DIESEL ENGINE GENERATOR

ALTERNATIVE D

Factor of Elevation: 86.25%

Engine: CATERPILLAR 32E

Generator Efficiency: 97.99%

Engine Output: 4.725 MW

Maximum Demand: 35.09 MW

Corrected Engine Output: 4.725MW (0.8625) = 4.0753 MW

Generator Output: 4.0753MW (0.9799) = 3.9934MW

Required Capacity: 1.15(35.09) to 1.25(35.09) = 40.3535 to 43.8625 MW

Total Number of Engines: 43.8625/3.9934 = 10.98 = 11 Engines

Peak of Plant: 11 x 3.9934 = 43.9274

Reserve Capacity: 43.9274 – 35.09 = 8.8374 MW

Reserve Engines: 35.09/3.9934 = 8.78 = 9 Engines

11 – 9 = 2 ENGINES
