SYNCHRONIZATION AND ATS AT SMART GRID

1.ABSTRACT 2.OBJECTIVE GC600 mains is the perfect solution
ATS Synchronization approach is implemented in To obtain a reliable power system in for the management of a genset working in

ATS Synchronization function involved in this project includes following steps:
 A short while before normal power source fails; the genset is synchronized with the main

power supply.
SYNCHRONIZATION
 When the main power source fails, the transfer switch breaks its connection to the mains
and shifts the electrical load to the emergency power source.  ATS Synchronization system are automatic to
avoid any accident due to manual operation.
 When utility power is restored, the transfer switch returns load from the generator to
the normal one.  All ATS Synchronization sys-
tem include load sharing
function to ensure balanced
use of the different gensets.
4.CONDITIONS FOR ATS SYNCHRONIZATION
 Load sharing function is
In order to synchronize a generator to the grid, four conditions must be met:
available as option when en-
 Phase Sequence ergy demand is low, only
 Voltage Magnitude one genset starts the other
 Frequency remains in standby unless
 Phase Angle the demand increases
Synchronization is achieved when the above
mentioned parameters are identical for the
two sources.
SUMMARY
According to load demand the utility
grid and genset are synchronized
