Ratio = Ratio<br />

In order to find the revised heat to electricity ratio, the generator power required<br />

is recalculated by dividing the heat demand by the heat to electricity ratio just<br />

calculated for the current percentage load, and the power required from the<br />

engine is recalculated using Equation 5.22. The percentage load, specific fuel<br />

consumption or efficiency and heat to electricity ratio are calculated as before
