The genset consists of a Wärtsilä 18V46 engine acting as a prime mover driving an ABB AMG1600SS12 DSE
three-phase AC generator.
The following units and components are identified in the illustration:
1. Turbo charger
2. Engine
3. Generator
4. Base frame
5. Steel springs
6. Flexible coupling
The engine and generator are connected using a flexible coupling. The flexible coupling ensures that the
generator and the engine do not affect each other adversely due to smaller deviations in alignment,
temperature movements or any dynamic free forces.
For the same reasons are all external piping systems connected to the engine via flexible connections.
Transmission of vibration and structure born noise is minimised by having the Engine and generator solidly
mounted on base frames and base frames flexibly mounted on the foundation by steel spring elements.

Function
The basic function of the genset is to produce electricity by having the engine in operation and thus driving
the generator.
Operation at loads below 20 % of rated output should be limited to maximum 100 hours continuous operation.
Run the engine above 70 % of the rated load for at least one hour before continuing low load operation
This is to simplify the “function” in extreme, and the genset cannot perform these functions without the aid
of complex auxiliary systems, control and monitoring system and electrical distribution system.
The PLC installed for the genset controls the operation of the genset and collects and transfer information to
the central processing unit. The common PLC unit installed and shared by all gensets collects and transfer all
common information and controls all common processes.
The main switchgear or MV-switchgear (Medium Voltage) is the 11 kV system used to provide customers with
electricity via the distribution transformers. The LV-switchgear (Low Voltage) is the 400 V system used low
voltage electricity for electrical consumers of the power station thus ensuring continuous and reliable
operation of the auxiliary equipment.
The electricity for own consumption is normally supplied by the genset via station auxiliary transformers
connected to the plants MV system. A “black-start” unit is provided to supply power in case the gensets are
down and it is not possible to receive electricity from the public utility system.
Auxiliary Systems
The function of the auxiliary systems is to provide the engine with fuel, lubricating oil, compressed air,
cooling air, and charge air at a required quantity and quality, as well as to dispose exhaust gases in a proper
manner.
Therefore the auxiliary systems are essential for the proper function of the engine. The auxiliary equipment
should be in a full operational condition when the engine is in operation or in stand-by.
Note that all systems are equally important and even though some by-pass functions may exist, these are
only measures provided for short-term use during maintenance, for example.

Engine Control System

Engine Control System
The power plant can be controlled essentially from the following places;
The central control panel contains the operating switches and push buttons for the synchronization
equipment and the control/mimics for the plant MV and LV systems.
The enginewise functions can be monitored at the operator's PC. The enginewise CFE0_1 panel contains the
speed controller, the speed measuring system, the AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator), the PLC for the
generating set, the hardwired engine shutdown and breaker trip circuits.
The enginewise protection relays are located on CFC0_1 panel. In addition to these there are several local
control panels which are attached to their respective units (for example the separator unit has its own local
control panel).
Introduction
The starting and stopping of the power plant is made manually or automatically with manual order, while
power regulation and synchronization can be made either in auto mode or manual mode.
All the manual control and adjustment measures needed for the diesel generator is carried out by M1-unit of
generating set. The CFC0_1 sections contain selectors for the generating set operation modes as well as the
control switches for manual control.
In Auto mode the PLC system software performs the start sequence, the load control and the stopping
sequence. The PLC system monitors the status of the engine continuously and therefore it is not possible to
run the generating set without the PLC.
The names of the local control panels are for example as follows:
Start Up Sequence
It is assumed that all units are shut down and that power is available from the main grid. It is also assumed
that all units are in operational condition.
Some of the actions to take depend on the length of time the plant has been shut down and may not be
required if the plant has been shut down for a brief period only. In such cases the decision of what to
exclude must be left to the discretion of the operating personnel.
Occasionally during stoppage, covers are removed for measurements and checks. Before start it must be
made sure that all covers and protective shields are mounted properly.

Start of the Genset
1) Start the genset from the central control panel or from the WOIS workstation.
2) Check that the pressure and temperature readings are normal.
3) Check for alarms.
Plant Operation
Shutdown Circuit
Shutdown
The shutdown circuit will open the generator breaker and disconnect the excitation. The engine stops
immediately by the engine PLC. The hardwired circuit is self holding and will remain on until it is reset by
push button. The genset cannot be started on in this case. The indication light indicates that the shutdown
circuit is activated.

Tripping and Blocking Circuits
Tripping
The breaker trip circuit opens the genset breaker and disconnects the excitation of the generator. After the
breaker has been opened and excitation disconnected the genset runs unloaded for a preset time before it
stops.
The breaker trip circuit is self holding over an auxiliary contact and will remain on until it is reset by the
tripping reset push button. Before restart the cause for tripping must be investigated and remedied.
Blocking
The blocking circuit opens the genset breaker, disconnects the excitation and stops the engine immediately
without any recooling time.
The blocking circuit is self holding over an auxiliary contact and will remain on until the blocking reset
button is pressed. The genset cannot be started if the shut-down circuit is activated. Before restart the
cause for blocking must be investigated and remedied.

Parallel Operation
Share load ?
Island System
On ships and power plants which are isolated from other systems; mine sites and small islands, System
voltage is determined by generators and their voltage control system. Generator reactive load varies
depending on system loading.
Control method is voltage control with or without droop and with or without cross-current compensation.
Utility System
Base load stations, System voltage is determined by the utility, generators usually cannot affect the voltage
Control method is power factor control or reactive power control.
Voltage control without droop can be used for single generator when generator shall only maintain the
terminal voltage at pre-set value.
Voltage droop control is a universal, flexible control method, which can be used in single unit operation, in
parallel operation with other units in an island system or in parallel operation with the rigid utility - due to
voltage droop, the line voltage drops with increasing reactive power.

Power Factor / Reactive Power Control Mode
2) Power factor control keeps the angle constant regardless of the output P
3) Reactive power control keeps the reactive power constant regardless of the output P
4) Power factor control and reactive power control modes are possible only when a generator is connected
to a larger power system, where other synchronous machines (big majority of output) determine voltage
and can absorb reactive power.
Note!
Before synchronizing to the network, the generator must always operate in voltage control mode
