Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An diesel or gas engine-generator unit comprises an internal combustion engine and an alternator, the output of which unit, in use, is adapted to supply electrical power to a site load. The unit is further provided with means to apply a further load ( 2 ) to the unit controllable by a switching arrangement ( 4,5 ), the unit further comprising a controller, which can be the genset controller, which is adapted to control the switching unit to apply the further load ( 2 ) before electrical power is supplied to the site load. This preloading of the generator enables significantly greater load steps to be applied to the genset. The preload can be a resistive, capacitive or inductive load and can also be applied in steps.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An internal combustion engine-generator unit comprising an internal combustion engine and an alternator, wherein the output of the internal combustion engine-generator unit, in use, is adapted to supply electrical power to a site load, the supply of electrical power being controllable by a switching arrangement, such that application of electrical power to the site load generates a current inrush that corresponds to a power surge commonly referred to as…
