MiravoDiesel Generator
Model a diesel backup generator with engine state, electrical load response, fuel depletion, runtime health, and faults for power scenarios.
What it is
A standby diesel generator set. It models engine run state, electrical output (voltage and frequency), fuel burn that follows load, coolant temperature and starter-battery condition.

What it tracks
| Member | Description |
|---|---|
running | Engine operating state. |
frequency / voltage | Electrical output. Frequency regulation and voltage stability. |
load_actual | Active power delivered (kW). |
fuel_rate | Live burn rate. Scales with load. |
fuel_level_percent | Tank level, derived from consumption. |
fuel_consumed_total | Cumulative fuel used. |
coolant_temperature | Thermal response to load. |
exhaust_temperature | Combustion and load indicator. |
battery_voltage | Starter battery condition. |
Fault modes
fuel_filter_clogged: needs the degraded stage and load above 50 kW. Load falls ×0.85 and exhaust temperature rises 30 °C for 600 s.coolant_leak: needs the degraded stage and coolant above 90 °C. Coolant rises 15 °C and load falls ×0.9 for 240 s. The engine keeps running.governor_fault: needs the degraded stage, frequency below 49.5 Hz and load above 5 kW. Frequency rises ×1.03 and voltage 12 V for 300 s.starter_battery_weak: needs the advanced_wear stage and load above 50 kW. Battery voltage drops 2 V for 500 s. Starting is not affected.exhaust_thermocouple_failure: open thermocouple: exhaust temperature collapses to the range minimum for 900 s with qualitybad.
Key parameters
| Parameter | Default | Unit |
|---|---|---|
rated_power_kva | 500 | kVA |
rated_voltage_v | 400 | V |
rated_frequency_hz | 50 | Hz |
fuel_capacity_l | 1000 | L |
fuel_rate_full_load_lph | 120 | L/h |
coolant_capacity_l | 50 | L |
fuel_capacity_l scales percentage depletion. Governor bounds follow the rated frequency; voltage follows the nameplate V/Hz ratio. fuel_rate_full_load_lph and coolant_capacity_l are currently metadata, not process coefficients.
Use cases
- Backup power readiness testing, including the start sequence.
- Fuel consumption coupled to a bulk fuel tank.
- Comparing high-hour and low-hour gensets.
- Analytics for a data center backup plant.
