Abstract
The aim of this article is to explore key aspects for a long-lasting and rentable generator. Its motivation comes from the fact that when selecting turbo-generators sets investors and engineers pave much more attention to the turbines details, but generators end up been choice as commodities and as result the whole generation system suffers from availability issues and less return on their investments. This analyse meant to provide insights about key elements to be observed selecting the proper generator, listing aspects that leverage return on investment and reduce total cost of ownership. Technical and commercial equilibrium are assumptions taken as basis for the study and the fundamental question about what are the key elements of a generator specification tried to be answered.
Highlights
Introduction and MotivationAfter several years installing, selecting, repairing, specifying, and selling generators, author has noticed that most of turbo- generators specifications have hundreds of pages dedicated to pressure, temperature and combustible properties, aspects related to the turbine of a turbo – generator set, followed by few pages in the end that presents the requirements for the generator
This is the motivation behind this article; try to provide insights to investors and engineers about key elements to be observed in the generator side to be less aggressive to the environment, reliable long-lasting generator and, enhance return on investment
In one side as a market organization practice, the OEM with more expensive item become responsible to provide the system, as turbo-generators sets turbines price falls generally between 40 and 80% of the whole system, most likely the turbine OEM become the direct interface with EPC or the end-user, subcontracting the generator and packing it
Summary
After several years installing, selecting, repairing, specifying, and selling generators, author has noticed that most of turbo- generators specifications have hundreds of pages dedicated to pressure, temperature and combustible properties, aspects related to the turbine of a turbo – generator set, followed by few pages in the end that presents the requirements for the generator. Going back to those installations years later revel several generators present operational problems and efficiency deficits that thermoelectric directors and maintenance people have to leave with, or optionally, it will cost several folds more to revamp the system to what was easier doing during the acquisition stage. This is the motivation behind this article; try to provide insights to investors and engineers about key elements to be observed in the generator side to be less aggressive to the environment, reliable long-lasting generator and, enhance return on investment
