Fuel Oil and Diesel Inventory for Peaking Units

This dataset provides detailed, time-stamped inventory and usage records for fuel oil and diesel storage at peaking units, emergency generators, and black start units. It includes tank levels, delivery events, burn rates during critical periods, and precise facility locations, supporting operational planning, compliance, and emergency response. The comprehensive structure enables tracking, forecasting, and optimization of fuel resources for grid reliability.

Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 100 rows came out of a blueprint — 19 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with

Plant name and generating unit ID (combustion turbine, reciprocating engine)
Fuel type: #2 diesel (distillate), #6 heavy oil (residual)
Storage tank capacity (gallons or barrels) and current inventory level
Fuel deliveries: volume (gallons), delivery date, supplier
Heat content (Btu/gallon), typically 138,000 Btu/gal for diesel
Burn rate (gallons/hour at full load) and days of supply
Usage: peaking/emergency generation, black start capability
Fuel oil pricing ($/gallon) and hedging contracts
