What are full load hours / operating hours?

Operating hours control maintenance intervals (oil change 2,000 h, spark plugs 4,000 h, major service 8,000 h) and are the basis for billing cogeneration subsidies — more than 3 starts/day increases wear.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Cumulative runtime to determine maintenance intervals (e.g. oil change after 2,000 h)
  • Monitoring of spark plug service life (typically at 4,000 h)
  • Identification of wear susceptibility due to frequent cold starts (>3 starts/day)
  • Basis for the calculation of cogeneration subsidies and funding
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: cycles the CHP unit too frequently, wear increases without an alarm being triggered, leading to a shorter service life and higher maintenance costs. The AI: detects the unfavourable operating pattern early and suggests a steadier mode of operation. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

Precise monitoring of operating hours prevents unplanned downtime due to material fatigue and ensures compliance with warranty conditions. The data enable precise planning of the major service (8,000 h) and optimise the service life of engine components. Furthermore, they serve as a valid basis for the calculation of cogeneration subsidies. generated work per year (kWh) · nominal output (kW) → — full load hours/year Calculation method: generated work ÷ nominal output
