Island mode

Island mode operation is typically used in power plants that are isolated from the national (or local) electricity distribution network. There are two key types of island mode operation:
  • Stand-alone generators not connected to the electricity grid.
  • Generators connected to the electricity grid in parallel mode. This means that they can generate power independently and on demand.
Automatic mains failure (AMF) and fixed power

Automatic Mains Failure (AMF): If there is a significant loss of mains power or a total blackout, the controller automatically changes the supply to the emergency generator. This makes sure that there is power during a mains failure and prevents damage to electrical equipment.

Fixed power: When given a signal, the controller automatically starts the genset and synchronises to the mains. After the generator breaker closes, the controller ramps up the load to the set point level. When the stop command is given, the genset is de-loaded and stopped after the cooling down period.
Peak shaving, load take-over, and mains power export

  • Peak shaving: Power plant where the generator supplies the peak load demand and runs parallel to mains.
  • Load take-over: Plant mode where the load is moved from mains to generator, for example, during peak demand periods or periods with a risk of power outages.
  • Mains power export: Power plant with fixed kW set point (excluding increasing load).
