Generators

Diesel generators are the most common source of power for remote locations because they are reliable and relatively efficient compared to other internal combustion engines.

Some details on diesel generators, terminology, factors to consider, and recommended features.

The diesel generator sets for this sample project are sized for 30kw continuous/baseload, or 38kw prime power. The Control System will automatically start a second generator if the first generator reaches 80% of its capacity, synchronize and operate them in parallel. When the load drops below 70% of the single genset capacity it will automatically unload and cool down the second genset. If the running generator shuts down due to a fault the second generator will automatically start and carry the load; if possible (in the case of a critical warning, like high water temperature or low coolant) the load will be transferred automatically before shut down.

  • Engine — John Deere 4045D

The gensets can be built to order by Martin Machinery. Contact them for a quote and if you want to make changes from the standard design (generator size, engine size, model, features, etc.).
