Five Main Uses of Diesel Generator Set

May. 30, 2023

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 five aspects:

 

Firstly, self powered 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.

 

Secondly, 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, and factories that use electric heating equipment. 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.

Thirdly, alternative power sources. The role of alternative power sources is to compensate for the shortage of grid power supply. There may be two situations: firstly, the price of grid power is too high, and diesel generators are chosen as alternative power sources from a cost saving perspective; 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, there have been several hot selling trends in the market for diesel generator sets in China, such as the nationwide 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 from 2003 to 2004. These were all caused by national and regional power shortages. In order to cope with large-scale power restrictions, various electricity consuming units have purchased diesel generator sets as alternative power sources.

 

Fourthly, mobile power supply. Mobile power supply is a power generation facility that has no fixed place of use and is transferred and used everywhere. Mobile trailer generators have become the preferred choice for mobile power sources due to their lightweight, flexible, and easy to operate characteristics. 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.

 

Fifth, fire power supply. Fire protection generator sets are mainly equipped with power supply for building fire protection equipment. In the event of a fire or other situation, the power supply is cut off, and the generator sets become the power source of fire protection equipment. With the implementation of fire protection laws, domestic real estate fire protection power sources will have great potential for development in a very large market.
