What is the fuel consumption of a 3 MW diesel power plant at maximum load?

Alexander asks:
TPP rated power 3MWat runs on diesel fuel. What is the monthly diesel fuel consumption during maximum operation during this period?

The answer to the question:
Hello! Is this a diesel power station obtained? Such data is always described in the technical documentation for the device. For example, a CTM M.1900 × 2 diesel power plant with a Mitsubishi S16R-PTA2 engine and a Stamford P7 E generator, the entire complex has a rated power of 3,000 kW, i.e. 3 MW. It has:

  • Specific fuel consumption 0.261 l / kW * h
  • Fuel consumption at 75% load 298 l / h

They are not operated at maximum power, the normal load - 75% has already been calculated, on average 720 hours in a month, which means 720h * 298l / hour = 214560L. You consider other loads by multiplying the specific fuel consumption by kW and multiply by 720.
