1. GE Energy EX2100e and EX2100 Excitation Controls Comparison The EX2100e Excitation system is GE Energy s advanced platform for generator excitation controls The EX2100e builds on the EX2100 experience of over 700 units in gas steam and hydro applications for new units and upgrades in addition to GE s 50 years of experience with over 6 000 excitation systems in 70 countries The EX2100e has enhanced technology including a new controller from the Mark Vle control line and the current ControlST software suite In addition the EX2100e offers a 35A brushless dual redundant regulator option for cost effective reliability Controllers Now excitation shares the same controller with Mark Vle application based turbine and plant controls These single board controllers offer flexible compact packaging and more computing power for advanced control features to enhance grid dynamics and generator performance In addition the stand alone controllers can be easily upgraded for better life cycle support of the equipment I O Interface The controllers communicate to the I O interface through a 100 MB Ethernet I O network that can be extended for remote I O modules The large inflexible I O cables of the EX2100 are eliminated Since there are less electronics in an EX2100e a smaller spare parts inventory is needed Similarly less active electronics increases the mean time between failure MTBF and improves system reliability Co2. ntrollers I O interface and the bridgels are mounted inside the EX2100e cabinet Only an optional touchscreen panel remains on the door for local control and display of generator parameters along with alarm history and alarm fault help Software The EX2100e uses the ToolboxST application for configuration and diagnostics and retains all attributes for high speed analysis of rotating machinery and the enhanced look and feel of plant level Distributed Control System software For example the ToolboxST application can analyze and configure I O modules controllers networks and operator stations for generator controls turbine controls and balance of plant controls to simplify maintenance Erie Excitation Control Overview Cilopo Trese Hae Mahan Gut o Dawes priate ar ia e o Gernerstor jid Grourd se i e Probisma hheriers i gee see F b CE 1 RF l ree Lecter Pad Ground Getector f E ol eee eee s I mik mn F lI roe Poe ea Pity Pa b F Gz Binti PI Ph CTET GimEnch VALAT APES Emblan Tasch ees co co a E 3 i J PA r Miimii di auelhuncieed mheasa e EE er phan ral Hamta aa aan e fee neee rer b eget Pediat urd eh e m F eer ge mE Tre Darg ol Pee tian usta Ps _ k o Deterence Aare See wal Farina Teta Sim bd Dagi Bata Aio bdpa Control MCC Wee j Afo mame inti Biga aor Posen pram Hebie Ganda WE Beare Poe WAB Pov
