Do You Know the Purpose of Diesel Engine Generator Set

Diesel generator set is a kind of power generation equipment. Its principle is to convert heat energy into mechanical energy by burning diesel oil in the engine, and then drive the generator to cut the magnetic field through the rotation of the engine to finally generate electric energy. Its main uses include the following four aspects:

1.Self provided power supply. Some electricity consuming units do not have grid power supply, such as islands far from the mainland, remote pastoral areas, rural areas, military camps, workstations, radar stations on desert plateaus, etc., which require the configuration of self-contained power supplies. The so-called self-contained power supply is the power supply for self use. Under the condition of low power generation, diesel generator sets often become the first choice for self-contained power supply.

2.Backup power supply. The main purpose is that although some electricity consuming units already have a relatively stable and reliable grid power supply, in order to prevent unexpected situations such as circuit failures or temporary power outages, they can still be configured for emergency power generation. Electricity consuming units using the power supply generally have high requirements for power supply guarantee, and even minute by second power outages are not allowed. They must replace it with emergency backup power generation at the moment of grid power termination, Otherwise, it will cause significant losses. This type of unit includes some traditional high power supply guarantee units, such as hospitals, mines, power plant security power supplies, factories that use electric heating equipment, etc; In recent years, network power has become a new growth point in the demand for backup power, such as telecommunications operators, banks, airports, command centers, databases, highways, high-grade hotels and office buildings, high-end catering and entertainment venues, etc. Due to the use of networked management, these units are increasingly becoming the main users of backup power.

3.Alternative power sources. The role of alternative power sources is to compensate for the shortage of grid power supply. There may be two situations. One is that the grid power price is too high, so diesel generator is selected as an alternative power source from the perspective of cost saving; Another issue is that in the case of insufficient grid power supply, the use of grid power is restricted, and the power supply department has no choice but to switch off and limit power everywhere. At this time, in order to produce and work normally, power consuming units need to replace power sources for relief. In recent years, the hot sales of diesel generator set products in China's market, such as the nationwide hot sales in the first half of the 1980s, the hot sales in South China in the early 1990s, and the hot sales in East China in 2003-2004, were all caused by national and regional power shortages. In order to cope with large-scale power cut, power consumers have purchased diesel generator sets as alternative power supplies.

4.Mobile power supply. Mobile power supply is a power generation facility that has no fixed place of use and is transferred and used everywhere. Diesel generator set has become the first choice of mobile power supply due to its portability, flexibility and easy operation. Mobile power sources are generally designed in the form of power vehicles, including self powered vehicles and trailer powered vehicles. Most electricity consuming units using mobile power sources have the nature of mobile work, such as oil fields, geological exploration, field engineering exploration, camping and picnics, mobile command posts, power supply carriages (warehouses) for trains, ships, freight containers, military mobile weapon equipment power sources, etc. Some mobile power sources also have the nature of emergency power sources, such as emergency power supply vehicles for urban power supply departments, engineering rescue vehicles for water supply and gas supply departments Repair cars, etc.

It can be seen that the four uses of the above diesel generator sets are generated in response to different stages of social development. Among them, the self provided power supply and alternative power supply are the power demand generated due to the backward construction of power supply facilities or insufficient power supply capacity, which is the focus of market demand at the initial stage of social and economic development; The standby power supply and mobile power supply are the demand generated by the improvement of power supply guarantee requirements and the continuous expansion of power supply scope, which are the focus of market demand in the advanced stage of social and economic development. Therefore, if we look at the market use of diesel generator set products from the perspective of social development, it can be said that as a self-contained power supply and alternative power supply is its transitional use, while as a standby power supply and mobile power supply is its long-term use, Especially as a huge potential market demand for fire power, it will gradually be released.
