Cost Calculation - Generator Consumption

115 L/h seems awfully high for 80% of 30 kva.

The genset probably does not run at 80% all the time; you may need to determine what the load profile is over time. The genset data may give specific fuel consumption at various percentages of full load, so that you can sum up (integrate) the fuel usage. If not, a rough estimate would be fuel usage proportional to load.

Dear Guest,

It will be around 8 to 9 lts / hour @ full load. Your wording should be

(1) per Kwh and not by Kwh.(2) Generator -Consumption per Kwh.

If you want to calculate the cost per kwh -- (1) Find the Electrical Consumption - meters (2) Find the Diesel consumed & the cost of Diesel (3) Add 2% to the value for lub oil consumed (4) Add the operator cost (5) Find the Total

(5) / (1) will give your cost. At to-days cost one unit will cost anything between

Rs,15 to 17. for lower Capacity sets.

Dear,

I am in Saudi arabia, my negative place in kanyakumari. Our cost of diesel/L 0.25 riyal. Generator will work 75% to 80% load.

If you acn give more idea or formula send to me.

Take the value of the fuel delivered. Divide it by the time interval between deliveries. This gives an average money consumption rate.

Take the kWh generated and divide it into the same time interval. This gives an average generation rate.

Then divide the one by the other to give money per kWh generated.
