Project:
Proposed 1 x 300kVA generator sets
Generator set supplier:
En-Syst Equipment & Services Pte Ltd
(I) Given
a) Generator set rating : 240kW / 300kVA
b) Diesel engine : Volvo TAD1341GE
c) Alternator : Meccalte ECO 38-2L/4
(II) Assumption:
a) Density of diesel fuel = 0.84 kg/litres
or 840 g/litres
b) Formula g/kwh
= density of fuel x kWm
(III) Data extract from the engine data sheet and calculated values
a) Engine output rating in kWm (calculated data)
100% load = 240.00 kWm
b) Engine fuel consumption rate (input data)
100% load = 191 g/kwh
(IV) Fuel consumption rate in litres/hour (calculated data)
Formula g/kwh
= density of fuel x kWm
100% load = 191
840 x 240.00
= 54.57 litres / hour
(IV) Total Fuel Consumption for 1 x 300kVA Generator set
a) Generator Sets operate under 100% full load condition
Fuel consumption for 1 x 300kVA generator set per hour is = 54.57 Litres
Therefore 500 litres skidbase fuel tank can last for 9.1 hours which is more than the
6 hours as required by SS535.
