Calculate Generator Efficiency (Egen)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Generator Efficiency (Egen) is:

\[ Egen = \frac{O}{O + L} \times 100 \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the generator output (O) is 500 units and the generator losses (L) are 50 units. Using the formula:

\[ Egen = \frac{500}{500 + 50} \times 100 = 90.91 \]

So, the Generator Efficiency (Egen) is 90.91%.

Efficiency of a Generator

Definition: The efficiency of a generator is the ratio of the useful power output to the total power input.

Formula: \( \eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}} \times 100 \)

Example: \( \eta = \frac{4500}{5000} \times 100 \)

Diesel Generator Efficiency Formula

Definition: The efficiency of a diesel generator is calculated by comparing the energy output to the energy input from the fuel.

Formula: \( \eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{fuel}} \times 100 \)

Example: \( \eta = \frac{4000}{5000} \times 100 \)

Turbine Generator Efficiency Formula

Definition: The efficiency of a turbine generator is the ratio of the electrical power output to the mechanical power input.

Formula: \( \eta = \frac{P_{elec}}{P_{mech}} \times 100 \)

Example: \( \eta = \frac{3500}{4000} \times 100 \)

Gas Electric Generator Efficiency

Definition: The efficiency of a gas electric generator is the ratio of the electrical power output to the energy input from the gas fuel.

Formula: \( \eta = \frac{P_{elec}}{P_{gas}} \times 100 \)

Example: \( \eta = \frac{3000}{3500} \times 100 \)
