Generator synchronization

In summary, the project study involves synchronizing the generator system of a hospital which currently has a 313KVA standby-power diesel gen and three 100kva transformers. The system is operated manually without any ATS or UPS. With the construction of a new building, the transformers will need to be upgraded to a higher value. The main challenge of the project is to connect the new generator to the old one and the synchronize panel. This involves ensuring equal voltages, in-phase generators, same frequency output, and matching phase sequences. The rating of the new generator will depend on the load in the building.

i am BSEE student, my project study is to synchronize the generator of an hospital, it have a one 313KVA standby-power diesel gen.,and three 100kva transformer.The generator system is operated manually and no ATS or UPS. one more new building is being build so the transformer will be upgrade to a higher vale.
1)how i can connect the new gen. to the old gen. and to the synchronize panel?
2)what is the new gen. to be buy?(rating, etc.)

These is my title: To synchronize the generator system of the ____ Hospital.
Anyone have a good title?
Thanks.

Hello,
its a good and challenging project, first of all the synchronization of 2 generators consist of 4 parts:
1- the voltages should be equal in all phases in the 2 generators
2- the 2 generators should be in phase
3- the output of the 2 generators should have same frequency
4- the sequence of different generator phases in the two generators should be the same (meaning if the sequence of phases in generator 1 is :a-b-c, then the sequence of phases in generator 2 should also be:a,b,c)
So you have to make a circuit that do the 4 steps of synchronization.
with respect to the rating of the generator, it depends on the load you have in the building.
 

1. What is generator synchronization?

Generator synchronization is the process of connecting multiple generators to a power system in such a way that they operate in parallel and share the load. This allows for a more reliable and efficient power supply.

2. Why is generator synchronization important?

Synchronization is important because it ensures that generators are operating at the same frequency and voltage as the rest of the power system. This prevents damage to equipment and ensures a stable power supply.

3. How is generator synchronization achieved?

Generator synchronization is achieved by using specialized equipment, such as synchronizers and load-sharing controls, to monitor and adjust the frequency and voltage of each generator. These devices allow for precise synchronization and load sharing between generators.

4. What are the benefits of generator synchronization?

The benefits of generator synchronization include increased efficiency, improved reliability, and the ability to share the load between multiple generators. This can also help to reduce costs and provide backup power in case of a failure in one generator.

5. Are there any risks associated with generator synchronization?

There are potential risks associated with generator synchronization, such as electrical faults and mechanical stress on the generators. However, these risks can be mitigated through proper training, equipment maintenance, and following safety protocols.
