The parallel operation that represents generators working together on the same load supply enables sharing the electric load necessary for multiple generators to operate to meet high power needs.
The manufacturing amount for the diesel generator engines is determined according to usage area. The largest range belongs to automotive engines, trailer truck engines, truck engines and heavy-duty machine engines up to 550 kW. These engines are manufactured in mass on production lines. The high number of manufacturing decreases the cost per kW and keep the manufacturing of large-scale engines up to 550 kW and using mass-production methods at an acceptable level.
This system is preferred by creating a system where a generator with high power operates parallel to multiple generators with low power. Low power generators have numerous advantages for the system. These can be listed as follows:
- Low initial installation cost
- Low operation cost
- Longer system life cycle
- Low maintenance cost
- Reliability - increased system safety
- Flexible usage
- Early delivery date
- Ease of spare parts, maintenance and service
An electric machine that converts a synchronous alternator or synchronous mechanical power from a first-level transformer to a certain frequency and voltage is called a synchronous engine. The synchronous engine operations at a synchronous speed.
Synchronous Engine Operating Principle
The synchronous engine’s operating principle is based on Faraday electromagnetic induction principles. If the electromagnetic induction principle is applied in a uniform magnetic field, the electromotor force at the armature coil is induced. The electromagnetic field is generated if the conductor becomes constant. Therefore, the relative motion between the conductive material induced electromagnetic field on the conductor. The induced voltage has sinusoidal waves.
Synchronous Generator Manufacturing
The fixed parts of a synchronous generator are the stator, rotary and rotor. These are the power generating components of the synchronous generator. The rotor part has a field pole. The rotor has armature and stator conductors. The relative motion between the stator and rotor induced voltage between the conductors.
Synchronous Generator Applications
A three-phase synchronous generator has numerous advantages for transmission, generation and distribution. Large synchronous generators are used in hydroelectric, nuclear and thermal systems to generate voltage.
The synchronous generators with 100 MVA power are used for grading in energy generation stations. The transformer in the 500 MVA power class is used in thermal power plants. These synchronous generators are the primary source that supplies electric power. The synchronous generator design is offered for a 6.6kW - 33 kW voltage range for heavy-power generation.
Mega uses synchronous systems in its generators and offers alternative solutions for energy projects. Using multiple generators instead of a single generator for high kW needs is more advantageous for the system. The advantages of these systems are higher than using a single generator. Synchronisation panel designs with an experienced and expert engineering team will offer integrated solutions to customers with state-of-art products.
Mega uses technical experience and global resources to synchronize multiple generators to offer high power and develops affordable systems that can operate in various projects. These systems help the company to show its difference.
The system that involves multiple low power level generators in the synchronous form are commonly used as these systems bring a lot of advantages. Since the initial investment cost is low, the users will not experience any problems in terms of cost. The service and maintenance for these systems are easy. The spare part supply and delivery are also easy.
