Abstract

This study analyzes the economic efficiency of Cummins diesel engines with a focus on fuel costs. Cummins diesel engines are used in power generation systems due to their reliability and fuel flexibility. The analysis employed a library research approach to examine the relationship between fuel consumption, engine performance, and operational costs. Results indicate that fuel consumption, fuel type, load, and operating duration affect economic efficiency. Effective fuel management strategies, including proper fuel selection, optimized operation scheduling, and regular engine maintenance, can enhance cost efficiency while maintaining engine performance.
