Synchronisation option for generators

Doosan Infracore Portable Power (DIPP) has launched the new AGC200 synchronisation option for the G250, G400 and G500 PowerSource generator models

DIPP worked closely with DEIF, which specialises in generator control systems, to develop the new synchronisation feature with the aim of making the system the best available on the market.

Combined with the reliable Cummins engines and Leroy Somer alternators on the Doosan generators, the synchronisation feature allows specialist generator rental companies to manage and optimise generator fleet modularity and thereby increase utilisation rates. The new AGC200 synchronisation panel, as standard, allows the following working modes:

  • Single generator in island.
  • Island generator synchronisation.
  • Auto mains failure with back synchronisation.
  • Fixed power (Base load).
  • Mains power export.
  • Load take-over.
  • Peak shaving.

A switch on the back of the synchronisation panel is used to select the desired mode. In addition to the operating modes, two additional options linked to the new controller are dual frequency 50/60 Hz capability and a full power management module to optimise fuel consumption.

The AGC200 synchronisation controller is compatible with the newest AGC3 management software through CAN bus communication. The analogue load sharing lines also allow users to synchronise with non DEIF branded controllers. This capability offers the widest application coverage for rental companies.

The G250, G400 and G500 are the three largest models in the PowerSource generator family, which comprises 12 mobile and portable generator models with prime power outputs at rated speed from 10 to 500 kVA.

The PowerSource generators are equipped with advanced state-of-the-art, Stage 2 Emission Compliant engines ensuring the optimum mix of performance, fuel economy and low emissions. Thanks to the high-capacity onboard fuel systems, the PowerSource generators can run for at least 24 hours, without refuelling, ensuring uninterrupted power for critical applications.

The PowerSource line of generators is equipped with several environmentally friendly features such as 110 per cent containment of all liquids to prevent any spillage of fuel, oil, or coolant onto the ground.
