(OP)
Hello,
I'd like to test 5000 kVA generator performace by connecting a load bank. Any one ever purchase it and testing a emergency diesel generator? How much budget I shall prepare for one load bank? Thank you.

At 2MVA IEC style LV sets start to get a bit silly for current, and I don't know that MV load banks would be easy to come by.

This is a 13.8kv 5MVA DG connected a with a MV bus of a newly built power plant.
Our goal is to exam the AVR performance, bearing lubricant system and cooling system during generator full or no load. Consecutively Starting generator at full load, voltage droop..etc.
Thank you.

But if that is not the case at your facility, why would you need need to purchase a load bank? Why not rent one if you need it for a week or similar to test governor and AVR reponse or so? Sounds that you may be a PM with no electrical background and if so perhaps getting some electrical help would be practical at this stage...

How about going back to your engine/generator supplier? Most larger suppliers have resources for testing, both short term and sales.
You might get better answers if you could provide where you are in the world.
