What is the formula of fuel consumption in diesel generator?

Here is the formula, Per hour consumption = Diesel consumed / Total DG run hours Diesel consumed = Previous closing balance - Actual closing balace Daily DG run hours = (Total DG run hours / (DG capacity*24 - Total DG run hours)) * 24 / (( Total DG run hours / ( DG capacity * 24 - Total DG run hours )) + 1 Regards, Shibin shibin.hesel@gmail.com


How do i synchronize three generators in parallel using controllers?

I assume you are asking about AC generators. The controller is wired up with suitable transducers and other control wiring to obtain required signals from the electrical bus. Three DG sets are feeding the common bus bar through isolating breakers. Conditions for a successful synchronization are equal voltage, equal frequency (Hertz) defined by the speed, same phase sequence. (say R Y B phases must match with R Y B of the incoming DG set) One DG is started with some load (at least 60 to 70 % of load) and the common bus is energized. The second DG to be brought in by closing the breaker either manually or automatically. Start the second DG. The controller reads the bus parameter and incoming DG parameter in real time and moment the incoming DG parameters match with running DG parameters, controller allows the incoming breaker to close. Both DG are now synchronized and load is shared. Same way put on third DG set and synchronize.


What is safety device of diesel generator?

Actually safety devices of generator depends on the type of prime mover used in generator. The main safety devices in a DG Set is to control the over speed, to limit the fuel supply in case of emergency. It is regulated by the governor of the DG Sets. In external safety, over voltage & over current tripping relay i.e. associated with DG Sets control panel.

What is the function of governor in a generator set?

The function of a governor in a generator set is to regulate the speed of the engine. It works by controlling the fuel flow to the engine, adjusting the throttle settings, and maintaining a constant speed regardless of the load demand. The governor ensures that the generator provides a consistent and stable output frequency and voltage.
