    Diesel generators provide emergency backup power when utility power fails. They convert the chemical energy in diesel fuel into mechanical energy via an engine and then into electrical energy using an alternator. Key components include the engine, alternator, starting battery, and control panel. Generators range in size from 8-30 kW for small facilities up to 2,000 kW for large industrial sites. Proper maintenance like regular testing and filter changes is needed to ensure generators function reliably in an outage.

    When a power outage occurs, there will be a disturbance in communication

    systems, emergency lighting, smoke exhaust fans, fire fighting water pumping stations,

    security, other critical electrical systems and equipment’s, which should be in running

    condition.

    To solve such problems common solution is ‘the installation of Diesel Generator Sets.
    D I E S E L G E N E R AT O
    R

    A Diesel generator (DG) (also known as a Diesel Genset) is the combination of


    a Diesel engine with an electric generator (an alternator) to generate electrical
    energy. A Diesel compression-ignition engine is usually designed to run
    on diesel fuel.

    Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to a power grid,
    or as an emergency power supply if main source fails.

    Diesel generator set sizes range from 8 to 30 kW (also 8 to 30 kVA single


    phase) for homes, small shops, and offices, with the larger industrial
    generators from 8 kW (11 kVA) up to 2,000 kW (2,500 kVA three phase) used
    for office complexes, factories, and other industrial facilities.

    Main components of a generator set are :


    •Engine
    •Alternator
    •Starting battery and charger.
    •Lubrication system.
    •Cooling and exhaust systems, including the radiator.
    •Fuel system.
    •Voltage regulator
    •Exhaust piping and silencer.
    •Control and monitoring panel.

     Diesel generators convert some of the chemical energy, contained by the diesel
    fuel, to mechanical energy through combustion. This mechanical energy then
    rotates a crank to produce electricity. Electric charges are induced in the wire by
    moving it through a magnetic field

    Engine-

     The engine is an internal combustion machine, four stroke cycle and usually
    diesel fueled.

     The power of the engine must be suitable for the rated power of
    the alternator.

     The engine must have electrical start-up, time shall not be higher than 10 sec.

     Engine cooling done by circulation of air or water, in a close circuit with


    a radiator. To improve engine start-up, it must be with an oil.

    Alternator

     The alternator is of synchronous type, single or three-phase, self excited, regulated and
    ventilated.
     Rated voltage: 230 V (single-phase alternators); 400/230 V (three-phase
    alternators).
     Rated frequency: 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
     Rated power (depending on the operation )
     Power factor: usually 0.8.
     Insulating class: usually H.
     Insulating class of alternators are designed considering the maximum
    temperature that the windings can withstand, since temperature is
    often main factor that contributes for insulating material ageing.

     The starting battery is lead-acid type and connected to a battery


    charger that will assure
    the maintenance charge of the battery and is normally installed in

    •Metering equipment (ammeters; voltmeters; frequency meter).

    •Control and monitoring equipment: start and stop push-buttons; oil manifold;

    water thermometer.

    •Control switch with 3 positions: Automatic/Manual/off.

    •Start and stop generator set automatic system.

    •Circuit breaker for alternator protection.

    •Monitoring lamps.

    •Emergency shutdown system of the engine.

    Generator sets play a critical role in safety of people and goods of certain electrical installations and
    for that reason, it is important to establish an accurate maintenance program that must include:

    •Run monthly, or twice a month, with load for a period of an hour (to assure that it will run when

    necessary).
    •Healthiness of ‘Auto start up ‘ of the system to be ensured.
    •Visual inspection.
    •Verification of earthing connection of neutral and all metallic parts.
    •Verification of oil level and
    •Battery status (visual inspection; voltage measurement of the elements; situation of the electrolyte).
    M A I N TA I N A N
    CE

     Generator set start-up shall be automatic, when there is an undervoltage or a negative sequence

    voltage in the power supply network and it is done through an automatism system installed in

    the generator set control and monitoring panel. This automatism system will provide also

    the disconnection and the stop of the generator set when the network voltage returns to normal.

    DG A Check this check is preventive maintenance of DG sets(1000-1500KVA).

    1) A-check is done on daily basis:


    a) Oil level.
    b) Coolant level.
    c) Gauge valve level.
    d) Check for any leakage.
    e) Cleanliness of DG set.
    2) B-check (done after 300hrs of cycle or 6 months whichever is earlier. )
    a) Check lube oil filter .
    b) Fuel filter.
    c) Air filter.
    d) Bypass filter.
    3) C-check (done after 1500hrs of cycle or 01 yrs whichever is earlier.)
    a) All steps of B-check.
    b) Check/change of air filter (if needed).
    c) Check/change of other filters mentioned in b-check.
    d) Change of gasket of chambers.
    4) D-check - Done in 6000 hrs of cycle.

     DG Efficiency. “The generator efficiency is calculated by units generated/diesel consumed”.
