Basler Electric DECS-2100. Digital Excitation Control System

DECS-2100. Digital Excitation Control System

The DECS-2100 is an extremely powerful and flexible excitation system that precisely controls, protects, and monitors synchronous generators and motors.

Its multifunctional design allows it to operate in a wide range of applications that require excitation currents up to 10.000 Adc.

The BESTCOMS™Pro software program complements the DECS-2100 by embedding many time-saving tools such as programmable logic, integrated simulator,

system monitoring, commissioning, event viewing, system settings and configuration, and an extensive Help function into one program.

A wide variety of redundancy options increases system reliability.

An available suite of limiters coordinates with protective functions to help maintain safe operating parameters and avoid system downtime.

Various protection functions are integrated into the controller to avoid system damage.

Dual gain settings can maximize excitation system performance based on load conditions.

Improve system reliability and stability by coordinating dual settings groups for limiters and protection to match generation system conditions.

A soft start feature maintains generator voltage control during system startup to prevent undesired overshoots.

Time synchronizing provisions facilitate event analysis with a common chronological reference to aid in coordination efforts when comparing oscillography files from other devices.

Real-time monitoring and built-in test provisions simplify system testing and reduce commissioning time.

Entering settings with confidence is easy with BESTCOMS™Pro. Software provides intuitive settings with graphs, built-in error checking, and summary screens.

Power Drawers allow for simple online and offline maintenance of complete rectifier bridges that can reduce or eliminate exciter down time.

Sequence of Events and Oscillography Recording provisions collect valuable system data triggered by disturbances for event analysis.

Avoid costly generator damage and improve overall system stability with

Basler Electric’s integrated Power System Stabilizer (optional) that utilizes the “integral of accelerating power” to safely dampen local mode, inter-area and inter-unit power oscillations.

Basler’s in-house engineering, fabrication, manufacturing, and test capabilities provide maximum control of processes and product design, resulting in the highest quality and maximum reliability while offering shorter lead times.

Optional supervisory channel increases system security by avoiding inadvertent tripping with two-out-of-three controller comparison technique.
