Diesel Generators

The diesel generators provide a backup source of electric power for the most critical plant equipment in the case that the generator is separated from the power grid by a transmission line failure or a generator step-up transformer failure. Conventional nuclear power plants always incorporate on-site backup power typically in the form of diesel engines such as these. As this is a long-proven and relatively low-cost source of emergency backup power, the OPEN100 system will also incorporate these.
