Original Press Release:
New DECS-2100 Digital Excitation Control System
Basler Electric is pleased to introduce its latest Digital Excitation Control System, the DECS-2100. The DECS-2100 incorporates a new controller that is ideal for providing exceptional system response. The combination of its microprocessor-based platform, fiber-optic rectifier bridge firing control, and online maintenance-capable rectifier bridges (N+1 designs) offers the highest system performance possible while providing excitation currents up to 10,000 Adc on systems ranging from 1 to 1300 MW.
This new product is based upon Basler's design experiences and knowledge base in excitation control dating back to the early1970s, from Shunt Static Exciter technologies to more recent Digital Excitation Control Systems, including the DECS-400 and ECS2100, both proven global leaders in excitation control. These products have provided control to tens of thousands of GW in installed generation worldwide. The most effective way to react to system disturbances is to use a system that can be tailored to suit specific application needs. The DECS-2100 is the system that will allow you to accomplish this with more enhanced features in a more user-friendly environment.
The new Graphic User Interface Software, BESTCOMS(TM)Pro is an easy-to-use software tool for configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the DECS-2100 Digital Excitation Control System. It also is used to change settings for the various limiting and protection functions, download new system firmware, and retrieve diagnostic information. A USB port or an optional Ethernet port enables local communication between the Controller and a PC operating with the BESTCOMSPro software or with the IDP-1200 Interactive Display Panel featuring a. 12.1 inch color touch screen that can be mounted locally on the excitation cubicle, remotely in the control room, or at both locations.
The DECS-2100 is the next generation multi-microprocessor digital excitation control system that provides advanced technology to precisely control, protect, and monitor synchronous generators and motors for new and existing applications that are driven by all types of prime movers, such as steam, gas, hydro, and diesel.
