What this calculator measures

Estimate retained kW using entered temperature and altitude reduction rates above their stated thresholds. No automatic capacity increase is credited below a threshold. Use manufacturer data for the actual equipment.

Inputs and units

Use readings and ratings that describe the same equipment, operating interval, and measurement boundary. The sample entries are editable examples; they do not establish the specifications of your generator.

Input Example entry or choice
Generator Rated Capacity (kW) 500 — enter a documented value
Ambient Temperature (°C) 40 — enter a documented value
Base Rated Temperature (°C) 40 — enter a documented value
Temperature Derating (% per °C above base) 0.5 — enter a documented value
Site Altitude (m) 0 — enter a documented value
Altitude Derating (% per 100 m) 0.3 — enter a documented value
Manufacturer full-output altitude threshold (m) 1000 — enter a documented value

Calculation method

The temperature factor is one minus the positive temperature excess multiplied by the entered percentage reduction per degree. A separate altitude factor uses positive elevation excess above its entered threshold. The factors multiply in this model, and each is bounded between zero and one.

Worked example

With a 100 kW base rating, 40 C base, 50 C ambient, and a documented 0.5% per C rate, the temperature factor is 95%. With no altitude reduction, the estimate is 95 kW. At 20 C ambient and below the altitude threshold, it is 100 kW rather than an assumed higher rating.

Limitations and checks

Illustrative defaults are not equipment specifications. Multiplying independent corrections is appropriate only when supported by the applicable method. If the manufacturer gives a combined engine/alternator site rating, use that directly. The result does not prove that a radiator, enclosure, or fuel arrangement can support that output.

For a practical decision, keep the original readings, the generator model, the relevant manual or specification, and the assumptions alongside the result. A different load, site condition, rating basis, or unit convention can answer a different question even when the arithmetic is correct.
