GCP-30 Series - Genset Control
2 days, $780 per person
Learn about the Woodward GCP-30. This class will begin with an introduction to the basics of power management. The class will cover the control, protection, monitoring, and communication features of the GCP-30 Series. Applications will be discussed. Class members will learn to apply, install, program and adjust the GCP-30 Series of generator control packages and gain hands-on experience in programming the control.
DESCRIPTION This class will give you the opportunity to learn more about the basics of power management using the GCP-30. During the course you will learn about the theory, installation, programming, operation and maintenance of the GCP-30 with the help of various models, simulators and engines. The hands-on part of the training will include time for programming, adjustments and troubleshooting techniques on the GCP-30.
CLASS OBJECTIVES
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate a strong foundation on power generation theory pertaining to the GCP-30.
- Field calibrate and adjust the GCP-30.
- Demonstrate an understanding of power management issues such as; soft loading and unloading, base loading, peak shaving, import/export control, and power transfer.
- Describe the concepts of isochronous load sharing, baseload, process control, import / export control, VAR/Power Factor control and droop.
- Demonstrate an understanding of methods of synchronizing, and paralleling of electrical generators.
CLASS OUTLINE
A. Concepts of Basic Load Control Theory
- A review covering basic power generation, Load Control Modes, and paralleling generators.
B. GCP-30 Control Systems
- GCP-30 features, control modes and applications.
- Input & Outputs (I/O) of the GCP-30.
