PRIME RATED GENERATORS
PRIME RATED GENERATORS
(OP)
We are designing a temporary generator power plant for a small facility. The temporary generator plant will provide power to the facility until the local utility upgrades their infrastructure. Generators will be rated for prime rating.
Is there any guidelines or recommended practices available for sizing a power plant?
Thanks.

Between those extremes, use judgment and experience.
Or, surf the manufacturers sites for generator sizing software. (Caterpiller> Olympian, Marathon, F.G. Wilson. Cummins> Onan.)

Other issues:
Check if any permits are needed. You sure do if in the USA.
How would you manage fuel supply/storage?
