Silcon DP300E and Diesel Generator
Overview UPS and diesel generator are two factors, which are closely united when it comes to ensuring the supply reliability at critical installations. Especially in connection with longer back-up times, typically >20min., it may be worth using a small battery together with a diesel generator to meet the requirements made of back-up. However, very often the installation consists of a critical part e.g. a computer and a less critical installation e.g. lighting, aircondition. In connection with such an installation the most advantageous constellation is to have the diesel generator supplying the less critical load, while the UPS is supplying the most critical load. In that case the diesel generator will supply energy to the UPS even after start-up, meaning that the batteries are being saved. However, experience from many installations has shown that it is not always that easy to have UPS and diesel working together, as they are both regulated systems, enabling them to interact their regulators, which may result in instability. As the UPS is typically the greatest single user on the diesel generator, it is an advantage to optimize in the UPS to stabilize the total system, even if the UPS is not the factor causing the instability. To ensure an optimized interaction between diesel generator and Silcon DP300E more parameters can be re-programmed by the keypad on the front which makes the Silcon DP300E very flexible.
