Maximising the value of your power solution. This presentation covers advice on maintaining your standby power solutions. From diesel generators and UPS systems, to control panel upgrades and replacements. The presentation also touches on the following critical power subjects: Control upgrade to give more functionality Fuel polishing & Maintenance to extend life Loads and load application to maximise efficiency / size capacity of your generator STOR / Demand response Load shedding controls Energy storage If you would like to receive more information on the array of products and services available to maximise the value of your power system please email: news@dalepowersolutions.com

2. Maximising the value of your power system
Thousands of diesel powered generators are installed in the UK in standby power applications.
Typically < 500 hours of operation.
Serviced annually with a maintenance agreement.
Tested periodically, usually without any load.

3. Generator Control Upgrade or Replacements
What are the main reasons for users to upgrade?
•Controller obsolete and unsupportable.
•Faulty controller. Often intermittent faults causing nuisance call outs.
•Change in operational requirements i.e. parallel with the mains.
•Additional signalling - Modbus - BMS - remote monitor via the internet.

4. Generator Control Upgrade or Replacements
Application Example 1:
Single generator standby to mains supply
Benefits:
Additional signalling - Modbus - BMS - Remote monitor internet
Additional condition monitoring of generator and engine
Typical Sites:
Utilities
Factories
Commercial buildings

5. Generator Control Upgrade or Replacements
Application Example 2:
Parallel to mains for no break change over on mains return
Export load to mains
Benefits:
STOR / Demand response (National Grid & local DNO schemes)/ triad avoidance = fuel savings
Maximise load capability
Typical Sites:
Data Centres
Hospitals
Factories
Commercial buildings

6. Generator Control Upgrade or Replacements
Design Considerations?
•Control Philosophy
•Number of generators / mains supplies
•Parallel with the mains supply
•Interface with site BMS and intranet – other comms
•Discussions with DNO
•Connection of temporary supplies & load banks

7. Generator Control Upgrade or Replacements
Key to successful implementation?
•Set up of control modules and factory testing
•Connection of temporary supplies and phased change over.
•Planning for power outages – IT etc
•Site integration testing and commissioning
