Diesel Generator
Diesel backup generator with engine state, electrical load response, fuel depletion, and fault health.
What it is
A standby diesel generator set. Covers engine start and run state, electrical output (voltage and frequency), fuel burn rate coupled to load, coolant thermal response, and starter-battery condition.
Used in
commercial-building— standby emergency gensetbackup-power— three gensets forming the data-center standby plant
What it tracks
| Member | Why it matters |
|---|---|
running | Engine operating state. |
frequency / voltage | Electrical output — 50/60 Hz regulation, voltage stability. |
load_actual | Fraction of rated kVA delivered. |
fuel_rate | Live burn rate — scales with load. |
fuel_level_percent | Tank level, derived from consumption. |
fuel_consumed_total | Cumulative fuel used. |
coolant_temperature | Thermal response to load. |
exhaust_temperature | Combustion and load indicator. |
battery_voltage | Starter battery condition. |
Fault modes
fuel_filter_clogged— fuel rate restriction, power droop under load.coolant_leak— rising coolant temperature, eventual shutdown.governor_fault— frequency drift and instability.starter_battery_weak— start failures, low battery voltage reading.
Key parameters
| Parameter | Default | Unit |
|---|---|---|
rated_power_kva | 500 | kVA |
rated_voltage_v | 480 | V |
rated_frequency_hz | 60 | Hz |
fuel_capacity_l | 1000 | L |
fuel_rate_full_load_lph | 100 | L/h |
coolant_capacity_l | 80 | L |
Use cases
- Backup power readiness testing — start sequence, transfer behaviour.
- Fuel-consumption modelling coupled to a bulk fuel tank.
- High-hour vs low-hour genset condition comparison.
- Tier III data center backup plant analytics.
