� Upon completion of this course learners will be able to;

� Navigate through the easYgen menus

� View and reset alarms and shutdowns.

� Make adjustments to the easYgen 2500 control system to suit site conditions.

� Understand what is required to achieve successful synchronisation.

� Read and understand easYgen control system electrical diagrams.

� Conduct synchronisation of gensets with easYgencontrollers and diagnose synchronisation issues.

� Set up and adjust easYgen load sharing functions to suit site conditions.

� Connect and troubleshoot Autostart & Load Sharing Communications.

� Install service software and connect to an easYgencontroller to upload and download parameter files.

EasYgen - Introduction

� The easYgen 2500 generator set control panel is primarily used for Island Mode (non-utility Paralleling) load sharing applications synchronising up to 16 generating sets together.

� The easYgen range of control panel’s use a DC powered digital control module to monitor, control and protect the generator set.

EasYgen - Introduction

� The easYgen control panel interacts with other generator set systems to enable the monitoring and control required for the synchronisation process.

� In addition to the easYgen panel the generator set requires the following to synchronise:

� A suitable electronic governor (Speed Control)

� Motorized Breaker ( On the generator set or in the switchgear)

� A suitable AVR

� Droop CT kit

EasYgen – Features

� A special feature of the easYgen-2500 is the enhanced load sharing system. This provides advanced generator load dependent start / stop functionality with automatic generator set selection to ensure optimal system efficiency.

� Other features include:

� Multi-level password protection.

� Multiple communication protocols for communication with Engine Control Units (ECUs), external I/O boards, PLCs and modems

� Breaker control: synchronization, open-close control, only-open control, breaker monitoring

� Power and reactive power load sharing up to 16 units including load-dependent start / stop

� Multi master system instead of master-slave

� Running hours balancing

� Dead bus closure negotiation

� PLC-like programming with Logics Manager

� Operating hours / start / maintenance counters

� Configurable trip levels / delays / alarm classes

� Field configurable application settings
