DECS-450, Digital Excitation Control System

Benefits

• Reduce your setup time with Basler's intuitive BESTCOMSPlus® software that simplifies complex setup with simple drag-and-drop programmable logic, visual real-time strip chart capabilities, innovative auto PID selection capabilities, and configurable protection.
• The revolutionary auto tuning function automatically establishes optimum gain settings, taking the guesswork out of system setup, reducing commissioning time and cost while maximizing overall system performance.
• A wide variety of redundancy options increases system reliability.
• An available suite of limiters coordinates with protective functions to help maintain safe operating parameters and avoid system downtime.
• Avoid system damage by utilizing various protection functions integrated into the controller.
• Maximize excitation system performance with dual gain settings based on load conditions.
• Improve system reliability and stability by coordinating dual settings groups for limiters and protection to match generation system conditions.
• Prevents undesired overshoots using the soft-start feature to maintain generator voltage control during system startup.
• Time-synchronizing provisions facilitate event analysis with a common chronological reference to aid in coordination efforts when comparing oscillography files from other devices.
• Simplify system testing and commissioning with real-time monitoring and built-in test provisions.
• Entering settings with confidence is easy with BESTCOMSPlus®. Software provides intuitive settings with graphs, built-in error checking, and summary screens.
• The Offline Simulator in BESTlogic™Plus helps test and troubleshoot logic without the need for expensive hardware.
• Sequence of Events and Oscillography Recording provisions collect valuable system data triggered by disturbances for event analysis.
• Avoid costly generator damage and improve overall system stability with Basler Electric's integrated Power System Stabilizer (optional) that utilizes the "integral of accelerating power" to safely dampen local mode, inter-area and inter-unit power oscillations, white noise generator, and phase plot compensation.
• Basler's in-house engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, and test capabilities provide maximum control of processes and product design, resulting in the highest quality and maximum reliability while offering shorter lead times.
