nominal values. If this is not possible to achieve by turning the trim on AVRi and/or governor,
you can also slightly change the bias setpoints.
The governor and AVR must be adjusted properly to achieve these limits as the controller does
not perform any regulation and the regulation outputs have constant values given by AVRi Bias
and Speed Gov Bias setpoints.
This setpoint adjusts the initial PWM level for the AVR output, which is present on the output, if
no voltage or power factor regulation loop is active..
The voltage level on the AVR remote voltage input depends also on AVRi output wiring and
potentiometer position.
PI regulation adjustment
The exact adjustments of a PI loop always depend on the engine and generator characteristic. But
there is a general rule, which can be used in the beginning of adjustment process:
Prepare the system for adjustment. I.e. set limits for related alarms temporarily to values,
which will disable the alarms, set the sychro timeout to maximum value etc.
Adjust the gain to 5% and integration to 0%
Switch the gen-set to MAN mode, start it and put it to the operation phase, where the
appropriate regulation loop is active.
Increase the gain slightly until the controlled quantity starts to oscillate. Then put it back to
cca one half of the value, where the oscillations started.
Increase the integrative factor slightly to achieve acceptable response to changes. Too
small I-factor will cause too slow response, too high I-factor will cause overshooting or
even oscillations.
