What Are The Advantages Of Diesel Generator?


Diesel generator is a kind of small power generation equipment, which uses diesel as the main fuel and uses diesel engine as the prime mover to drive the power generation machinery of the generator. The diesel generator has the characteristics of rapid starting, convenient operation and maintenance, less investment and strong adaptability to the environment. What are the advantages of diesel generators? The following is a detailed introduction.

The diesel generator has the following advantages:

1、There are many levels of single unit capacity, and the configuration is convenient: the single unit capacity of diesel generator ranges from several kilowatts to tens of thousands of kilowatts. According to the use and load conditions, there is a wide range of capacities available, and it has the advantage of being suitable for power loads of various capacities.

2、Light weight per unit power and flexible installation: the supporting equipment of diesel generator is relatively simple, with less supporting equipment, small size and light weight. Take high-speed diesel engine as an example, it is generally 8~20kg/kW, and the steam power unit is more than 4 times larger than the diesel engine. The diesel generator is characterized by flexibility and ease of movement.

3、High thermal efficiency and low fuel consumption: the effective thermal efficiency of diesel generator is 30-46%, that of high-pressure steam turbine is 20-40%, and that of gas turbine is 20-30%. Since the effective thermal efficiency of diesel generator is relatively high, the fuel consumption is low.

4、The diesel generator can be started quickly and reach full power quickly: it usually takes only a few seconds to start the diesel generator, and it can load all the loads within 1min in case of emergency. Under normal operation, it takes about 5~10min to obtain all loads, and it generally takes 3~4h for the steam power unit from startup to all loads.
