The InteliGen 1000 is an advanced paralleling gen-set controller for complex power control applications. InteliGen 1000 represents a culmination in everything that ComAp has learnt about power generation control in the last 30 years.

Its developers had three key values in mind right from the beginning of its design: powerful hardware, communication possibilities with a great focus on cybersecurity, and flexibility. InteliGen 1000 is ready to be used either in a simple single gen-set application, right up to complex applications including grid connections, virtual power plants, demand response, or spot price dispatch.

20 times more powerful hardware

InteliGen 1000 is around 20 times more powerful than its predecessor - InteliGen NTC BaseBox - and is able to handle both critical and non-critical tasks at the same time. The controller can communicate with a large number of connected remote devices as well as up to 64 controllers at one site.

IT technology level of security

Apart from designing a powerful, flexible controller with all the latest communications options, ComAp’s main focus with the development of the InteliGen 1000 was security. The InteliGen 1000 brings to the power generation industry best practices from the information technology world. These include introducing a unique cyphering system for each connection session with the controller, extra authentication for users connecting from the outside, ComAp signed firmware, individual user account logins, data logging, and many others. All this to protect our customer’s facilities against external cyber-attacks and at the same time, let them enjoy the benefits of remote monitoring and connectivity.

Easy to set-up, yet flexible

InteliGen 1000 combines pre-programmed functions for gen-set control to make the controller running in few steps, but there is also an internal PLC interpreter that could be freely used by solution designers to meet their individual project requirements.

Key Features: 

• New CAN FD inter-controller communication standard enabling cooperation with up to 64 additional gen-sets/mains/tie controllers
• Keeping your business and data as safe as possible, meeting the ISA 62443 level 2 - level 3 security requirements
• Hot-swap redundancy enabling a redundant unit to take over in case the primary controller fails, helping to minimise solution downtime
• CAN bus redundancy ensuring that a redundant CAN line be created and take over in case of CAN failure
• Modbus Client which can initiate Modbus communication and control 3rd party devices
• Large built-in PLC interpreter with the use of ComAp's free PLC Editor
• Compatible load/VAr sharing and power management with other ComAp solutions
• Dynamic spinning reserve  helping to deliver maximum amount of available energy from photovoltaics
• Multi ECU (Electronic Control Unit) enabling communication with more independent J1939 devices such as Engine Control Unit, AVR modules, Breaker, etc. 
• Built-in CAN bus logger and event-based history for easy and fast troubleshooting
• User-defined protections and setpoints on top of default protection
• AirGate 2.0 for easy connection to your equipment remotely, without worrying about your asset’s IP address
• More precise measuring with a True Root Mean Square measurement feature
• Remote control and monitoring of your gen-set operations with WebSupervisor, our cloud-based fleet management tool
• Secure user management
• Droop regulation allowing load and Var sharing when the inter-controller’s communication is lost
• Peak shaving for limiting the import from the mains (e.g. due to higher prices)
• Load shedding ensuring the most important loads are running even when there is a lack of power
• Start-up synchronisation to minimise the paralleling start sequence time and get the gen-set system up and running with minimum possible delay
• Automatic Mains Failure that ensures automatic start of gen-sets and minimises downtime
• A wide range of plug & play displays with automatically generated content that can be easily edited in our free Screen Editor or InteliSCADA
