Gen demand control menu bar (1) Gen demand control buttonThe "Gen Demand Control" screen enables the operator to view and adjust the configuration of "Gen Demand". The "Gen Demand Control" screen enables the operator to turn "Gen Demand" on or off."Generator Demand" is executed during emergency mode, and serves to remove generators from operation when load demands do not require all generators. Each generator is assigned a priority level, and the generators are added or removed according to the priority level. Higher levels are removed first and added last.

Once all priorities are set, pressing the "SAVE" button assigns the priorities. The actual field will reflect the priority that the system assigns each generator. Because each priority level should be unique within the system, so that only one generator is removed at a time. Any repeated levels will automatically be sorted by the system, and the actual field will reflect the sorted value. If a generator is unavailable, the actual field will reflect a level of 0. If the "Gen Demand Control" switch (3) is ON, "Generator Demand" will be enabled in emergency mode following a "Load Stabilization Time Delay" .Gen Demand Settings
The "Gen Demand Settings" screen is accessed directly from the "Main Menu".

If the system capacity falls below this amount, the next available generator is added to the bus.Remove differential (5) - The difference between the online reserve, and the remove setpoint. If the system capacity rises below the sum of the online reserve, and the remove differential and the capacity of the next level generator. The next level generator is removed.Immediate Add Reserve (6) - If system capacity falls below this amount, the next available generator is added to the bus, bypassing the normal add delay.Add Delay (7) - The delay in seconds before a generator is added to the busRemove Delay (8) - The delay in minutes before a generator is removed from the bus.Load Stabilize Delay (9) - Upon entering emergency mode, the delay in minutes to allow loads to stabilize for executing generator demand.Min Number of On Line Gens (10) - Minimum number of generators to keep on the bus, regardless of system capacity.
