DEIF network
The DEIF network is used for asymmetric P load sharing.
GOV control
The controller must control the genset governor for active power load sharing.
Control types
For controllers under power management system control (that is, in AUTO or SEMI mode), if enabled, the power management
system uses asymmetric P load sharing to share the load between the connected equipment. The shared load may be the total
system load. However, if a connected controller is under switchboard control, or if the SHAFT generator controller is supplying a
base load, then the shared load is the remaining load.
If a controller is under switchboard control, then that controller does not control its load, and therefore it cannot participate in load
sharing.
Input
If required, assign input functions under
Configure > Input/output
. Select the hardware module, then select the input to configure.

Parameters
Configure the following parameters under

These parameters only apply to the selected GENSET controller. Other GENSET controllers can have different parameters.

Enabled
: Asymmetric P load sharing is active for the GENSET controller. The
power management system runs the genset(s) with asymmetric P load sharing
enabled at their set points while the remaining genset(s) supply a load that is
between the asymmetric P load sharing
Minimum
and
Maximum
. If more than
one genset has asymmetric P load sharing enabled, then the genset with the
highest priority also has the highest asymmetric P load sharing priority.
•
Not enabled
: The GENSET controller shares the load equally with the other
GENSET controllers. If other GENSET controllers have asymmetric P load
sharing enabled, then the GENSET controller without asymmetric P load
sharing shares the load equally with the other gensets without asymmetric P
load sharing.
