The following list is a selection of key standards that are applicable to diesel generators:
|
Documents |
Description |
|
ISO 8528 |
Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets |
|
IEEE-387 |
Standard Criteria for Diesel Generator Units as standby power supplies |
|
IEC 60034 |
Rotating Electrical Machines |
|
Energy Networks Association - G59 |
Recommendations for the Connection of Generating Plant to the Distribution Systems of Licensed Distribution Network Operators |
|
Energy Network Association - G83 |
Recommendations for the Connection of Type Tested Small-scale Embedded Generators (up to 16A per phase) in Parallel with Low-Voltage Distribution Systems |
Where paralleling with the grid there will also be local grid codes and standards (such as G59 and G83 above for the UK) that must be adhered to in order to satisfy the local network operator. These will relate primarily to the power quality and protection systems covering the generator and its impact on to the grid system.
The main emissions from generators are Nitrous oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, soot and Carbon monoxide, which should be checked for compliance with national and local regulations.
