A generator system is a logical system configuration that is used for reporting power capacity.

To define a generator system:

  2. Click anywhere in the editor area. The Properties screen appears.

  3. Complete the details for the generator system:
    1. Generator System Name: Enter a name for the generator system. Each generator system must have a unique name.
    2. Description: (Optional) Enter a description for the generator system.
    3. Redundancy Type: Select the redundancy type for the generator system. The different redundancy types are explained in Generator system redundancy types.
    4. Groups: Shows the number of generator groups contained in the generator system. Click Add to add groups to the generator system. Click Remove to delete groups.
    5. Generators Per Group: Shows the number of generators in each generator group in the system. Click Add to add generators to the group. Click Remove to delete generators.

      NOTE: This property is only available when the system redundancy type is 2N, 2(N+1) or 2(N+2). To define the number of generators for a system with redundancy type N, N+1 or N+2, use the generator group properties. See Defining generator groups for more information.

  4. Click Done to save the generator system.
