GETTING STARTEDRATING DEFINITIONS &LOAD FACTOR

ALTERNATIVE FUELS FOR
ELECTRIC POWER

The Cat SpecSizer program canhelp you accurately size generator
sets to a project’s specific loads.
This discussion gives an overview
of the tool and will prepare a user
to get started quickly.

Learn about the ISO8528 rating
definitions and Caterpillar ratings,
and how to properly apply theseto projects. Also cover application
specific considerations including
data centers, uptime ratings, andthe importance of load factor.

This is an introduction to some of thealternatives to the diesel and natural gas theindustry traditionally uses and guides you
through some of the characteristics of thesealternatives fuels. Specifically: Heavy fueloil (HFO), diesel from biological processes(biodiesel), propane gas, landfill gas, gas frombiological processes, and coal bed methane.
