Load shedding and load taking systems are a requirement for systems such as cogen and diesel generators operating in parallel with the grid or consuming energy from the grid. For accurate load take-off and take-off automation,

 

    -Frequency tracking,

    - Determining the forces and load amount to be thrown,

    - The power generated by the cogeneration plant, the power drawn from the network, the forces drawn by the loads should be well known,

 

      The load must be discarded as much as the amount of power drawn at the moment the power fails. The load shedding system should be alive at the rate of change of the frequency of the cogeneration plant by frequency measurement at the island position after the load is thrown.

  

      Advantages of Load Discharge / Discharge Automation System

· Since all electrical structure of the facility is monitored by the automation system, all maneuvers and opening and closing operations to be performed automatically and manually shall be carried out safely.

· Provides life safety throughout the facility

· It is ensured that quality energy is obtained.

· The efficiency and cost of the cogeneration unit can be calculated.

· Energy production and consumption monitoring is provided.

· Loading and unloading is easy and non-invasive

· It is ensured that the cogeneration plant or D.generator is prevented from stopping due to overload,

· It is provided to extend the life of cogeneration power plants or D.generator,

· It is provided to reduce the production and economic losses caused by each stop of cogeneration plants,

· As the facility is continuously controlled by the automation system, operation and maintenance process becomes easier,

· Monitoring of the positions of all switches, disconnectors and breakers in the facility,

· All malfunction and alarm information that may occur in the facility are recorded,
