissioning procedure. Turn
OFF during commissioning.

– Percentage Used Power Percentage principle
 In % (P:8882)

 Calculation method Value

– Start Unit  Available power < LD Start

ANNEX 1
Load Dependent Start/ Stop – Power method
 Example
– 4 QAC1250 (=1000kW)
– LD Start = 200 kW
– LD Stop = 300 kW

– 2nd Generator starts at 80% of the total available power (800/1000kW)

 Stops @ 70% (-1kW) => (699/1000kW)
– 3rd Generator starts at 90% of the total available power (1800/2000kW)
 Stops @ 85% (-1kW) => (1699/2000kW)

– 4th Generator starts at 93% of the total available power (2800/3000kW)
 Stops @ 90% (-1kW) => (2699/3000kW)

Load Dependent Start/ Stop – Percentage method

 Example
– 4 QAC1250 (=1000kW)
– LD Start = 80%
– LD Stop = 70%

– 2nd Generator starts at 80% of the total available power (800/1000kW)

 Stops @ 70% (-1kW) => (699/1000kW)
– 3rd Generator starts at 80% of the total available power (1600/2000kW)
98  Stops @ 70% (-1kW) => (1399/2000kW)
– 4th Generator starts at 80% of the total available power (2400/3000kW)

PRIORITY SELECTION – LOAD PROFILED

 Select Load Profiled Running Hours by:

– Select Running Hours priority (P:8031)
– Select Load Profiled (P:8112)

 Benefits

– Low loaded units get higher priority increasing the chance that they run loaded
 To further increase this, Asymmetric Load Sharing can be used.

– Improved engine utilization and lifetime

ANNEX 2
PRIORITY SELECTION – LOAD PROFILED

 How does it work?

 A new hour meter is created with the following premise:
– Load Profiled Hours = actual running hours * generator load (%) / 100

• 1 hour of operation
100 % load • 1 hour load profiled

• 1 hour of operation
75 % load • 45 minutes load profiled

• 1 hour of operation equals

50 % load • 30 minutes load profiled

Install a remote start

Safety First! Before start turn off the machine and switch off the battery switch
 Open cubicle in the unit and locate X25
 Connect switch between 9-10
 Put the machine in AUTO
