Worked example
No result for these values. The message above the form says which field to change.
Fuel per kWh generated
0.3125 L/kWh
- Average fuel rate
- 37.5 L/h
- Energy per litre
- 3.2 kWh/L
- Average generated power
- 120 kW
- Average load against the entered rating
- 60 %
Measured-run normalisation only; fuel properties, transient duty and manufacturer tolerances remain outside the arithmetic.
Underlined figures are rounded. Select one to copy its full value.
Method and assumptions
Formula
fuel rate = litres ÷ hours; litres/kWh = litres ÷ generated kWh; average load = kWh ÷ hours ÷ rated kWUse meter totals covering the same start and stop boundary; zero electrical output has no finite litres-per-kWh result.
Limits of this result
- Fuel density, lower heating value, temperature, blend and meter accuracy are not normalised by this arithmetic.
- Transient loading, starts, idle periods and auxiliary loads can materially change a short-run ratio.
- Do not use this result as an emissions factor, maintenance limit or manufacturer performance guarantee.
