Rental of 1000KW Power Diesel Generator & Provide Load Bank Test

10/25/23: UPDATED TO ADD CLARIFICATIONS MADE BELOW:

QUESTION: Can a twin pack engine with 500 kW each that can generate 1000 kW work?

ANSWER: A twin pack 500KW EDG combo is acceptable as long as it is 31 feet long or less.  Pier space available is minimal. 

QUESTION: Will 480 voltage work or will it need to be reduced to 440 voltage?

ANSWER: 480V is acceptable.  440VAC is what is required on the ship.  There will be a voltage drop in the cables.   

QUESTION: Will 12550 gallon tank work or it has to be 16000 gallon tank?

ANSWER: Believe the above question has an extra digit in it.  The spec requires a 1,600 gallon tank.  1,600 gallon tank is the minimum size that our customer will accept.  They require a certain amount of run time for emergency power that allows them the flexibility with their fuel truck.  If the vendor has a diesel that is less than or equal to 31 feet, and it has a fuel capacity of 12,550 gallons, then it would be acceptable. 

10/24/23: PROVIDING FURTHER DETAIL TO EXPECTED USAGE OF DIESEL GENERATOR AND LOAD TEST:
