GCR

The GCR is a digital power plant commander that allows one or more generating sets to synchronize and share load with commercial power sources. It offers two operating modes: 1) constant generating set power with commercial power varying by load, or 2) constant commercial power with generating set power varying by load. The GCR controls synchronization, loading/unloading ramps, power limits, and power transfers between sources. It communicates via MODBUS/RTU protocols and has monitoring/control functions.

GCR

Product
Information

Digital
power
plant
commander for generating
sets
paralleled
to
the
commercial power.
GENERAL POINTS
The GCR is the fourth version designed by CRE.
It allow the synchronizing, the coupling, and
the power control of one or several generating
sets in parallel with one or several commercial
powers. It can be used with the synchronizers
and load-sharing modules from Barber Colman
or Woodward and permits permanent or
temporary paralleling.
The GCR is easily adjustable and configurable
by its integrated screen and keyboard, or by a
PC through its serial port.

OPERATING MODES
The GCR offers two different operating modes
of the generating sets paralleled to the
commercial power.
Constant generating set power : In this mode
called system 1, the generating sets provide
constant power. The commercial power varies
according to the load.

FUNCTIONS
! Automatic or manual paralleling : In
automatic or manual (via a potentiometer)
mode, the GCR controls the correction signals
of all the generating sets by an analog bus
driving each regulation independently. The PID
synchronization performance is the same as
synchronization between generators.
! Loading and unloading ramps : These ramps
are separately adjustable for the systems 1 or 2
from 0sec to 30mn. These digital ramps are
perfectly linear and with a precision of 30ms.
The transfer times are constant whatever the
power to transfer (10s for 100KW = 10s for
1000KW).

Constant commercial power : In this mode,


called System 2, the commercial power
(imported or exported) remains constant. The
generating sets power vary according to the
load. The commercial power is measured by a
current input, +/-20mA or 4-20mA.

! Minimum and maximum power protections :


The low and high adjustable limits protect the
generating sets against underloads, reverse
power and overloads.
! Paralleling and power transfer with several
commercial power : A memorization of the
generating sets power allows to parallel a
power plant to several commercial power (one
by one). Transfers (power plant/commercial
power or commercial power/power plant) is
controlled without any power exchange
between commercial powers and utilization.
Two different +/- 20mA measurement inputs
avoid to switch power measurements for
transfers when coupling and uncoupling power
plant.
! Reverse commercial power limit :
Adjustable and at inverse time, it is available
on
an
isolated
NC
contact.

GCR
! Forward commercial power limit with
hysteresis : Adjustable separatly for closing
and opening an isolated contact relay.
! Commercial power meter output :
Adjustable output for imported or exported
commercial power by a +/-5VDC or +/-1mA
signal.
! Separate command buses : The GCR has one
bus to control the generators synchronization
and one bus to control the generators power,
for better performance.
! Signaling by leds :
* Automatic or manual synchronization.
* Generators paralleled with commercial power.
* Power up and down ramps.
* System 1 or system 2 operation.
* High limit reached.
* Low limit reached.
! RS 485 serial port : All the inputs/outputs of
the GCR are available through this port in
MODBUS or JBUS RTU protocol. It is also used
for programming from a PC (CRE software
protocol).
! Power set points : The GCR has 3 software
power set points adjustable for each system 1
and 2. These set points are selected by the
coding of 2 logic inputs. An external set point
adjustable by potentiometer is also available.

! P.I.D. power regulation : The GCR has a


digital P.I.D. regulation (Proportional, Integral
and Derivative) for the constant commercial
power operation (system 2). The 3 parameters
are adjustable separately.

CHARACTERISTICS
! CE Mark : The GCR is in conformity with the
European CE Mark requirements.
! Weight-Size : 3,5Kg - 330 x 219 x 58 (fixing: 4
screws between-axes 314 x 150).
! AC power supply 15% :
Reference
AC power supply
A09T0
100 VAC
A09T1
230 VAC
A09T2
400 VAC
Consumption 6VA per phase.
! Power measurement ( 20mA inputs) : This
input signal can be isolated or referenced to the
0VDC. Its response time must be better than
200ms for a good regulation. A CRE active
power converter (20mA) is available (ordering
ref. A24Z0).
! Commercial power meter output :
* +/- 5VDC signal: Minimum internal resistance
of the indicator 1Kohms.
* +/- 1mA signal: Maximum internal resistance
of the indicator 500 ohms.
! Relay contacts : Nominal current: 8A at
250VCA. Maximum break voltage: 440VCA.
Nominal switched power: 2000VA (resistive
load).

ENVIRONMENT
! Operating temperature : 0 to +70C.
! Mounting : Can be mounted in all positions.
! Humidity : Will operate normally in humid
conditions (tropic-proof circuits).
