Capstone Turbine Corporation User’s Manual - CRMS-APS/C1000 Series Controller User Edition Turbine Group Configuration CRMS-APS operation involves monitoring groups of turbines that are controlled by an APS. At the highest level, turbines are grouped according to their operating mode. Group 1 is reserved for turbines that operate in Stand Alone mode, and groups 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are the Grid Connect groups. The ways in which these groups are selected and viewed for monitoring are described in the APS Command/Monitor Window and Detail Window paragraphs below. In an APS, there are two main groupings, or categories, which are Stand Alone Groups and Grid Connect Groups. The Stand Alone Groups category contains Group 1 only. The Grid Connect Groups category contains Group 2 through Group 6. In a C1000 series controller, the top level grouping is the system level. The system level is identified as C1000, C800, or C600, depending on model, and the system contains the six groups, identified as G1 through G6. This corresponds to the labels Group 1 through Group 6 in the APS. The same operating mode relationship exists with the C1000 series controller as with the APS. G1 is reserved for Stand Alone mode, and G2 through G6 are the Grid Connect groups. In a Dual Mode configuration the turbines operate in Grid Connect and Stand Alone modes. In Dual Mode, the same turbines are in the Stand Alone group and in the selected Grid Connect groups. Therefore, there is not a one-to-one relationship between an individual turbine and a group. The groups are a way to apply settings to turbines that govern how they will function in various applications within their operating mode. There are five groups available for Grid Connect mode because of the flexibility required for the range of power dispatch modes when connected to a utility grid. Program (Monitoring/Control) Mode The CRMS software (including CRMS-APS) operates in two different program modes: Monitoring mode and Control mode. In Monitoring mode, no control or parameter changes are allowed. In Control Mode, control is available to the extent allowed by the access level (refer to Access Levels on page 8). Select the desired program mode from the CRMS tool bar as shown in Figure 7. Monitoring Mode is displayed on the CRMS Tool Bar with a green background color. Control Mode is displayed in a similar manner, except with a red background color. Figure 7. Program Mode Display CRMS-APS always opens in Monitoring mode. Once set to Control mode, after a period of ten minutes of inactivity, the program switches from Control mode to Monitoring mode. When the system automatically switches from Control mode to Monitoring mode, it also clears the password. Therefore, to switch from Monitoring mode to Control mode always requires a password. If you switch from Monitoring mode to Control mode without first entering a password, the program prompts you to enter the password. Enter the user level or administration level password as described in Entering the Password on page 8. 400025 Rev.
