To configure the Generator Load Summary Report:

  1. Set up the monitoring device that records the generator electrical data in PME. See Supported measurements and devices for details on which measurements are required.
  2. Create a Generator in the Generator Performance Configuration Tool with EPSS Test Module, and define, at a minimum, the following fields for this Generator:

    • Name - Enter a name for the generator.
    • Electrical Data - Select the Source of the electrical measurement data for the generator. Enter the generator Nameplate Rating and select the Unit.
    • Status Measurements - Select the Source of the generator Status Measurements, and the measurements used to indicate the Running and Stopped states.

  3. (Optional) Repeat step 2 to add additional generators.
  4. Create a Group in the Generator Performance Configuration Tool with EPSS Test Module, and define, at a minimum, the following fields for this Group:

    • Name - Enter a name for the group.
    • Generators - Select the Generators you created in step 2.

  5. Open the report template in the Reports Web Application, set the report input parameters, and generate the report.

NOTE: The groups you create with the Generator Performance Configuration Tool are available for selection as inputs to the Generator Load Summary Report. All Generators that are defined in a group are included in the report when that group is selected. You have the option to exclude generators in a group from a report by selecting this option in the report inputs section.
