Detailed CGCM-DLR Unit Tag Descriptions
VAR Mode
This section describes the VAR mode inputs and outputs for the CGCM-DLR
unit.
Inputs to CGCM Unit
The VAR mode has these inputs.
•
PF_VAR_Select –
This tag lets you select PF or VAR control.
•
PF_VAR_En -
When this tag is set to 1, the CGCM-DLR unit uses the
PF_VAR_Select tag to determine its control mode. When this tag is set to
0, the CGCM-DLR unit uses the AVR_FCR_Select tag to determine its
control mode.
•
VARSetpt -
This tag sets the desired kVAR setpoint for operation in the
VAR control mode.
•
VAR_Kg -
This tag lets you adjust coarse loop gain and overall gain of the
power factor controller. It also determines the characteristic of the
dynamic response to a change in the power factor of the generator.
•
VAR_Ki -
This tag lets you adjust the integral gain of the VAR controller.
It also determines the characteristic of the dynamic response to a change in
the VAR setting.
•
VAR_Traverse_Rate -
This parameter determines the time that is
measured in seconds for the setpoint to move from zero to the rated
generator KVA. It determines how fast the regulator changes the VAR
setpoint from the tracking value to the operating setpoint when the
Regulator Operating mode changes to VAR.
•
PF_VARAuxGain -
This tag lets you adjust the overall gain of the
auxiliary input control on the VAR/PF operating modes. The units for the
VAR controller are percent of nominal per volt. A setting of 1 results in the
controlled parameter changing by one percent of the nominal value for
each volt applied to the auxiliary input. For PF control, the units are
0.01PF per volt. A setting of 5 results in the regulated PF changing by 0.05
for each volt applied to the auxiliary input.
Outputs from CGCM-DLR Unit
The VAR mode has these outputs:
•
PF_VAR_Selection
- This tag reports the selection of PF or VAR control
(see
PF_VAR_Select
).
•
PF_VAR_Control –
This tag reports your selection of PF/VAR or
AVR/FCR mode.
