Start a Assembly of Diesel Generator Set Unit

 

(272). Start a Assembly of Diesel Generator Set Unit

Diesel Generator set is used to generate electricity for meeting the electricity requirement of small establishments such as commercial buildings, Hotels, Railway Stations, Telephone Exchange, Shops etc. when there is a power supply failure from the State Electricity Board or other power supply undertakings.The prime mover of the Generator set will be a diesel engine and the prime mover will be coupled to an alternator (single phase for small units). There will be a control panel to control the on/off operation/change over from mains supply to Generator set supply etc. Generator sets of higher rating has to be started with battery starters. Diesel Generator sets of smaller rating can be started by cranking.



Market Potential
Since power failure is very common in India, this equipment has got good demand. Diesel Generator set of 5 kVA rating is having very good market as it suits to most of the commercial establishments.

Basis and Presumptions
i) The basis for calculation of production capacity has been taken on single shift basis on 75% efficiency.

ii) The maximum capacity utilization on single shift basis for 300 days a year. During first year and second year of operations the capacity utilization is 60% and 80% respectively. The unit is expected to achieve full capacity utilization from the third year onwards.

iii) The salaries and wages, cost of raw materials, utilities, rents, etc. are based on the prevailing rates in and around Coimbatore. These cost factors are likely to vary with time and location.

iv) Interest on term loan and working capital loan has been taken at the rate of 12.5% on an average and amount of loan seek from the financial institution is 75 % of total working capital. This rate may vary depending upon the policy of the financial institutions/agencies from time to time.

v) The cost of machinery and equipments refer to a particular make/model and prices are approximate.

vi) The break-even point percentage indicated is of full capacity utilization.

vii) The project preparation cost etc. whenever required could be considered under pre-operative expenses.

viii) The essential production machinery and test equipment required for the project have been indicated. The unit may also utilize common test facilities available at Electronics Test and Development Centres (ETDCs) and Electronic Regional Test Laboratories (ERTLs) and Regional Testing Centres (RTCs).

Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture
The proposed unit is doing the assembly of diesel generator sets with necessary control panel as per the requirement of the customer.


The load requirement of the customer is studied in consultation with the customer. Any special requirements such as minimum start up period, fluctuations of load etc. are noted. A suitable alternator to meet the load requirement is procured from an alternator manufacturer. A diesel engine suitable for the alternator is also selected and procured from the diesel engine manufacturer. The diesel engine and alternator are coupled and fixed on a frame. A control panel for starting the engine using battery bank, isolating the mains while the alternator is running, disconnecting the alternator when the mains supply is available etc. is designed and assembled as stipulated by the customer. The assembly is tested for fuel efficiency, load capacity of the alternator, operational sequences etc.

The Diesel Generator set is then despatched to the premises of the customer in dismantled condition on in assembled condition depending upon the size of the Diesel Generator set.
Quality Control and Standards
The alternator has to meet the requirements of the customer with regard to voltage, frequency, power etc. and the diesel engine has to conform to IS 10001.

The performance of alternator and diesel engine may be tested at the manufacturers' works before taking delivery. The control panel requires contactors and relays. The contractors and relays shall conform to relevant IS Specification and shall be from a reputed manufacturer.
Production Capacity (per annum)
The actual manufacturing depends up on the orders received and the marketing efforts taken by the unit. The proposed unit will have a capacity to assemble 24 diesel generator sets in a year. For the purpose of financial projections a standard rating of 5 kVA diesel generator set is taken.
Motive Power: 10 KW.
Pollution Control
The Government accords utmost importance to control environmental pollution. The small-scale entrepreneurs should have an environmental friendly attitude and adopt pollution control measures by process modification and technology substitution.

India having acceded to the Montreal Protocol in September 1992, the production and use of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) like Chlorofluore Carbon (CFCs), Carbon Tetrachloride, Halons and methyl Chloroform etc. need to be phased out immediately with alternative chemicals/solvents. A notification for detailed Rules to regulate ODS phase out under the Environment Protection Act, 1986 have been put in place with effect from 19th July 2000.

Energy Conservation
With the growing energy needs and shortage coupled with rising energy cost, a greater thrust in energy efficiency in industrial sector has been given by the Govt. of India since 1980s. The Energy Conservation Act, 2001 has been enacted on 18th August 2001, which provides for efficient use of energy, its conservation and capacity building of Bureau of Energy Efficiency created under the Act.
The following steps may help for conservation of electrical energy:

i) Adoption of energy conserving technologies, production aids and testing facilities.

ii) Efficient management of process/manufacturing machineries and systems, QC and testing equipments for yielding maximum Energy Conservation.

iii) Optimum use of electrical energy for heating during soldering process can be obtained by using efficient temperature controlled soldering and de-soldering stations.

iv) Periodical maintenance of motors compressors etc.

v) Use of power factor correction capacitors. Proper selection and layout of lighting system; timely switching on-off of the lights; use of compact fluorescent lamps wherever possible etc.
