How do you design a dependable generator system in an evolving world? This presentation will discuss how diesel fuel has changed over time, the impacts of renewable fuels, and how to achieve long-term system reliability and sustainability in the power generation market. 

Electrical engineers must understand how to design a generator system for onsite, standby, and emergency power in a variety of different commercial building types. Selecting generator set (genset) fuel is a key component of this specification process.  

Key lessons that the audience will take away:

1. Current state of diesel as a fuel in generators
2. Basics of renewable fuels
3. How time impacts biodiesel reliability
4. Impact of fuel choices on system sustainability
5. Installation considerations from a fuel perspective.
