Abstract
The demand for electrical power is rapidly increasing due to the rise of industries in developing countries. Power generation stations are having troubles to strike a balance between demand and generation. In this situation, it is urged that appropriate remedial action be taken. Rising power demand can be met by designing an efficient electric power generation system which will also help lowering the generation cost. It is shown that while high rated electric power generators are connected in parallel the value of neutral current is rising and the cooling temperature is also increased. Here, the goal of this experimental work is to present a new model for designing an efficient power production system for average-load (ranging up to 8000 Amp, 440 V) industries to minimize the demand on centralized interconnected grid. A scheme is proposed with four generators (2500 kVA, 2000 kVA, 2000 kVA and 1250 KVA) in parallel and enough cooling arrangement is provided with minimal cost. The coolant temperature is maintained 61 °C to 61.5 °C and at that time diesel temperature is not more than 38.5 °C. The amount of neutral-current is also optimized (up to 8.5 Amp.) which was more than 12 Amp. At the morning and afternoon, the neutral current is almost constant, but it is bit fluctuating between 7.5 Amp to 8.2 Amp at mid-day. The final outcome shows, the suggested system is efficiently stable with the change of load and generates optimal electricity.

Summary
The power system is the most complicated system in modern life, with direct implications for modernization, economics, politics, and social issues [1]. Electric power networks have a variety of obstacles, including less efficient, higher energy waste, high pollutants, and a significant risk of economic power abuse [2]. As the peak hours are only a minimum number of hours per day, substantial investments in generation, transmission, and distribution systems are required to meet peak demand, resulting in higher power generating and electric power supply costs [2]. Efficient power generation system can help industries by lowering the generation and transmission cost of electrical power which helps these industries to maximize their production capabilities. Designing such an efficient power system is the most important step in this direction. The demand, or the amount of power consumed in KW, is always taken into account in the design
