DE ARMAS TEYRA, Marcos Alberto  and  CASTRO FERNANDEZ, Miguel. Independent Generator Evaluation and Selection Software. Energética [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.1, pp. 4-14. ISSN 1815-5901.

In many industries, buildings and services is necessary to employ independent power plants to supply the electric power to a particular system. In other cases, islanded operation is desired due to several specific situations. In order to realize the most efficient, economic and adequate selection of the generator capacity is necessary to consider not only the systems load characteristic, also is necessary to know the limits of capabilities and the resultant stability of the power generator. This paper presents a software that allows to select the adequate generator, expose the operating limits and the resulting stability in fluctuating load condition. With its application is possible to reduce economic losses and the costs due to an impropriated generator selection with an oversized o sub utilized machine. As a case a 2500 kVA power plant is analyzed.

Keywords : independent generators; islanding operation; generator selection; software.
