How Do I Know If an EBOSS® Is Right for the Application?

Summary:
This article outlines the technical decision process for determining whether an EBOSS system fits a given application based on power source type, load characteristics, and operational context.

Step 1: Verify Power Source

EBOSS is designed for applications where a diesel generator is the primary and continuous power source.
Confirm that:

• A diesel generator is being used.

• The generator operates at least 16 hours per day during active periods.

• The system can be configured so EBOSS is the only power source on the bus.

If the primary source is solar, wind, utility, or a multi-source hybrid, EBOSS may not be suitable.

Step 2: Analyze Load Profile

Determine whether the load profile has:

• High peak loads and lower continuous loads.

• Cyclic or sensitive frequency behavior that benefits from stabilization.

• Extended periods where generators run at partial loads.

EBOSS is most effective when the generator’s load fluctuates significantly between peak and continuous levels.

Step 3: Determine Operational Fit

Classify the application:

• Optimal Fit: Meets all source and load criteria. EBOSS can optimize generator operation.

• Fringe Fit: Application involves high continuous loads, multi-source power systems, or expectations of long battery-only operation. EBOSS can be used but requires careful sizing and design.

• Not a Fit: Application relies primarily on non-diesel sources or requires integration with other control systems.
