FOTO CONTROL 3f
This is an extension of the original FUEL SAVE system from 2015. Both FUEL SAVE systems (containers) are interconnected to the main circuit breaker to connect the PV input in the substation. The communication is done by the communication link between control cabinets (DT1, DT2) in both containers. COMAP InteliGen NT control systems for the control of diesel generators in the substation are interconnected on the communication bus to the InternetBridge-NT communication module, which is connected to the control system in the DT1 switchgear over Ethernet. Through the InternetBridge-NT module, it is possible to visualize the parameters of each connected GENSET and to set them remotely.
