Synchronous machine control and protection in one package!
The Generator Commander is a new innovation that combines synchronous generator protection and control into a single device. Compared to traditional systems with several separate devices and multiple software, the Commander takes less space and saves considerable hours of engineering time. Additionally, its operation is smooth as there is only one interface to the system.
The Generator Commander has four software options for its AQ-G257x unit: the “C” variant (AQ-G257C) includes all the standard protection functions as well as excitation control; the “D” variant (AQ-G257D) also has the power system stabilizer (PSS); the “E” variant (AQ-G257E) has the standard protection functions, excitation control, and the synchronizer function; and the the “F” variant (AQ-G257F) has all the above-mentioned features from standard protection functions to excitation control, power system stabilizer (PSS), and synchronizer. For more details on the software options, please see the order code below.
With nine (9) empty slots the Generator Commander offers a modular protection and control solution that require extending the device’s standard I/O and communication even further. The Commander uses various communication protocols, including the 1st and 2nd editions of IEC 61850. The precision error for the power and energy measurement accuracy can be as low as 0.2 %, and the cybersecurity of the Commander is compliant with IEC 62443-4-2 security level 1 (SL1). The Commander is delivered with the AQ-GC30 excitation bridge.
Highlights:
Over 86% space savings compared to traditional solutions
Less spare parts needed
One easy-to-use software saves engineering time
The software wizard adapts the data from the generator specifications and calculates the majority of the parameters directly
Measurement accuracy of up to 0.2 %, robust technology, and the newest protection functions guarantee the best solution available on the market
