Generator Set Test Systems

COMPTEK supplies computer based hardware and software engineering services and products for plant floor data acquisition & control applications. Our Generator Set Test Systems are specifically designed for production testing of electric power generation equipment. This includes generators, engine powered generator sets, electric vehicle and hybrid-electric vehicle power packages, wind and solar power units..

ComETS TEST SOFTWARE   - A version of Comptek Electronic Test Software (ComETS) is specifically designed for Generator Set Testing applications.  The system interfaces to various power analyzers, load banks and Generator Set Control Modules (GCM).   Manual or automatic operation.  A simple command language makes it easy for the user to set up test procedures.  Capability for testing to test specification limits and performing pass/fail analysis of data collected.  Test data can be transmitted to a plant host computer for archiving.

LOAD BANK CONTROL - A distributed I/O architecture allows remote control and monitoring of electrical load banks.  The  COMETS test program automatically calculates which load bank elements to activate to attain the specified resistive or reactive load.  COMETS also monitors the load bank for safety conditions.  Capable of eliminating bad load bank elements from the active load element list.

DISTRIBUTED MONITORING AND CONTROL  - Using a distributed data acquisition system allows monitoring and control from various test cell control points, such as the operator station, load bank control enclosure, genset control station.  The distributed control scheme requires minimal field wiring therefore saving installation labor and material costs. 

GENSET CONTROLLER MODULE - Comptek has extensive experience in interfacing computer controls with Generator Set Controllers and Engine Control Modules (ECM).  the communications interface can be either built into the ComETS test software or special applications can be developed for your specific requirements.
