Answer: c
Explanation: The engine driven generators are driven by the different forms of internal combustion engine. These generators have higher speeds for higher power ratings. These generators have ratings upto 20 MW.
The rating of engine-driven generators can vary widely depending on the specific application, model, and manufacturer. In general, these generators can range from small portable units producing less than 1 kilowatt (kW) of power to large industrial generators that produce megawatts (MW) of electricity. Here’s a general classification based on power output:
1. Small Portable Generators: Typically range from about 0.5 kW to 3 kW. These are often used for camping, small tools, and emergency power for a few appliances.
2. Mid-Size Portable and Standby Generators: These can range from about 3 kW to 20 kW. They are commonly used for residential purposes, powering home essentials or the entire home in the event of a power outage.
3. Large Standby Generators: These generators offer power ratings from 20 kW to several hundred kW. They’re used in commercial settings or to power large homes or small complexes.
4. Industrial Generators: Power ratings for these generators start from a few hundred kW and can go up to several MW. Such generators are used in industrial environments, large commercial buildings, hospitals, and in scenarios where a significant amount of power is necessary.
5. Utility Scale Generators: While not typically considered under the scope of “engine-driven” as they often use turbines (steam, gas, or water), it’s worth mentioning that generators in power plants can produce hundreds of MW to meet the electricity
