Synchronization and Load Share Errors

In order to synchronize two three phase systems without high instantaneous

energy transfer, the voltage, frequency, and phase displacement of the two

systems must be matched. Kilowatt Load Sharing can be implemented by

matching the ratio of power system load to system capacity to the ratio of

actual alternator power to rated alternator power. The LSM provides the

following information to allow the user’s system to achieve the necessary control actions.

• Voltage Match Error (in steps of 0.05 percent)

• Frequency Match Error, or slip (in steps of 0.01 Hz)

• Synchronizing Bus to Reference Bus Phase Match Error (in steps of 1 degree)

• Load Sharing Error (scalar quantity between 0.000 and  1.000)

• Synchronization Status

— Frequency Within Limits

— Voltage Within Limits

— Phase Within Limits

— Synchronization Mode Conflict Failure

— Phase Rotation Mismatch Failure (3 phase synchronization mode only)

— No Reference Bus Voltage Present Failure

— No Synchronizing Bus Voltage Present Failure

— Reference Bus Over Voltage Failure

— Synchronizing Bus Over Voltage Failure

Measurements

In addition to the synchronization function, the LSM provides an extensive array of monitoring information 

for systems wired in Wye, Delta, or Open Delta.
