Generators in development projects: How to choose, size, install and use diesel generators economically. Paperback – April 4, 2014

Not a huge book but, precise with clear concepts and realistic examples!Definitely recommended! 5*

I enjoyed this book and found it very informative. Anyone who is in need of information about generator sizing, efficiency and set-up in a rural environment should check this book out. It is a quick read and suited to anyone looking for clear information about operating a generator. It does not however give much detail as to engine selection or building a generator for custom applications although some of the basics are there.

Very good book!, it contains essential information to help with people without prior experience with sizing, selection, installation and maintenance of generator sets. Thanks!

I am extremely satisfied. This book has been very helpful to me. After struggling with lots of manuals that focused on design or mechanics and were overly technical, it has been a blessing to find something that you can actually put to use and is has been written for the layman. I particularly loved the graphs on fuel expenditures vs. load and the installation guidelines to avoid sabotaging your own generator into low performance, as I have done with mine.Although it mentions such projects, I find the "in development projects" in the title may be misleading. The vast majority of the text applies to any generator. "For owners" may have been better.
