Gas Generating Sets procurement guide
Gas generating sets suit sites with a reliable gas or biogas supply and continuous load. Fuel composition and pressure are confirmed during specification. Electrical equipment must be selected as part of a system, using load, network, protection, environment and applicable project requirements.
System role and load
The stated applications are Continuous industrial power, Biogas and waste-to-energy projects, Combined heat and power installations and Gas-supplied commercial sites. Provide the system role, connected loads, duty, redundancy, future capacity and interfaces with existing equipment.
Ratings, compatibility and acceptance
Compare proposals against Required electrical output, Fuel type, composition and supply pressure, Duty profile and operating hours, Heat recovery requirements and Grid connection or island operation. Require source-specific drawings, datasheets, protection or coordination information and the test/standard evidence called for by the project.
Installation, protection and support
Confirm enclosure and environmental conditions, cable/termination interfaces, dimensions and weights, transport protection, site access, installation boundaries, testing, commissioning, training, warranty expectations and spare components.
Information to include in your quotation request
Send the single-line diagram or system description, load and duty, Required electrical output, Fuel type, composition and supply pressure, Duty profile and operating hours, Heat recovery requirements and Grid connection or island operation, quantity, site conditions, existing interfaces, destination, installation/testing scope and required project documents.
