Aquaculture Generator Sizing Calculator
This tool sizes a prime or standby generator for aquaculture from the farm's critical kW load, applies motor-starting headroom and site derating (altitude, temperature), and estimates fuel burn and monthly fuel cost.
Scenario modelling
Flexes load, headroom, site derating, runtime and fuel price.
Calculator inputs
≈3% per 300 m above 1000 m.
≈2% per 5 °C above 40 °C ambient.

Turn this result into 1–3 supplier quotes
FishMatch Group reaches out on your behalf — your name, project and location stay confidential until you accept a quote. No sign-up, no listing fees, buyers never pay.
How supplier matching works
- 1. Private brief. Your spec goes only to manufacturers we have selected for the right category, capacity and export experience.
- 2. Confidential outreach. Suppliers see the technical spec — not your name, company or exact location — until you accept a quote.
- 3. 1–3 comparable quotes. Typically within 5–10 business days, aligned on scope so you can compare like-for-like.
- 4. Financing intro (optional). If needed, we introduce your project to a financing partner. No fee to buyers.
Notes
- Add N+1 redundancy for RAS, shrimp and hatchery projects — a single genset failure = crop loss.
- Pair the genset with a UPS on SCADA / sensors and a battery bank on aeration to bridge start-up seconds.
- Compare fuel cost against the Solar ROI calculator — hybrid solar-diesel systems typically cut fuel 40–80%.
