How do variables affect the sizing of a generator?

Analyzing the effect of voltage and frequency drops is indispensable for deciding which engines and alternators are more adequate for a generator.

Voltages are not a static phenomenon. They fluctuate resulting in peaks and drops during certain phases of the equipment’s functioning.

In fact, when we speak about circuits we distinguish between two types of situations:

  • The steady condition: It is the stationary situation of normal functioning in which the voltage ows in a balanced state according to the conditions determined by the network.
  • The transitional state: it occurs in certain periods of time in which the voltages and electrical intensities vary, before the circuit comes to its steady state and becomes stabilized.

The voltage variations occurring during these transitional periods are known as variables.

When do variables occur?

Logically, the normal situation in which variables occur is when we cause a circuit to pass from one condition to another, i.e. at the moment of connecting or disconnecting the equipment.

In fact, when we switch on and off a generator, short voltage peaks are triggered. Although they tend to end by themselves, we must not take them easily. Why is that? Because if the alternator and the engine happen not to be capable of coping with them, major functioning problems may ensue in the generator.

A matter of analysis

For this reason, in the process of designing and sizing a generator, it is indispensable to carry out a strict variable analysis.

Diesel and Gas Powered Generators: What is the difference?

Technical article. Gas VS Diesel

The two most common generator types on the market are diesel engine powered generators and those using gas powered engines.

Apart from the fuel powering them, they have other distinctive qualities which make them more or less adequate according to the use we want to give them.

Let’s see what they are.

 

Diesel generators

The reliability of a classic

For quite a long time, diesel engine generators have been a standard in the market. Their good reputation was the result of a great flexibility of application, both in industrial and household areas, as well as their robustness and reliability.

This type of generator may be used as a main power supply, as well as for co-generation or emergency applications. They are fully autonomous and may, therefore, function in places which have absolutely no power-supplying networks.

What advantages have made diesel generators so popular?

  • They are more easily disassembled and installed than gas units, making their installation wherever needed a simpler task, while also using a fuel which is easily accessible and more economical than gasoline.
  • They are robust and sustainable, capable of ensuring many hours of yearly operation.
  • Diesel fuel gives high efficiency to the equipment using it because it burns at a much higher temperature than gasoline.
  • Diesel fuel is also very safe because it is less flammable than other types of fuel.

The main disadvantage of this type of generator, as in the case of any machinery which includes a diesel engine, is that it causes high levels of polluting gas emissions. Therefore, the present day diesel generators incorporate an additional antiparticle filtration system that ensures its conformity with the legislation in force.

Natural gas powered generators

Clean and economical energy

Gas engine generators have gained much popularity due to their great reliability, cost efficiency and sustainability.

This type of generator can be used as a primary power source, in co-generation applications or as an emergency source and its engine may be fuelled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The latter is a gaseous fuel obtained from the distillation of oil.

Generators powered by LNG fuelled engines get their fuel from the natural gas distribution network, whereas LPG fuelled generators are connected to a tank which will have to be periodically refuelled.

What are the benefits of natural gas powered generators?

  • They are more respectful of the environment, because the gas causes less emission than other non-renewable fuels (such as coal, diesel or gasoline).
  • They are economical, because gas is the most affordable fuel, second only to coal (which is not an option due to its high emission level).
  • They are high-efficiency generators in co-generation applications.
  • When fuelled by an underground natural gas network, the fuel supply is not conditioned by inclement weather or problems with the communication infrastructure (which do condition diesel generators that need periodic refuelling).
  • They are highly compatible and easy-to-use units, given that it is possible to install them in remote locations, using high capacity tanks.
  • They are very quiet generators.

Among the disadvantages of this type of generator, one must consider the following:

  • Liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered generators are less autonomous than diesel engine ones because it is absolutely necessary to connect them to a distribution network.
  • In the case of LNG equipment connected to the network, one has to take into account that any catastrophe or natural disaster can affect the supply system.
  • Gas is an exceptionally flammable fuel and entails a bigger fire hazard than diesel.
  • The engine and control system are much more demanding, which can result in the product’s final price being higher.
  • They require a more punctual and complex maintenance.

Diesel vs Gas Generators: Which One Should You Choose?

Deciding between a diesel or gas-powered generator requires careful consideration of various factors. Each type has its own set of advantages and disadvantages that make them suitable for different applications and environments. Here are the key factors to consider:

1. Application and Usage

  • Primary Power Source: If you need a generator for continuous operation, such as in remote locations without a power grid, diesel generators are often preferred due to their robustness and fuel efficiency.
  • Emergency Backup: Both diesel and gas generators can serve as reliable backup power sources. However, gas generators, especially those connected to a natural gas line, can provide uninterrupted fuel supply during emergencies without the need for refueling.

2. Environmental Impact

  • Emissions: Gas generators produce fewer emissions compared to diesel generators, making them a more environmentally friendly option. This can be a critical factor if you are concerned about meeting stringent environmental regulations or minimizing your carbon footprint.
  • Noise Levels: Gas generators are generally quieter than diesel generators, which can be important in residential areas or locations where noise pollution is a concern.

3. Fuel Availability and Cost

  • Fuel Costs: Diesel fuel is typically more expensive than natural gas, but it provides higher energy efficiency, which can offset the cost over time.
  • Fuel Supply: Gas generators connected to a natural gas line have a continuous fuel supply, whereas diesel generators require regular refueling. However, in areas without natural gas infrastructure, diesel may be the more practical choice.

4. Maintenance and Longevity

  • Maintenance Requirements: Diesel generators are known for their durability and lower maintenance needs. Gas generators, while efficient, often require more frequent and complex maintenance due to the nature of the fuel and engine.
  • Lifespan: Diesel generators tend to have a longer operational lifespan, making them a more cost-effective option in the long run for high-demand applications.

5. Safety Considerations

  • Flammability: Natural gas is highly flammable, posing a greater fire hazard compared to diesel. Diesel fuel, being less volatile, is considered safer to store and handle.
  • Reliability: In situations where natural disasters might disrupt gas supply lines, diesel generators offer greater reliability as they can operate independently of external fuel supply networks.

Conclusion

Choosing the right generator depends on your specific needs and circumstances. At Genesal Energy, we understand that every project is unique. Our experts are here to help you assess your requirements and recommend the best solution tailored to your needs. Whether you prioritize environmental impact, fuel efficiency, or operational reliability, we provide comprehensive guidance to ensure you make an informed decision.

Dereating: how Temperature and Elevation Affect Generators

Testing a generator derating ambient temperature

In certain environmental conditions, generators can suffer power losses. Preventing these will allow us to ensure the maximum efficiency of our equipment.

All engines and alternators are capable of offering 100% capacity when they operate in standard or not so demanding environmental conditions, but when they must function in environments with high ambient temperature or at a high elevation above sea level, their capacities may be reduced.

The engine manufacturers, for instance, usually guarantee a certain performance provided that some values are not exceeded (generally a temperature of 25ºC and 1000 m above sea level). If these values are exceeded, the user has to bear in mind that, very likely, the engine will not perform at its top capacity.

This loss of power in function of temperature and elevation is known as derating, and is something which has to be very much taken into account when it comes to sizing a generator.

Generator dreating in conditions of altitude

Just as it happens to us human beings as we climb higher above sea level, the lack of oxygen and the low pressure affect the performance of the generator.

Elevation affects all kinds of engines, but this effect is more prevalent in atmospheric engines, which depend upon atmospheric pressure for the air to reach the cylinders adequately.  These losses of power may even occur at elevations below 1000 meters.

In the case of turbo engines, the turbine is capable of countering this air deficit. Therefore, generally, the power derating of this type of engines starts to occur at an elevation of 1000 meters above sea level and its effect is inferior to that affecting atmospheric engines.

The alternator also suffers at a higher elevation, given that with less air it tends to overheat. In general, the majority of manufacturers guarantee that the alternators will not lose power until reaching 1000 meters above sea level. At higher values, the average loss of power is generally of 3% for 500 m of elevation.

Generator performance at high temperatures

Generally, temperature affects generator engines starting at 40ºC. Above this ambient temperature: 

  • The air is already very hot and its quality is no longer optimal to generate good combustion when mixed with fuel. This generates loss of power.
  • The fuel may reach the engine at an excessive temperature, and combustion will not take place in adequate conditions. 
  • The efficiency of the cooling system will be diminished. As a result, if the radiator is not correctly sized, the generator can stop functioning due to an excessive water temperature. 

Generator derating ambient temperature

As far as the alternator is concerned, it is also affected by high temperatures. The majority of manufacturers guarantee the power of their alternators, as long as they operate at an ambient temperature of below 40°C. At higher values, the derating in an alternator is generally of 3% for each additional 5º C.

The importance of having foresight

Given all of the above, when sizing a generator, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the environmental conditions under which it will operate, i.e.: the inferior and superior limits of ambient temperature and barometric pressure in the setting-up location, as well as the elevation above sea level at which the equipment will be located. 

With this clear information provided, we, the engineers, shall be able to foresee and counter the effects of power derating, selecting the most adequate engines and alternators for each equipment.

If your project will be carried out in extraordinary environmental conditions, we at GENESAL ENERGY can advise you and size your generator in such a way that your ideas never lack power.

Genesal Energy consolidates its growth

The company expands its headquarters by 3,000 square meters in order to increase its production capacity.

Genesal consolida su crecimiento en 2019

Genesal Energy consolidates its growth in order to tackle a 2020 full of projects in Spain and in the demanding international market

The company continues its international expansion in strategic sectors and countries with personalized customer service as well as services like the Technical Assistance Service

Power plants, electric substations, DPCs, hospitals, airports, food and telecommunication sectors. Genesal Energy is present in all of these industries thanks to the versatility and high specialization of its equipment. With more than 25 years’ experience (this year the Galician company celebrates its anniversary) and with branch offices in Mexico and Peru, the company is closing 2019 with constant and controlled growth and with its mind on a new year full of projects. Because Genesal Energy’s objective is to continue growing internationally with a presence in new markets like the Asian giant Taiwan, but also nationally by increasing its production capacity with new installations adding up to 3,300 square meters at its central headquarters in Bergondo (province of A Coruña).

Here are some success stories and challenges for the future.

New rental product lines:

The search for new lines of business within an increasingly competitive market is one of Genesal’s commitments, and the rental line, with some excellent results at the end of the first year of its launch by the company is an excellent example. Reliability and robustness define these gensets destined for the rental market. Following the success of this product line and the official presentation in Mexico, where four generators were subsequently delivered, the company will continue its commitment to these rental products throughout the 2020 fiscal year. They are special products, custom made so as to make maintenance easier, and fitted with state of the art GPS systems for their immediate geolocation in case of theft.

Emergency energy for large health centers: Toledo Hospital (Spain) and Montero Hospital (Bolivia)

Electricity is vital in hospitals and its absence can have fatal consequences, which is why it is necessary to have state-of-the-art emergency generator systems. Among the projects carried out by Genesal in 2019, a special mention should be given to the supplying of four generators to the new hospital in Toledo which will open in the first semester of the year. They are four generators of 2250 and 2500 kVA which will function in parallel. Outside Spain, Genesal Energy offers a turnkey service to Montero Hospital (Bolivia): three 410-450 kVA generators, which are soundproof, one of them automatic, the other two in parallel with the air outlet on the upper side in order to fit in with the installation.

Gaining ground in the wind energy sector: from Los Llanos to Monte Cristi

This year Genesal has strengthened its presence in the field of renewable energy with a good number of wind farms in its portfolio. For example, in 2019, the company supplied emergency equipment for the substations in Oriche and Venta Vieja, in the province of Teruel, Montilla del Palancar (province of Cuenca) and in Serra das Penas (province of Lugo), and also for the wind farm in Los Llanos (province of Málaga), an installation for which we manufactured and delivered turnkey equipment. Internationally, we delivered a 100% personalized generator for the wind farm in Monte Cristi (Dominican Republic), whereas for the Agua Clara wind farm on the same Caribbean island, Genesal’s Engineering Department designed and manufactured a hurricane-proof generator for the whole park, which has 25 air generators, supplying power for 250,000 persons.

Biomass plants: the Viseu and Fundão stations

In Portugal there are two stations considered prime examples in the production of clean and renewable energy. They are the biomass plants located in Viseu and Fundão, repectively. Genesal installed special tailor-made equipment in both of these facilities.

More projects in Mexico: the combined-cycle power facility Topolobampo III

Genesal Energy’s strong presence in Mexico results in numerous projects, some of which are on a very large scale. Such is the case of the Topolobampo III combined-cycle power facility, whose founding in the municipality of Ahome was encouraged by the Mexican Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), and which will supply power to more than 2.5 million people. It will start operating in 2020 and the emergency power for it will be supplied by Genesal.

Tailor-made generators for the Saudi Embassy in Chad

The embassy of Saudi Arabia in Chad also uses emergency power from this Spanish brand. Concretely, the order consisted of three sets of tailor-made generators of two different powers: of 2 x 1.000/1.100 (ojo, en español, también está mal, sobra un 0) kVA, 2 x 1.500/1.650 kVA and 2 x 25-27 kVA respectively, supposed to work in parallel.

Bigger presence in Asia: entry into Taiwan

The growth witnessed in Southeast Asia over the last two years was strengthened in 2019 with the addition of a new market: Taiwan. Said country is one of the most powerful economies in the world and Genesal entered its market through several projects. In total, we have supplied the Government 13 generators. It’s our aim to continue to expand the market with new operations.

New year, new challenges

The good results obtained in the 2019 fiscal year, which has seen a constant growth, induces optimism once again. The company, after 25 years of presence in the energy sector, has now grown up and expanded its central installations in Bergondo (province of A Coruña) by 3000 square meters. The new space is meant to provide the necessary production capacity in order to tackle the new challenges by an orderly growth, given that Genesal Energy’s main aim is always the customer, who should never feel unsupported, the company states.

An example of this commitment to close attention and personalized projects -a hallmark of our company- is the boost received by the Technical Assistance Service (SAT) Department -now an indisputable benchmark in matters of remote management and multi-branding- a section which is closing the year with a steady growth and the modernization of its vehicle fleet, a process which takes into account the latest developments in ergonomics.

As far as the expansion plans are concerned, Genesal Energy will maintain its international vocation. In this regard, although Europe and Latin America are its main markets, the company pays very special attention to others, such as Qatar and Taiwan, as well as the African market, a real challenge for the energy sector.

Risks and Consequences of Using Generator Sets at a Low Load

Minimum load for generators

Generator sets are designed to work at their maximum power and their correct care and maintenance is, therefore, essential for them to function optimally. All the equipment must work at a minimum of 50% power load and their continued use at inferior percentages – that is to say at a low load – is counterproductive and may have serious consequences.

Main symptoms of something malfunctioning

One should be concerned when:

  1. The engine gives off oil mixed with fuel through the exhaust manifold – including the exhaust outlet or the muffler.
  2. There is oil spillage, dripping of oil of a very dark colour, as if burnt.
  3. The exhaust gives off a white smoke, more smoke than usual is seen or there is soot coming out of the exhaust outlet.
  4. The valves and tubing are clogged by dirt (presence of cinder).

Effects of low load running

“We saw engines working continuously for 24 hours at a tenth of their load and exhaust manifolds with six centimetre holes reduced to one centimetre by the accumulated cinder and oil”, Genesal Energy Technical Director Guillermo Docampo explains.

Negative effects of low load:

  1. Large accumulation of soot (cinder) in the pistons, in the grooves of the piston rings, in the valves and the turbocharger. If, subsequently, the engine functions at full load the pistons may be blocked by faulty lubrication.
  2. Low temperatures will result in insufficient combustion of the fuel, which, in turn, will cause the lubricating oil to be diluted and lose its properties because part of the fuel has mixed with the oil.
  3. Grinding of the cylinder liner. Excessive wear.
  4. The non-consumed fuel and the lubricating oil will also penetrate the exhaust manifold and will possibly exit through its seals, being very obvious -almost scandalous- because of its burnt aspect and by the stains it causes ((see photo below)).

Non-consumed fuel exiting through its seals

Why does low-load functioning in a repeated and continuous way cause an increase in oil consumption?

In reality, when an engine works at a low load, the ideal working temperature of the engine is not attained. This favours oil flow towards the upper part of the piston, because a correct adjustment within the piston-rings-cylinder assembly was not achieved. This is due to the lack of dilation resulting in an increased consumption of oil; the oil flows more easily between the valve guides and the stems due to a greater clearance because there was no sufficient warming.

The importance of the load profile and consumption of a generator set

Technical article: load profile and consumption of a generator

Knowing the type of loads that we must power is vital in order to correctly determine the power rating of a generator set.

The power that a generator set manages isn’t an absolute and static value. Its level tends to fluctuate according to certain factors and processes, and it does so differently in each type of unit.

For this reason, calculating the power a generator set needs to function is not a simple operation. Different variables must be taken into account which, if not considered, can cause serious issues in our installation.

For instance, an overload in any of the phases can cause overheating and voltage imbalances. This can cause damage both in the generator set and the equipment connected to it.

Start-up: the first step load

The generator set is going to be limited during its start-up by what is called the first step load, that is: the total transient load that the genset is initially capable of enduring until reaching its stable regime with some transient variations in voltage and frequency.

This is why it’s important to verify the characteristics in the nameplates of the equipment connected to the generator set, and to be aware of the possible transient effects which they may suffer during its start-up processes

Certain equipment such as pumps or motors with variable drives, for instance, may increase their current temporarily during commissioning. 

Likewise, elements such as UPS’s (uninterruptable power supplies) can cause harmonic distortions which must be contemplated in our calculations.

Which parameters affect the dimensioning of loads? 

  1. The first parameter to contemplate is the type of load. As we’ve pointed out, some units experience transient increases in current during start-up. With this in mind, we’ll pay special attention to the following loads:
  • Uninterruptable power supplies (UPS). The alternator’s rated power is oversized depending on the installation.  
  • Big motor loads. They can increase starting power to up to 6 times the power, depending on the type of start-up.  
  • Lighting loads (with special attention to sodium vapour lighting and metal halides). 
  • Systems with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). These can cause an oversizing from 40 to 100%. 
  • Other loads which are especially sensitive to transients and voltage and frequency variations. 
  1. Another factor we must keep in mind is the type of start-up of the motor in question. This is due to the fact that each type of starter requires a specific starting current, which must be higher than the unit’s rated current. Thus, we find that:
  • Electric motors with star-delta starting: its “starting current” will be equal to three times the rated or operating current. 
  • Direct starting motors: demand 6 times nominal current. 
  • Starter motors with variable frequency drives: special attention must be payed to its technical sheet as normally the ramp and increase in speed is configurable. 

Other important aspects to consider for genset load calculation

To finish carrying out this entire calculation of power with maximum precision, other variables must be kept in mind such as: 

  • Power factor during start-up.
  • Starter power.
  • Rated power factor.
  • Rated power
  • Efficiency
  • Number of start-ups

Ultimately, we must be extremely rigorous in this calculation. To avoid any surprises, it’s vital to know the type of load we’re dealing with as well as its behaviour. All, with the objective of the generator set always powering a balanced load, without generating unexpected peaks.

10 Benefits of having a power generator set

Technical article. 10 benefits and advantages of generators

In a world increasingly dependent upon energy, technology and data, it is a priority to have a reliable and sustainable supply of electricity. This is precisely what generator sets offer us.

The importance of generators

The importance of generators lies in their ability to provide continuous power during outages and support critical infrastructure. In times of natural disasters or unexpected power failures, generators ensure that hospitals, data centers, and emergency services remain operational, safeguarding lives and essential data. Moreover, they enable businesses to maintain productivity and prevent financial losses, highlighting their crucial role in modern society.

However, the virtues of these devices go beyond what meets the eye and it is worth knowing them. We compiled a list of 10 fundamental benefits so that none of them is left out:

What are the main advantatges of having a generator set?

1. Uninterrupted Power: The Importance of Ensuring Continuity

Electricity supply no matter what. Generator sets are meant for you to always have electricity whatever happens. This means that problems with the electrical network will no longer be critical for you, given that you will be constantly backed up by an autonomous generation solution which is 100% effective.

2. Say Goodbye to Downtime: Boosting Productivity

Farewell to losses: relying on the backup of a generator set in your business allows you to forget about time and productivity losses supposed by power blackouts.

3. Empowering Autonomy: Expanding Possibilities

More autonomy, more possibilities: when using an energy distribution solution such as a genset you are no longer dependent on the limitations imposed by the infrastructure of the electrical network. This means more peace of mind and, most of all, more freedom when it comes to conceiving your business projects and letting them fly.

4. Mobile Power Solutions: Enhancing Flexibility

It allows you more mobility: generator sets allow you to have a power supply in areas lacking an electrical network. Therefore, they eliminate obstacles when it comes to carrying out projects and they contribute to the development of remote or disadvantaged areas.

5. Tailored to Your Needs: Customized Designs

Your project is in charge: at present, the design of gensets is tailored to the clients’ needs and the features of their projects. According to your requirements, you will be able to choose: between engines using different fuels, between stationary or mobile generators, between hybrid and marine generators, as well as between different profiles of power delivery and of use.

6. Adding an Extra Layer of Protection: Ensuring Security

An additional security layer: the consequences of a power outage go beyond the mere issue of productivity. A sudden “blackout” can cause severe damage to our devices and machinery and this is something that can be avoided if we have the backup provided by an emergency genset.

7. Sustainable Energy: Reducing Environmental Impact

It contributes to sustainability: as opposed to the great impact left by the emissions produced by thermal power stations, generator sets offer a model of energy production which increasingly allows one to leave the least possible environmental footprint. The present-day trend is represented by generators using fuels with low CO2 emissions, like natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Moreover, these are low noise devices, producing no sound pollution.

8. Long-Term Value: Making a Sound Investment

It is an investment which pays off: A generator set will give you an extremely valuable service and will continue to do so for a long time. Most certainly, with appropriate use and maintenance, you will have a safe, long-term investment.

9. Streamlined Energy Production: Enhancing Efficiency

More efficient energy production: statistics show that electricity losses in the Spanish network of transport and distribution amount to 8% of all available production. Using distribution solutions such as gensets, one manages to reduce such losses. Moreover, we contribute to avoiding overloads in the network during the peak hours.

10. Cutting Costs: Maximizing Savings

You save in consumption: gensets allow you to reduce costs, by helping you manage the electricity demand in a more economical way. For example, you can use them as a backup during peak hours, in order to avoid excessive consumption. According to calculations, you can save up to 40% in this time slot.

 

In short, a generator set brings you peace of mind, opens up a large spectrum of business opportunities and all this in an effective and sustainable way.
