In the past few years I have been getting a lot of questions about using smaller paralleled generator to supply a site load instead of a single larger unit.
A lot of factors impact those decisions, especially if the end user operates in an area with strict environmental regulations.
I came up with this paper a few years ago, and time to time revise it based on things learned or comments back from customers. I hope someone finds it helpful, and if you have comments I’d appreciate hearing them.
