White Paper: Considerations when Paralleling Generator Sets

It has long been recognized that paralleling of generator sets can be a valuable tool in the drive to improve power system reliability in critical installations. Use of multiple generator sets capable of serving a common load is often considered to be more reliable than single level backup and support systems. So, for applications that depend on power for life safety, and applications that depend on power to assure the financial viability of a business, paralleling is often considered to increase the probability that critical loads are served. This white paper discusses various methods of generator set synchronization, paralleling and load sharing functionality and their relevance to critical protection.
