Interesting approach.
To clarify: You are suggesting using two generators. a smaller generator (6 – 8kw light tower) during low peak times and as a battery charger and block heater (if needed) for a larger unit. This will offer great efficiencies at low load. Then when high load demand is...
Thank you, Bill for the reply.
I am looking for answers across the board.
Efficiency in this scenario equates to reduced Life cycle costs across the spectrum of energy, time (man power, downtime, etc), and money.
The units are 15 - 30kw, in mobile off grid application which requires them...
Goal - to increase fuel efficiency in smaller generators ranging from 15 - 35kw through Condition Based Maintenance.
Are there COTS rugged sensor kits (kit of sensors)available for monitoring the efficiencies and provide prognostic health of small diesel generators. (15 - 35 KW)
Or what types...
