INCREASING THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE OF THE EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR STATION

The thesis materials provide information on ways to improve the functionality of an emergency diesel generator station in an administrative and educational institution where no production activities are carried out and there are high requirements for noise and gas pollution. An emergency diesel generator must be in constant readiness to provide energy in the event of a power outage. The authors consider a diesel generator set as an internally balanced closed system that converts fuel energy into electric current and associated heat. The efficiency of the generator depends on the modes of its use in emergency and normal situations. Options for the functional modernisation of a diesel generator into the institution’s electrical network are proposed to temporarily solve local problems of lighting, heating, air conditioning, etc. of individual premises/objects. The ways of utilisation and modernisation of low-power generators that were imported to Ukraine and are currently decommissioned or have exhausted their service life are considered.
