    Sizing of Generators: Abraham Jyothimon B.K Gulf

    Uploaded by

    Abraham Jyothimon
    This document discusses sizing generators and provides information on different types of generators. It begins by describing emergency standby rated, prime rated, and continuous rated generators. It then outlines the steps to calculate generator load, which includes segregating loads, checking effective load, overload capacity, step loading capacity, and transient voltage dip. The document also includes an example of building electrical loads and the outputs from a generator sizing program.

    SIZING OF

    GENERATORS

    B.K Gulf

    TYPE OF GENERATORS(ISO 8258)


    EMERGENCY STANDBY RATED
    24-hour average output to 70 percent of the nameplate ESP rating. No
    Overload capacity available .

    PRIME RATED
    A prime-rated generator set is available for an unlimited number of hours per year in a variable-load application, as
    long
    as the average load factor does not exceed 70 percent of the nameplate
    rating, unless the manufacturer allows a higher average load factor.
    This rating allows an overload capacity of 10 percent, but that additional
    capacity should not be used for more than one hour in every 12. The
    prime power rating for a given generator set is typically 10 percent lower
    than the standby rating.

    CONTINOUS RATED
    The continuous power rating is used for applications where there is no utility power and the generator set is relied upon
    for all power needs. The continuous power rating for a given generator set is typically 25-30 percent lower than the
    standby rating

    On the left quadrant, you can see that near-normal
    output (yellow area) can be achieved with some leading power factor load, in this case, down
    to about 0.97 power factor, leading. At that point, the ability to absorb additional kVAR
    quickly drops to near zero (red area), indicating that the AVR is turning off and any level of
    reverse kVAR greater than the level shown will cause the machine to lose control of voltage
