Comparison of energy efficiency of a synchronous electric generator with a spark ignition engine using liquefied petroleum gas and gasoline

This paper presents experimental studies to determine the energy performance of the generator using gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas. The following are selected as energy indicators using liquefied petroleum gas and gasoline: specific fuel consumption and energy efficiency factor of the power plant. The highest specific fuel consumption is observed at the lowest and heaviest loads. It has been found that the highest valuesof efficiency for different fuels are observed at different loads. The established values of the distribution of energy indicators allow to predict the optimal parameters of autonomous installations using different types of fuels at different load levels.
