PREFACE
GFS (General Functional Standard) publications reflect the views, at the time of publication, of Shell Global Solutions
International B.V. (Shell GSI) and, in some cases, of other Shell Companies. It is understood by Shell Company, any
company or other legal entity which, at the time in question, is being managed or operated by Royal Dutch Shell plc or a
company which at the time in question is directly or indirectly controlled by Royal Dutch Shell plc or a company being
provided services by Royal Dutch Shell plc under a construction, operation of technical services agreement on a cost
sharing basis.
These views are based on the experience acquired during involvement with the design, construction, operation and
maintenance of processing units and facilities. Where deemed appropriate GFSs are based on Shell DEPs, international,
and industry standards.
The objective is to set the standard for good design and engineering practice to be applied by Shell companies in oil and
gas production, oil refining, gas handling, gasification, chemical processing, or any other such facility, and thereby to help
achieve maximum technical and economic benefit from standardization.
The information set forth in these publications is provided to Shell companies for their consideration and decision to
implement. This is of particular importance where GFSs may not cover every requirement or diversity of condition at each
locality.
When Contractors or Manufacturers/Suppliers use GFSs, they shall be solely responsible for such use, including the
quality of their work and the attainment of the required designs and engineering standards. In particular, for those
requirements not specifically covered, the Principal will typically expect them to follow those design and engineering
practices that will achieve at least the same level of integrity as reflected in the GFSs. If in doubt, the Contractor or
Manufacturer/Supplier shall, without detracting from its own responsibility, consult the Principal.
The right to obtain and to use GFSs is restricted, and is typically granted by Shell GSI (and in some cases by other Shell
Companies) under a Service Agreement or a License Agreement. This right is granted primarily to Shell companies and
other companies receiving technical advice and services from Shell GSI or another Shell Company. Consequently, three
categories of users of GFSs can be distinguished:
1) Operating Units having a Service Agreement with Shell GSI or another Shell Company. The use of GFSs by these
Operating Units is subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the relevant Service Agreement.
2) Other parties who are authorised to use GFSs subject to appropriate contractual arrangements (whether as part of
a Service Agreement or otherwise).
3) Contractors/subcontractors and Manufacturers/Suppliers under a contract with users referred to under 1) or 2)
which requires that tenders for projects, materials supplied or - generally - work performed on behalf of the said
users comply with the relevant standards.
Subject to any particular terms and conditions as may be set forth in specific agreements with users, Shell GSI disclaims
any liability of whatsoever nature for any damage (including injury or death) suffered by any company or person
whomsoever as a result of or in connection with the use, application or implementation of any GFS, or any part thereof,
even if it is wholly or partly caused by negligence on the part of Shell GSI.
Without prejudice to any specific terms in respect of confidentiality under relevant contractual arrangements, GFSs shall
not, without the prior written consent of Shell GSI, be disclosed by users to any company or person whomsoever and the
GFSs shall be used exclusively for the purpose for which they have been provided to the user. They shall be returned after
use, including any copies which shall only be made by users with the express prior written consent of Shell GSI. The
copyright of GFSs vests in Shell Group of companies. Users shall arrange for GFSs to be held in safe custody and Shell
GSI may at any time require information satisfactory to them in order to ascertain how users implement this requirement.
All administrative queries should be directed to the Technical Standards Team in Shell GSI.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE
This GFS specifies requirements and provides recommendations for the design,
manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and testing of packaged unit emergency diesel
generator sets alternating current (AC), hereafter referred to as generator sets. Special
modes of operation (large non-linear loads, parallel operation and remote services) are
covered in this document. The generator set consists of a synchronous AC generator, a
diesel engine driving the generator, their control, protection and relay panels, auxiliary
equipment, a baseplate and an acoustic enclosure.
The intent of this GFS Specification is to specify requirements for generator sets that are
fully functional and self-contained with an air-cooled generator and a water-cooled engine
with conventional radiator (closed system). This specification for generator sets is globally
applicable.
Generators greater than 2000kW (2500HP) power ratings are considered to be for special
purpose applications. For these applications, the project team shall use this GFS together
with additional alternator requirements (to be included in the package requisition).
For generators less than 250kW (350HP), vendor standard product for petrochemical
applications should be considered by the Principal depending on criticality.
If the generator is used for both base load and emergency applications, the engine rating
shall be for continuous operation and the generator shall be suitable for 6 years
uninterrupted operation (routine maintenance excepted).
This GFS was developed with direct engagement and input from major global
manufacturers/ suppliers to use industry standards as the basis of design with needed
features to design and fabricate packages for both offshore and onshore facilities.
References to DEPs in this document are minimized. References to subsequent DEPs in
the referred DEPs can be ignored.
This GFS is classified as a TIER 1 document. See section (1.3) for definitions of
TIER 1/TIER 2.
All equipment and services are to be provided in accordance with this GFS which excludes
the supply of the following items which are outside of the package boundary:
a. civil engineering such as buildings, cable floors, trenches, foundations and protective
fences;
b. cabling between skids/packages;
c. outside cable tray systems, except as fitted within the package;
d. switchboards, including the generator circuit breaker, which are installed outside in
the electrical rooms.
The detailed scope of supply is given in section (2.5).
1.2 DISTRIBUTION, INTENDED USE AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Unless otherwise authorised by Shell, the distribution of this GFS is confined to Shell
companies and, where necessary, to Contractors nominated by them. Any authorised
access to a GFS does not for that reason constitute an authorisation to any documents,
data or information to which the GFS may refer.
This GFS is intended for use in oil refineries, gas plants, chemical plants, oil and gas
production facilities (both onshore and offshore) and supply/marketing installations. This
GFS may also be applied in other similar facilities.
When GFSs are applied, a Management of Change (MOC) process shall be implemented;
this is of particular importance when existing facilities are to be modified.

November 2016

If national and/or local regulations exist in which some of the requirements could be more
stringent than in this GFS, the Contractor shall determine by careful scrutiny which of the
requirements are the more stringent and, which combination of requirements will be
acceptable with regards to safety, environmental, economic and legal aspects. In all cases,
the Contractor shall inform the Principal of any deviation from the requirements of GFS
which is considered to be necessary in order to comply with national and/or local
regulations. The Principal may then negotiate with the Authorities concerned the objective
being to obtain agreement to follow this GFS as closely as possible.

14.2 PROJECT STANDARDS
1. The project and Engineering Contractor shall apply the standards as been specified
above and no project specific technical standards and/or specifications shall be
made on top of these.
It is recognized that the Engineering Contractor has its own procedures and
standards to manage a project, from that perspective it is allowed to develop a
limited number of project specific standards, specifications, procedures that are
required to manage and administer the project execution.
