Autonomous Diesel Power Station E179.1

We regret to inform you that this product is DISCONTINUED; please find our current products here
 

The purpose of the Autonomous Diesel Power Station is to provide single-phase AC 220V/50Hz power supply to the  lighthouses or to  other users of nominal power up to 3kW.  The  220V/50Hz mains  and the diesel generator  will be  used as energy sources. The station is fully automated and, its  operation can be  controlled remotely by the  monitoring system. The AC controller of the station is continuously testing the mains voltage.. When the voltage  will become  less  of  a minimal acceptable  level, the diesel generator will be started and it will take  over the power supply.  When the mains voltage level is restored, the diesel generator will be stopped and, energy will be taken from the mains  again.

 
 
System components
  •  Diesel Generaator “Yanmar”
  •  AC controller E176
  •  Diesel Generator Interface E177, controlling the electromechanical interface “Servo”
  • RS-485 Interface (optionally RS-232 or ECHELON)
  •  Diesel battery charger E146
  •  Equipment cabinet 
  •  GSM Communication Controller E924 (optionally)
Features
  • Continuous testing of the mains voltage . When the mains voltage  drops below the  acceptable level,  the  diesel generator will be started and the users will be switched over to it. Switching the  users back to the mains and stopping the diesel generator occurs when the mains voltage is  restored.  The starting and stopping procedures can be initiated after a time delay, determined by the user.
  • Automatic heating of the diesel engine in the case, when the ambient temperature is below the acceptable level (in winter conditions).Control of the amount of the fuel (optionally).
  • Oil pressure drop below 1 bar stops the diesel engine.
  • Setting up  the control parameters:
               - minimal acceptable level of the mains voltage   (up to 200V);
               - time delays (0...900min) of starting and stopping of the diesel generator;
               - temperature of switching ON of the diesel heating, (-30°C …0°C).
 
  • Getting following diagnostic information in case, when the station is integrated into the remote monitoring system:
                - warning: no mains voltage;
                - voltage of the mains and of the diesel generator;
                - temperature of diesel generator;
                - emergency messages about the failures of the diesel generator.
