GB/T 2820.1:2022 Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets - Part 1: Application, ratings and performance
1 Scope
This document defines various classifications for the application, rating and performance of generating sets consisting of a Reciprocating Internal Combustion (RIC) engine, Alternating Current (a.c.) generator and any associated controlgear, switchgear and auxiliary equipment.
For some specific applications (e.g. essential hospital supplies, high-rise buildings), supplementary requirements can be necessary. The provisions of this document can be the basis for establishing any supplementary requirements.
It applies to a.c. generating sets driven by RIC engines for land and marine use and applications such as continuous power supply, peak-shaving power consumption and standby power consumption.
It does not apply to generating sets used on aircraft or to propel land vehicles and locomotives.

6 General description
6.1 Generating set
6.1.1 General
A generating set consists of one or more RIC engines used to produce mechanical energy and one or more generators to convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
The generating set includes any components used for coupling the mechanical prime mover(s) and electrical generator(s) (e.g. couplings, gearbox) and, where applicable, any load‑bearing and mounting components.
Note: A generator ready to be installed and only able to function as it stands after being mounted on a means of transport (e.g. an agricultural or forestry tractor) is considered to be a generating set.
6.1.2 Prime movers
For the purposes of this document, prime movers may be of two types:
a) compression‑ignition engines; and
b) spark‑ignition engines.
Depending on the generating set application, the following criteria, among others, can be important in selecting the prime mover to be used:
a) quality of fuel and fuel consumption;
b) exhaust gas and noise emission;
c) speed range;
d) mass and dimensions;
e) sudden loading and frequency behaviour;
f) generator short‑circuit characteristics;
g) cooling systems;
h) starting systems;
i) maintenance requirements;
j) waste heat utilization.
6.1.3 Electrical generators
For the purposes of this document, electrical generators may be of two types:
a) synchronous; and
b) asynchronous.
Depending on the generating set application, the following criteria shall be met in selecting the generator to be used:
a) voltage characteristics during starting and normal operation as well as after load changes, taking into account the electrical power factor;
b) short‑circuit behaviour (electrical and mechanical);
c) efficiency;
d) generator design and enclosure type;
e) parallel‑operation behaviour;
f) maintenance requirements.
6.1.4 Controlgear and switchgear
Equipment for the control, switching, operation and monitoring of the generating set shall be part of the associated controlgear and switchgear systems.
6.1.5 Auxiliaries
Auxiliaries are items of equipment additional to those already fitted/installed on the generating set as supplied but essential to its proper and safe operation, such as:
a) starting system;
b) air intake and exhaust gas systems;
c) cooling systems;
d) lubricating oil system;
e) fuel system (including fuel treatment where applicable);
f) auxiliary electrical power supply.
6.2 Power station
A power station comprises an installation of one or more generating sets and their auxiliary equipment, the associated controlgear and switchgear and, where applicable, the place of installation (e.g. abuilding, an enclosure or special equipment for protection from the weather).
