3 General
The Generator Commander is a new innovation that combines generator protection and control into a
single unit. Compared to traditional systems with several separate units and software, the Generator
Commander takes less space and saves considerable hours of engineering time. Its operation is
smooth as there is only one interface to the system.
Excitation in the Generator Commander consists of two hardware equipments: the AQ-G257 generator
protection IED and the AQ-GC30 IGBT rectifier bridge.
The AQ-G257 generator protection IED is a member of the AQ-200 product line. The hardware and
software are modular: the hardware modules are assembled and configured according to the
application's I/O requirements and the software determines the available functions. The I/O can be
adapted on a project-to-project basis and it can be used to form different excitation and control
applications. The IED's logic editor allow for the easy programming of additional functions, such as
various synchronous motor starting arrangements, generator standby heating, etc. The IED can be
used for both rotating and static exciters.
AQ-GC30 is an IGBT rectifier bridge and it is mainly used with rotating exciters. AQ-GC30 is rated 30
A DC and its functions are integrated for easy and user-friendly configuration within the IED. The two
units communicate with an optical high-speed bus. The optical bus and the thermal design of the IGBT
rectifier bridge make it suitable for installation in the generator's terminal box. AQ-GC30 can also be
used a stand-alone addition with a hard-wired communication to any voltage regulator with a suitable
interface, regardless of brand or make.
