1. About AGC 4

Market-leading all-round controller

DEIF’s Advanced Genset Controller (AGC-4) is the most comprehensive and flexible power management
and protection unit on the market today. A further development of DEIF’s AGC-3, the new generation
controller is fully compatible with its predecessor and has been designed to allow for easy, intuitive, and
smooth switch-overs for those looking to upgrade.
Suitable for a wide range of applications, the AGC-4’s standard sequences include back-up power,
synchronisation, and load sharing.

The AGC-4 is simple to incorporate into both new and existing designs, customizing the application to fit
your needs, for instance dedicating specific functions or logic conditions to different inputs and outputs.
Technologically sophisticated, the AGC-4 is also the world’s most robust power management controller,
successfully tested to maintain reliability and durability in extreme weather and hazardous conditions.
Approvals include TÜV and UL.

Innovative plant management

Solutions
Responding to a growing market demand for temporary and
emergency plants to provide support in cases of seasonal
change, for remote locations with limited access to
distribution, or disaster relief, DEIF has successfully
developed a groundbreaking plant management solution
that can handle up to 16 turbines in one application.

Lifting turbine control from single units to plant level,

enabling advanced control and protection for large setups
from one central point of intelligence, AGC Plant
Management incorporates plant power factor control at
connection points, scaling, load profile priorities routines
and more.

The innovative system uses the plant’s generators to black-

start large step-up transformers with the push of a button:
enter the power setpoint you need and let the AGC-4
controllers do the rest.

Tried and tested at locations in Africa, Asia, and South

America over the past three years, AGC-4 Plant Management
Solutions have been developed not just with an eye for
safety but for fuel saving and optimized maintenance
intervals, introducing island, fixed power mode, and
asymmetrical load sharing designs to cut running costs.

12.Synchronisation

The unit can be used for synchronisation of turbine and mains breaker (if installed). Two different
synchronisation principles are available, namely static and dynamic synchronisation (dynamic is selected
by default). This chapter describes the principles of the synchronisation functions and the adjustment of
them.

In the following the term ‘synchronisation’ means ‘synchronising and closing of the synchronised
breaker’.

Dynamic synchronisation
In dynamic synchronisation the synchronising turbine is running at a different speed than the turbine on
the busbar. This speed difference is called slip frequency. Typically, the synchronising turbine is running
with a positive slip frequency. This means that it is running with a higher speed than the turbine on the
busbar. The objective is to avoid a reverse power trip after the synchronisation.

The dynamic principle is illustrated below.

Synchronisation principle - dynamic synchronisation

Synchronising Turbine Turbine on load

In the example above the synchronising turbine is running at 1503 RPM ~ 50.1Hz. The turbine on load is
running at 1500 RPM ~ 50.0Hz. This gives the synchronising turbine a positive slip frequency of 0.1Hz.

DEIF INDIA PVT. LTD. Page 33 of 69

REF No.:- AAR/AGC 4 Steam/Hand Book/REV-0
AGC 4 Steam Hand Book

In the example above the synchronising turbine is running at 1503 RPM ~ 50.1Hz. The turbine on load is
running at 1500 RPM ~ 50.0Hz. This gives the synchronising turbine a positive slip frequency of 0.1Hz.

Of course both three-phase systems are rotating, but for illustrative purposes the vectors for the
turbineon load are not shown to be rotating. This is because we are only interested in the slip
frequency for calculating when to release the synchronisation pulse.

When the turbine is running with a positive slip frequency of 0.1Hz compared to the busbar, then the two
systems will be synchronised every 10 seconds.

In the illustration above the difference in the phase angle between the synchronising set and the busbar
gets smaller and will eventually be zero. Then the turbine is synchronised to the busbar, and the breaker
will be closed

Close signal
The unit always calculates when to close the breaker to get the most accurate synchronisation. This
means that the close breaker signal is actually issued before being synchronised (read L1 phases exactly
at 12 o’clock).
The breaker close signal will be issued depending on the breaker closing time and the slip frequency
(response time of the circuit breaker is 250 ms, and the slip frequency is 0.1Hz):

The synchronisation pulse is always issued, so the closing of the breaker will occur at
the 12 o’clock position.

The length of the synchronisation pulse is the response time + 20 ms (2020 Synchronisation).

Load picture after synchronising

When the incoming turbine has closed its breaker, it will take a portion of the load depending on the
actual position of the fuel rack. Illustration 1 below indicates that at a given positive slip frequency; the
incoming turbine will export power to the load. Illustration 2 below shows that at a given negative slip
frequency; the incoming turbine will receive power from the original turbine. This phenomenon is called
reverse power.

To avoid nuisance trips caused by reverse power the synchronising settings can be set
up with a positive slip frequency.

2026 tMB Mains breaker closing time Adjust the response time of the mains breaker.

Static synchronisation
In static synchronisation, the synchronising turbine is running very close to the same speed as the
turbineon the busbar. The aim is to let them run at exactly the same speed and with the phase angles
between the three-phase system of the turbineand the three-phase system of the busbar matching
exactly.

It is not recommended to use the static synchronisation principle when relay

regulation outputs are used. This is due to the slower nature of the regulation with
relay outputs.

The static principle is illustrated below.

DEIF INDIA PVT. LTD. Page 35 of 69

REF No.:- AAR/AGC 4 Steam/Hand Book/REV-0
AGC 4 Steam Hand Book

Synchronisation principle - static synchronisation

Synchronising Turbine Turbine on load

Phase controller

When the static synchronisation is used and the synchronising is activated, the frequency controller will
bring the turbine frequency towards the busbar frequency. When the turbine frequency is within 50mHz
of the busbar frequency, then the phase controller takes over. This controller uses the angle difference
between the turbinesystem and the busbar system as the controlling parameter.

This is illustrated in the example above where the phase controller brings the phase angle from 30 deg. to
0 deg.

Close signal

The close signal will be issued when phase L1 of the synchronising turbineis close to the 12 o’clock
position compared to the busbar which is also in 12 o’clock position. It is not relevant to use the response
time of the circuit breaker when using static synchronisation, because the slip frequency is either very
small or non-existing.

To be able to get a faster synchronisation a ‘close window’ can be adjusted. The close signal can be issued
when the phase angle UGENL1-UBBL1 is within the adjusted setpoint. The range is +/-0.1-20.0 deg. This is
DEIF INDIA PVT. LTD. Page 36 of 69
REF No.:- AAR/AGC 4 Steam/Hand Book/REV-0
AGC 4 Steam Hand Book

illustrated in the drawing below.

The synchronisation pulse is sent dependent on the settings in 2020 Synchronisation. Depends if it is the
GB or the MB, which is to be synchronised.

Load picture after synchronisation

The synchronised turbine will not be exposed to an immediate load after the breaker closure, if the
maximum df setting is adjusted to a low value. Since the fuel rack position almost exactly equals what is
required to run at the busbar frequency, no load jump will occur.

If the maximum df setting is adjusted to a high value, then the observations in the section about ‘dynamic
synchronisation’ must be observed.

After the synchronising the unit will change the controller setpoint according to the requirements of the
selected turbine mode.

Static synchronisation is recommended where a slip frequency is not accepted, for

instance if several turbines synchronise to a busbar with no load groups connected.

Static and dynamic synchronisation can be switched by using M-logic.

13.PID controller
The unit controller is a PID controller. It consists of a proportional regulator, an integral regulator and a
differential regulator. The PID controller is able to eliminate the regulation deviation and can easily be
tuned in.

Controllers
There are three controllers for the governor control and, if option D1 is selected, also three controllers for
the AVR control.

Principle drawing
The drawing below shows the basic principle of the PID controller.

As illustrated in the above drawing and equation, each regulator (P, I and D) gives an output which is
summarised to the total controller output.
The adjustable settings for the PID controllers in the AGC unit are:
Kp: The gain for the proportional part.
Ti: The integral action time for the integral part.
Td: The differential action time for the differential part.

The function of each part is described in the following.

Proportional regulator
When the regulation deviation occurs, the proportional part will cause an immediate change of the
output. The size of the change depends on the gain Kp.

The diagram shows how the output of the P regulator depends on the Kp setting. The change of the
output at a given Kp setting will be doubled, if the regulation deviation doubles.

DEIF INDIA PVT. LTD. Page 40 of 69

REF No.:- AAR/AGC 4 Steam/Hand Book/REV-0
AGC 4 Steam Hand Book

Speed range
Because of the characteristic above it is recommended to use the full range of the output to avoid an
unstable regulation. If the output range used is too small, a small regulation deviation will cause a rather
big output change. This is shown in the drawing below.

A 1% regulation deviation occurs. With the Kp setting adjusted, the deviation causes the output to change
5mA. The table shows that the output of the AGC changes relatively much, if the maximum speed range is
low.

Output change in % of
Max. speed range Output change
max. speed range
10mA 5mA 5/10*100% 50
20mA 5mA 5/20*100% 25

Dynamic regulation area

The drawing below shows the dynamic regulation area at given values of Kp. The dynamic area gets
smaller, if the Kp is adjusted to a higher value.

DEIF INDIA PVT. LTD. Page 41 of 69

REF No.:- AAR/AGC 4 Steam/Hand Book/REV-0
AGC 4 Steam Hand Book

Integral regulator
The main function of the integral regulator is to eliminate offset. The integral action time Ti is defined as
the time the integral regulator uses to replicate the momentary change of the output caused by the
proportional regulator.

In the drawing below the proportional regulator causes an immediate change of 2.5mA. The integral
action time is then measured when the output reaches 2 x 2.5mA = 5mA.

As seen on the drawing the output reaches 5mA twice as fast at a Ti setting of 10 s than with a setting of
20 s.

The integrating function of the I-regulator is increased if the integral action time is decreased.
This means that a lower setting of the integral action time Ti results in a faster regulation.

If the Ti is adjusted to 0 s, the I-regulator is switched OFF.

The integral action time Ti, must not be too low. This will make the regulation hunt
similar to a too high proportional action factor, Kp.

Differential regulator

The main purpose of the differential regulator (D-regulator) is to stabilise the regulation, thus making it
possible to set a higher gain and a lower integral action time Ti. This will make the overall regulation
eliminate deviations much faster.

In most cases, the differential regulator is not needed; however in case of very precise regulation
situations, e.g. static synchronisation, it can be very useful.

DEIF INDIA PVT. LTD. Page 42 of 69

REF No.:- AAR/AGC 4 Steam/Hand Book/REV-0
AGC 4 Steam Hand Book

The output from the D-regulator can be explained with the equation: D=Td ⋅Kp⋅ de/ dt

D = Regulator output
Kp = Gain
de/dt = Slope of the deviation (how fast does the deviation occur)

This means that the D-regulator output depends on the slope of the deviation, the Kp and the Td setting.

Example:
In the following example it is assumed that Kp = 1.

Deviation 1: A deviation with a slope of 1

Deviation 2: A deviation with a slope of 2.5 (2.5 times bigger than deviation 1).
D-output 1, Td=0.5 s: Output from the D-regulator when Td=0.5 s and the deviation is according to Deviation 1.
D-output 2, Td=0.5 s: Output from the D-regulator when Td=0.5 s and the deviation is according to Deviation 2.
D-output 2, Td=1 s: Output from the D-regulator when Td=1 s and the deviation is according to Deviation 2.

The example shows that the bigger deviation and the higher Td setting, the bigger output from the D-
regulator. Since the D-regulator is responding to the slope of the deviation, it also means that when there
is no change the D-output will be zero.

When commissioning, please keep in mind that the Kp setting has influence on the D-
regulator output.

If the Td is adjusted to 0 s, the D-regulator is switched OFF.

The differential action time Td, must not be too high. This will make the regulation
hunt similar to a too high proportional action factor, Kp.

Load share controller/VAr share controller

The load share controller and VAr share controller is used in the AGC whenever load sharing/VAr sharing
mode is activated. The controller is a PID controller similar to the other controllers in the system, and it
handles frequency control as well as power control (load sharing) and voltage as well as reactive power
control (VAr sharing).
Load share controller
Adjustment of the load share controller is done in menu 2540 (analogue control) or 2590 (relay control).

VAr share controller

Adjustment of the VAr share controller is done in menu 2660 (analogue control) or 2700 (relay control).

General
The primary purpose of the PID controllers is always frequency/voltage control because they are variable
in a load sharing system, as well as the power/reactive power on the individual generator. Since the load
sharing system requires power/reactive power regulation as well, the PID controllers can be affected by
the power/reactive power regulator. For this purpose, a so called weight factor is used (P WEIGHT/Q
WEIGHT).
The regulation deviation from the power/reactive power regulator can therefore have great or less
influence on the PID controller. An adjustment of 0% means that the power/reactive power control is
switched off. An adjustment of 100% means that the power/reactive power regulation is not limited by
the weight factor. Any adjustment in between is possible.
The difference between adjusting the weight value to a high or low value is the speed at which the
power/reactive power regulation deviation is eliminated. So if a firm load sharing is needed, the weight
factor must be adjusted to a higher value than if an easy load sharing is required.
An expected disadvantage of a high weight factor is that when a frequency/voltage deviation and a
power/reactive power deviation exist, then hunting could be experienced. To avoid this, you can decrease
either the weight factor or the parameters of the frequency/voltage regulator.

Synchronising controller

The synchronising controller is used in the AGC whenever synchronising is activated. After a successful
synchronisation the frequency controller is deactivated and the relevant controller is activated. This could
e.g. be the load sharing controller. The adjustments are made in the menu 2050.

Dynamic synchronising
When dynamic synchronising is used the controller ‘2050 fSYNC controller’ is used during the entire
synchronising sequence. One of the advantages of dynamic synchronising is that it is relatively fast. In
order to improve the speed of the synchronising further, the turbinewill be speeded up between the
points of synchronisation (12 o’clock to 12 o’clock) of the two systems. (normally a slip frequency of 0.1Hz
gives synchronism each 10 seconds, but with this system on a steady engine the time between
synchronism is reduced.

Static synchronising
When synchronising is started, the synchronising controller ‘2050 fSYNC controller’ is activated and the
turbinefrequency is controlled towards the busbar/mains frequency. The phase controller takes over
when the frequency deviation is so small that the phase angle can be controlled. The phase controller is
adjusted in the menu 2070. (‘2070 phase controller’).

Relay control
When the relay outputs are used for control purposes, the regulation works like this:

The regulation with relays can be split up into five steps

# Range Description Comment

The regulation is active, but the increase relay will be constantly activated
1 Static range Fix up signal
because of the size of the regulation deviation
Dynamic The regulation is active, and the increase relay will be pulsing in order to
2 range
Up pulse
eliminate the regulation deviation.
In this particular range no regulation takes place.
Dead band
3 area
No reg. The regulation accepts a predefined dead band area in order to increase
the lifetime of the relays.

Dynamic The regulation is active, and the decrease relay will be pulsing in order to
4 range
Down pulse
eliminate the regulation deviation.

The regulation is active, but the decrease relay will be constantly activated
5 Static range Fix down signal
because of the size of the regulation deviation.

As the drawing indicates, the relays will be fixed ON if the regulation deviation is big, and they will be
pulsing if it is closer to the setpoint. In the dynamic range the pulses get shorter and shorter when the
regulation deviation gets smaller. Just before the dead band area the pulse is as short as it can get. This is
the adjusted time ‘GOV ON time’/(’AVR ON time’). The longest pulse will appear at the end of the
dynamic range (45Hz in the example above).

Relay adjustments

The time settings for the regulation relays can be adjusted in the control setup. It is possible to adjust the
‘period’ time and the ‘ON-time’. They are shown on the drawing below.

Adjustment Description Comment

The time between the beginnings of
Period time Maximum relay time
two subsequent relay pulses.
The minimum length of the relay
pulse. The relays will never be
ON time Minimum relay time
activated for a shorter time than the
ON time.

As it is indicated in the drawing below, the length of the relay pulse will depend on the actual regulation
deviation. If the deviation is big, then the pulses will be long (or a continued signal). If the deviation is
small, then the pulses will be short.

Signal length

The signal length is calculated compared to the adjusted period time. In the drawing below the effect of
the proportional regulator is indicated.

In this example we have a 2 percent regulation deviation and an adjusted value of the Kp = 20. The
calculated regulator value of the unit is 40%. Now the pulse length can be calculated with a period time =
2500 ms:

The length of the period time will never be shorter than the adjusted ON time.

General
The protections are all of the definite time type, i.e. a setpoint and time is selected.
If the function is e.g. overvoltage, the timer will be activated if the setpoint is exceeded. If the voltage value falls
below the setpoint value before the timer runs out, then the timer will be stopped and reset.

When the timer runs out, the output is activated. The total delay will be the delay setting + the reaction time.

Phase-neutral voltage trip

If the voltage alarms are to work based on phase-neutral measurements, please adjust menus1200 and 1340
accordingly. Depending on the selections, either phase-phase voltages or phase-neutral voltages will be used for the
alarm monitoring.

As indicated in the vector diagram, there is a difference in voltage values at an error situation for the phase-neutral
voltage and the phase-phase voltage.

The table shows the actual measurements at a 10% undervoltage situation in a 400/230 volt system.

Phase-neutral Phase-phase
Nominal voltage 400/230 400/230
Voltage, 10% error 380/207 360/185

The alarm will occur at two different voltage levels, even though the alarm setpoint is 10% in both cases.
Example
The below 400V AC system shows that the phase-neutral voltage must change 20%, when the phase-phase voltage
changes 40 volts (10%).

Example:
UNOM = 400/230V AC

Error situation:
UL1L2 = 360V AC
UL3L1 = 360V AC

UL1-N = 185V AC

∆UPH-N = 20%

Phase-neutral or phase-phase: both the turbine protections and the busbar/mains

protections use the selected voltage.

Voltage-dependent (restraint) overcurrent

This protection is used when the turbine must be tripped due to a fault situation that creates a reduced turbine
voltage, e.g. a voltage collapse. During the voltage collapse, the turbine can only produce part of its usual rating. A
short-circuit current during a voltage collapse can even be lower than the nominal current rating.

The protection will be activated based on the overcurrent setpoint as a function of the measured voltage on the
turbine voltage terminals.

The result can be expressed as a curve function where the voltage set points are fixed values and the current set
points can be adjusted (menu 1100). This means that if the voltage drops, the overcurrent setpoint will also drop.

The voltage values for the 6 points on the curve are fixed; the current values can be adjusted in the
range 50-200%

Voltage and current % values refer to the nominal settings.

Timer value can be adjusted in the range 0.1- 60.0 sec.

16. Case Studies

Case 1 There is a plant with 1 Mains & 2 Turbine of 10 MW, if plant mode is fixed power & both turbines
are in power management they will take setpoint from mains in Proportionate, but if 1 Turbine is
in fixed Power & other is power management then Mains gives full setpoint to other turbine due
to which plant generation increases, if I want that if 1 turbine is fixed then mains should give
setpoint other Turbine compensating the load on fixed turbine.

Answer There are 2 ways, 1 is if you want Mains should not look for Turbine which is fixed power &
maintain plant generation as per setpoint from turbine which is in power management in this case
total generation will be always more than the setpoint on Mains unit. (This is default functionality)
Example: - Setpoint on mains is 10MW & 1 Turbine is fixed power with 5 MW, Mains will give
setpoint to other turbine 10 MW.

Other way is compensation of fixed turbine, in which mains will vary the turbine which is power
management so that the total plant generation is as per setpoint in mains.
This can be achieve by activating M-logic command in mains.

Example: - Setpoint on mains is 10MW & 1 Turbine is fixed power with 5 MW, Mains will give
setpoint to other turbine 5 MW. So that total generation of plant will be 10 MW.

Case 2 How to give Import/Export setpoint more than 20MW as the limit in Day & Night Saving is -
20000KW to 20000KW

Answer This could be done by parameter number 7005 in Mains Group

1KW = 1 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 1 Setpoint can be up to 20MW

1KW = 10 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 10 Setpoint can be up to 200MW
1KW = 100 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 100 Setpoint can be up to 2000MW
1KW = 1000 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 1000 Setpoint can be up to 20000MW

Case 3 How to give Fixed Power setpoint more than 20MW as the limit in fixed Power setpoint is -
20000KW to 20000KW

Answer This could be done by parameter number 7055 in Mains Group

1KW = 1 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 1 Setpoint can be up to 20MW

1KW = 10 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 10 Setpoint can be up to 200MW
1KW = 100 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 100 Setpoint can be up to 2000MW
1KW = 1000 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 1000 Setpoint can be up to 20000MW

Case 3 How to change the rate of change of setpoint for Fixed/Import/Export setpoint, so that per pulse
increases the definite load.

Answer This could be done by parameter number 2525.

In AGC 4 Mains this is KW/s & In AGC 4 Gen it is %.
In AGC 4 Mains if you want 100 KW/s then u have to consider the 7005 & 7055 also

1KW = 1 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 1 If 2525 is 100 KW/s then Setpoint
will increase 100 KW/s
1KW = 10 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 10 If 2525 is 100 KW/s then Setpoint
will increase 1000 KW/s
1KW = 100 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 100 If 2525 is 100 KW/s then Setpoint
will increase 10000 KW/s
1KW = 1000 KW Set point Entered will Multiplied by 1000 If 2525 is 100 KW/s then Setpoint
will increase 100000 KW/s

So if you want that want only 100 KW/s then you have to change 2525 as per 7005 & 7055
1KW = 1 KW 2525 will be 100 KW/s
1KW = 10 KW 2525 will be 10 KW/s
1KW = 100 KW 2525 will be 1 KW/s
1KW = 1000 KW 2525 will be 0.1 KW/s
