Introduction
Power management and Load sharing: How this is connected together? LS: General function for balancing the load demand among the gen-sets PMS: Method of determination what gen-sets have to run in which moment

Customer satisfaction is our mission. We continuously develop the best people to succeed in our mission.

PM modes
"Absolute" mode - based on kW
If load portions connected at once are similar to genset capacity or bigger Example: Small factory with offices + electric pump (50kW), powered by 3 sets of 60kW.

"Relative" mode - based on %

If load portions connected at once are smaller than genset capacity Example: Bussines center with offices powered by 3 sets of 60kW.
