Power Generating Unit

A generator set that supplies electrical power independent of shore or vessel supply during shipyard work.

Overview

A power generating unit pairs an engine with an alternator to produce electrical power on site, supplying welding sets, lighting, tools and a vessel's own systems whenever shore power is unavailable, insufficient, or the vessel's own generators are shut down for maintenance. Capacity is specified in kVA against the actual load it will carry rather than a round number. Welding sets in particular draw a highly variable current that a generator has to ride through without its frequency or voltage drifting outside what connected equipment tolerates. Fuel tank capacity and expected run time are sized together at the planning stage, since a generator running continuous shipyard loads for a multi-day drydocking has very different refuelling needs than one covering a short outage.
