Engine Fuel Consumption Calc

The document provides information on the fuel consumption and electrical output of a 500kVA diesel generator set at different loads. It shows that as the load on the generator decreases from 100% to 75% to 50%, the fuel consumption decreases from 101.36 liters/hour to 78.71 liters/hour to 54.26 liters/hour respectively. It also shows that the electrical power output and units generated per liter of fuel consumed slightly decreases as the load decreases. A cost analysis is also provided showing the operating cost per hour decreases from Rs. 5068 to Rs. 3935 to Rs. 2713 as the load decreases from 100% to 75% to 50%.
