In systems where the power sources include batteries, UPS, and emergency generators, a system is needed that can control and manage all these power sources and optimize energy consumption. In the GCM system, which includes a control board, data on the main power supply, batteries, and generators are collected. Based on this information and the defined and configured control algorithm, commands for turning the generator on and off are issued in three ways:

  • Generator control based on the battery voltage level set by the user
  • Generator control based on the AC voltage of the main power supply set by the user
  • Generator control based on a time interval set by the user

Basic Features

  • Operation in both automatic and manual modes

  • Measurement of essential generator parameters (output voltage, oil pressure sensor, alternator output, temperature sensor)

  • Measurement of essential battery parameters during charging (voltage and charging current)

  • Measurement of battery charging current via shunt on the negative battery terminal or Hall effect sensor in the charging current path

  • Measurement of main power supply voltage in either three-phase or single-phase

  • Measurement of main power supply frequency in single-phase

  • Measurement of AC current of the main power supply and generator output using Hall effect sensor or CT current transformer

  • Control of gasoline and diesel generators (configurable generator type and cutoff mode by the user in the hardware program)

  • Two adjustable methods for generator shutdown: short-circuiting the spark plug in gasoline engines and closing the fuel valve in diesel engines

  • Heater output for diesel generators before issuing the start command

  • -Protection of voltage inputs against over-voltage

  • Measurement of generator fuel tank level in discrete three levels

  • Adjustable start command time for the generator from zero to 10 seconds
