I was lost in thought for the saying ”with the wisdom of all” when i joined SmartGen. What wisdom can i contribute to the development of the company. I finally understood the great wisdom that a producer should have until i saw all the efforts we made for the sudden increase of large orders and the various improvements we made to reach the delivery date.

Not long ago, we were happy and worried when we received an order for 700 control cabinets and were required to complete within 10 days. The current production capacity was far from the target. How to solve it? The production director resolutely rejected the proposal of subcontract production. Producer should not shrink back when encountering some difficulties. He wanted to take this opportunity to train the team and build a team that can fight formidable task. He decided to do it by themselves.

We must make a plan in order to complete the order. After several years of learning, lean production has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Finally, we took a streamlined lean production method, stable and orderly production cycle time. We encountered difficulties on the first day of the implementation of the new plan. There was a big gap with goal after working until 10 o’clock. The order was urgent and the employees were also anxious. What should we do?

After reviewing, thinking, summarizing, improving and a series of efforts, the degree of automation has reached the limit. Everyone worked hard, but there was still a gap with the goals. We had to increase people, but where do they come from? There was a good news was that colleagues from other centers gave their hand. Everyone was very motivated when they heard it.

Under the guidance of lean thinking, the support of automation equipment, the help of colleagues from other center, we finally completed the order within the specified time. As a producer, i didn’t know how to express my mood when i saw my colleague take one for the team. An ordinary workshop, an ordinary production line, a group of ordinary employees, one by one extraordinary figure, had powerful strength and firm tenacity!

Some people say that great wisdom is intelligence, others say that great wisdom is to grasp the truth. I want to say that the great wisdom of the producers has verified the enterprise spirit of SmartGen “Continuous improvement, teamwork creates value!”

Come on!!!

Hybrid energy controller HES9510 is used for diesel gensets with solar energy, wind energy, energy storage battery in inverter as output energy systems, which can control the start and stop of inverter power supply, output mode, output size as well output closing/opening of breaker, etc. It can also control the start and stop of gensets in system according to the loads, provide spinning reserve for the inverter power supply. In addition, it can also control the converter for energy storage battery charging and discharging management.

Main Functions:
The maximum capacity of PV calculated by collecting up to 3-way solar panel temperature and 3-way solar irradiance;
Busbar normal automatic closing and starting with load, automatic soft loading and soft unloading;
Two active power control modes (fixed power, inverter control);
Three reactive power control modes (fixed power, power factor, inverter control);
Each energy can be set or calculated as rated active power, rated reactive power and rated apparent power. The rated active power of PV power station can be calculated in real time according to the sensor data and weather data, the rated power of gensets can be calculated in real time according to the information of online units, the rated power of energy storage power station and mains supply can be set for direct use;
The controller is able to control the priority of energy use (mains supply, gensets, PV power station (including wind power station), energy storage power station). Each energy can be prioritized separately, and the smaller the priority value, the higher the priority;
The input port can be set to make them unavailable for mains supply, PV power station, gensets and energy storage power station. When the energy is unavailable, the energy will no longer provide energy and spinning reserve;
Two RS485 communication ports enable remote control, remote measuring, remote communication, remote adjustment via MODBUS protocol;
The RS485 port has a variety of built-in protocols which enable communication with inverters such as HUAWEI.

Typical Application:

Examples of Application Scenarios:

When the mains supply is unavailable and PV power is insufficient, the energy storage power station is used; if energy storage power station is insufficient, then the power generation is used; if PV power is sufficient, the storage energy is charged. The minimum load of the unit should be ensured when using power generation.
Setting Mode：Island Mode
Setting Priority：PV>Storage Energy>Gen
Energy storage power station starts (VF) and PV is closed, PV power is controlled to ensure that there is no reverse power of the energy storage power station.
When the power of energy storage power station and spinning reserve are insufficient, the genset starts (VF) and the energy storage power station turns to PQ mode.
When the capacity of energy storage power station is insufficient, the genset starts (VF) and the energy storage power station stops to exit power supply sequence.
When the energy storage power station exits the power supply sequence, if PV power is sufficient and charging for energy storage power station until meet the capacity requirements of charging, then enters power supply sequence and the energy storage power station starts (PQ).
When the power of energy storage power station and spinning reserve are sufficient, the genset stops and the energy storage power station turns to VF mode.

Introduction of the Core Functions of Multi Master Power Management Controller HMC6

Power Management Solution of HMC6 with HEP300 Electronic potentiometer

The system builds a real multi master station system through MSC communication network (CAN bus), and its power management function is realized by the calculation of all generator control units. In the system, a control unit is selected as the “instruction unit”, which is responsible for the calculation of the starting priority and other related power management functions of the genset. It can realize automatic synchronization and load distribution of up to 16 gensets. If one control unit fails, the power management calculation will be automatically transferred to the next available control unit.

This case is the renovation project of a domestic factory

1. Renovation Reasons
1) The eight gensets used other brands of parallel system, but they often failed to connect every time they needed to generate power in parallel. And after parallel connection, the load distribution is uneven, and the genset will stop due to overload.
2) After each mains power failure, genset shall be started manually. The operator on duty in the high-voltage distribution room turns on the switch, and the mains switch in the low-voltage distribution room does not lose voltage and trip. The operator on duty also needs to open the mains switch first and then close the generator switch. The process is cumbersome and not timely and safe.

2. Site Overview
The original emergency power of this factory is divided into two phases, with a total of eight gensets. The first phase is 500kW*4 gensets and the second phase is 800kW*4 gensets. Low-voltage distribution room is divided into five phases, each of which is powered by two mains transformers for two loads, for a total of 10 loads. The layout of the generator room and distribution room is shown in Figure 1.

Fig.1 Layout of the Generator Room and Distribution Room

3. Renovation Scheme
The renovation project is divided into two stages:
1) Parallel control of 8 gensets by HGM9510.
2) Transfer 10-way emergency power cabinet and 10-way mains power cabinet into grid-connected control power by HGM9560.
Considering the long distance from the generator room to the low-voltage distribution room, long-distance transmission of MSC communication will cause data loss or abnormal communication. Therefore, the SGCAN300 CANBUS relay module is selected to convert MSCCAN signals into optical fiber signals for long-distance transmission. Eight SGCAN300 modules are selected for this project.
