Case Study Emergency / Standby Diesel Generation Designing the Right System, 2000 Process Control, Electrical & Info. Conference Proceedings
Mark E. Johnson
The design of an emergency/ standby diesel generation system is a process that involves many factors and decisions in order to construct the system that best fits a facility’s needs. Monetary incentives offered by electric utilities make onsite generation more attractive and can create challenges to design the appropriate system. This paper will discuss the steps taken in designing an emergency/standby diesel generation system for a large, hi-tech company in the southeast that required substantial standby capacity for critical loads.
