Somewhere on the internet there is a chart that pretty much tells you what HP engine you need to produce X amount of KW in a generator setup.
There are 746 watts in 1hp so for 20KW you will need roughly 27hp, I would use a 30 for a cushion

Generators/alternators typically run around 90% efficiency, at least the ones I work with. I imagine the smaller ones are worse.
