  8. Slide 8: What is Paralleling?

    What is Paralleling?  Synchronous operation of two or more generator sets connected together on a bus in order to provide power to loads 𝑛𝑛𝑛𝑛 𝑓𝑓 𝐻𝐻𝐻𝐻 = Generator Sets 120 Transfer Switches 𝑛𝑛: 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟, 𝑃𝑃: 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 Emergency Point of Power Connection: Switchgear…

  9. Slide 9: Why Parallel?

    Why Parallel?  Reliability • Not dependent on a single generator. If one generator fails, there are other generators to power the load  Performance • A large generator bus capacity will act more like a utility. There will be less frequency and voltage variations during load steps  Redundancy • Cr

  13. Slide 13: Paralleling Generator Sets

    Paralleling Generator Sets  A generator set output power can be connected to a another generator source only when the following conditions are met: v • Waveform (2/3rd pitch or 5/6th pitch) • Phase sequence • Speed difference (frequency) A A t • Phase angle difference • Voltage amplitude difference
