Description:  

How to research, set up, and operated a new diesel standby generator maintenance plan. The author starts off by telling a most interesting story of when he set up the emergency generator maintenance team for one of the largest international oil company in the world. The case studies backing up this plan are larger corporations that have automatic transfer switches for multiple diesel standby generators. Even so, smaller companies with only one standby generator can and should utilize this maintenance plan.

 

In 1990, several high-profile emergency generator set failures during power outages resulted in an upper management decision that resulted in the author's research detailed here in this 96-page PDF download. The storyline is followed by detailed procedures on the steps the author used during the creation process leading up to the startup date of the maintenance team and detailed examples of how specific field problems were handled.

 

Learn from Larry Bush as he leads his maintenance team thru the research to purchase, setup and maintenance of Emergency Standby Generator (ESG) for an international oil company.

Excerpts From the Diesel Standby Generator Maintenance Chapters:

 

Diesel standby generator setup and implementation chapter:

The main purpose of this book is to show how I researched, set up, and operated a new diesel standby generator maintenance team in an international oil company. These are detailed procedures on the steps I used during the creation process leading up to the startup date of the maintenance team and detailed examples of how specific field problems were handled.

The development, standardization, approval, and adoption by the company of the team's operating instructions, Emergency, and Standby Generator (ESG) purchasing standards and fuel tank standards occurred in an environment that used standards based on various United States entities including National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Electric Code (NEC), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), and others, including European standards organizations. As well as those recommended by the manufacturer.  ...

 

Generator Setup and Maintenance Detailed Outline Chapter:

B. Training
  1. Prepare job descriptions and job requirements from company-supplied forms for each job in the new team.

  2. Work with the Organizational and Industrial Engineering Department (O&IE) to authorize the diesel mechanic career path for the new generator maintenance role.

  3. Work with Training Department and O&IE Department to utilize the existing electrical training curriculum for electricians and diesel mechanics training from a local diesel mechanics training provider. ...

Generator Maintenance Team Operating Instructions Chapter:

1. DEFINITIONS

  1.1 Emergency Power Supply System (EPSS): A complete functioning system of an Emergency Power Supply (EPS) coupled to a system that may consist of conductors, disconnecting means, and all control, supervisory, and support devices up to and including the load terminals of the transfer equipment needed for the system to operate as a safe and reliable source of electric power.

  1.2 Automatic Transfer Switch: Self-acting equipment for transferring one or more load conductor connections from one power source to another.

  1.3 Bypass-Isolation Switch: A manually operated device used in conjunction with and part of an automatic transfer switch to provide a means of (1) directly connecting the load conductors to a power source, and (2) disconnect the automatic transfer switch. ...

 

Diesel Generator Set Purchasing Specifications Chapter:

This specification contains Company requirements for synchronous generators and diesel engines. Added are the specific requirements for diesel generator sets of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 37 and 110 along with the definitions contained in International Standards Organization (ISO) Standards 3046 and 8528.

The specification is written in a format that follows that of American Petroleum Institute (API) Standards for rotating equipment and includes several of their standard paragraphs. ...

 

Standby Generator Field Problems with Examples Chapter:

There were a number of incidents that occurred while maintaining the Company owned ESGs situated over such a large area. I will relate some of them in the hope that the information might be helpful to the reader.

The Company had an Engineering Building with a computer center in Dhahran that utilized a 1460 HP Detroit Diesel generator set for emergency power. There was an emergency battery setup in the building that provided bridge-over power for up to ½ hour period of time.

Nine months prior to our taking over responsibility from the existing generator service providers, the Engineering Building generator faulted out and was removed from service. An emergency generator was temporarily rented from the local Detroit Diesel vendor. ...

 

Diesel standby generator Maintenance Summary chapter:

The research, planning, and implementation steps I followed in the outline to create the diesel standby generator maintenance plan could be used to create a different maintenance team as well. Just substitute your maintenance items for the generator sets and you should be home free.

I have written another e-book called "Maintenance Policy and Procedures". The emergency generator maintenance team was formed using the procedures from that eBook and adapted to the oil company structure.

A totally functioning team did not spring from the ground full-blown, overnight. The total time from conception to completion was 18 months. ...
