The commonly used generator sets have a long continuous working time and a large variation in load curve. The selection of unit capacity, number, and type, as well as the control method of the unit, are different from those of emergency units. (1) Capacity determination: The selection should be based on the long-term continuous operation output power of the unit that can meet the maximum calculated load of the entire project, and the standby capacity of the generator set should be determined according to the importance of the load. The continuous output power of a diesel engine is generally 0.9 times the calibrated power. (2) Determination of quantity: Generally, it is set to 2 or more units to ensure the continuity of power supply and adapt to changes in the electricity load curve. Only with a large number of units can the number of generators to be put into operation be determined based on changes in electricity load, so that diesel engines often operate under economic loads to reduce fuel consumption and lower power generation costs. The optimal economic operating state of a diesel engine is between 75% and 90% of its rated power. To ensure the continuity of power supply, the commonly used units themselves should consider setting up backup units. (3) Determination of speed: Generally, high-speed units with a speed of 1000-1500 revolutions per minute are recommended for civilian use, while low-speed units with a speed of 300-350 revolutions per minute are suitable for use as marine engines. (4) Voltage determination: The determination of the output voltage of the generator is the same as that of the emergency generator set, generally 400V. For some projects with high electricity consumption and long transmission distances, high-voltage generator sets can be used.
