GCP-30

Woodward’s Genset Control For Multiple/Parallel Operation Provides Reliability

 
Woodward’s GCP-30 Series genset controllers are designed to provide total control for multiple, medium- to large-sized applications. A network of the compact, versatile GCP-30 controls is capable of controlling up to 14 gensets with automatic sequencing. Load management features include automatic base loading/peak shaving, import/export control, and emergency power/back up power generation. The GCP-30 Series is well known in the market for highly reliable soft- and hardware.
Features include:

• True RMS voltage and current sensing for Generator, Bus, and Mains
• Complete engine/generator protection, plus mains monitoring
• Relay manager for programming relay outputs according to selectable discrete and analog conditions
• Load share 14 gensets in island mode or paralleled to the utility
• Different load or process dependent start/stop sequencing modes with active and reactive power load sharing
• Communication to engine ECU’s (CAT, MDEC, J1939 based protocols), PLC’s, external I/O extension cards
• Connection to Woodward LS4 to run multiple breaker applications
• Configurable discrete Inputs and Relay Outputs
