  • Abstract
    The paper describes the characteristics of diesel generation plant and discusses the role of diesel generation in the context of bulk supply of electricity. The specific operational and maintenance aspects of diesel generation are presented and the need for the development of aids to routine maintenance are discussed. One technique for monitoring the performance of diesel plant is described and results are given from tests carried out in Stornoway power station on the island of Lewis.
