Abstract :

 Resistive load is used to test diesel generators, eliminating wet-stacking phenomenon in diesel generators and also to check the full and efficient performance of generators under rated load. In present paper, the design and fabrication of a controllable load resistor laboratory is investigated to ensure the correct and effective performance of diesel generators in the South Pars Third Refinery. The function of the device will be that by implementing a resistor load, it will place an artificial load on the generator. Scheduled test operations and loads increase gradually. As the load increases, the device will begin to measure and record diesel generator parameters including generator output voltage, current, frequency, power, temperature and oil pressure in the diesel engine at a specified interval. With the help of recorded data, it can be assured that the diesel generator is capable of increasing its power proportional to the load and also the ability of the diesel generator to continue operating at the highest possible level for a sustained period of time.
