Generators are an essential part of many projects and give rise to a very significant expenditure. This book introduces you to them from the management perspective. It is not about turning you into an electrician or a mechanic but about choosing the most suitable generator for your project and running it in the most economical way possible. You will learn how to improve existing installations, determine the power required, make informed choices between the different available options, oversee key aspects of the installation and avoid wasting energy that compromises the sustainability of the projects. Review: Generators in developing projects - Not a huge book but, precise with clear concepts and realistic examples! Definitely recommended! 5* Review: Quick read and good information - 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.

Great little book packed with information
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.
