Generators for power plant
(OP)
anyone know the pros and cons of using low voltage generators vs. medium voltage generators in a continuous operation [run 24/7] to serve as a power plant?
looking for which type has a better record of up time and less maintenance.
thanks.

I'd also consider the maintenance staff. Are they familiar with medium voltage equipment, advanced protection systems, etc. that medium voltage would require?
With low voltage you may have issues with excessive fault current if more than a few are on one bus.
You might consider LV generators with step-up GSUs and MV switchgear.

It's difficult Q.
We need more info. SLD, are genset will work as island or in co-generation with grid, how much genset's, etc..etc.
We had a lot of threads on the topic here, please search.

From my point of view, in such application: MV generators w/o GSU.
But ofcourse, we will see lot of additional opinions.
