100 kVA ≈ 94 kVA here
At 11 m, altitude costs Berbera nothing. Heat costs it 6%. A 39.9 °C design ambient against the 25 °C an engine is rated at leaves the radiator far less temperature difference to reject into.
So 100 kVA becomes roughly 94 kVA on a 39.9 °C afternoon — exactly when Berbera is drawing most. What fails here is rarely the engine: it is cooling packs sized for a cooler day, canopies recirculating their own hot air, and batteries aged out early at 34 °C.
26.5 °C to 34 °C is a narrow 7.5 °C cycle, so thermal movement will not age this installation. Steady warmth will: with nights only reaching 26.5 °C the batteries never cool, and sealed lead-acid life roughly halves per 10 °C sustained above 25 °C. Budget shorter replacement intervals in Berbera than the datasheet implies.
Berbera is roughly 1585 km north-east of our base at Embakasi, Nairobi, in a straight line and across a border. At 1585 km, mobilisation is a real line in any Berbera quotation, and a machine waiting on a travelling part waits days, not hours. Hold a critical kit on site — filters, belts, an AVR, injectors — rather than ordering per failure.
Elevation: Open-Meteo Geocoding API (GeoNames elevation), retrieved 2026-08-26. Temperature: Open-Meteo Archive (ERA5 reanalysis), 2025 daily maxima and minima. Derate figures are planning estimates using standard corrections (approximately 1% per 100 m above 300 m; 2% per 5 °C above 25 °C); final sizing follows the engine manufacturer’s own derate tables for the set proposed.
