How to Choose Diesel Generators for the Tourism Industry?

With the vigorous development of tourism, the demand for power supply in scenic areas is increasing. Especially in the peak tourist season and special weather conditions, the stability and reliability of the power supply has become the key to the operation of the scenic areas. As an important standby power supply, diesel generator sets play an irreplaceable role in ensuring the power supply of scenic areas. But how to choose the right diesel generators? Below are some key factors that you need to consider.

Before purchasing a diesel generator set, determine the power demand of the scenic area. Figure out the total power required, the voltage levels, the types of current (AC or DC), and the environment in which the devices are used.

Total power requirements

Calculate the required total power based on the electric equipment and load of the scenic areas.  Take into account the possible growth of electricity demand in the future and add a certain safety margin to your power need.

Please note that the lighting system, amusement facilities and catering services in the scenic areas need power supply to operate. However, the power requirements of these devices are different. Therefore, calculate the power needs of various equipment in detail to ensure that the power capacity of the diesel generator can meet the maximum power load of the scenic areas.

Voltage levels and current types

Different electrical equipment have different requirements for voltage levels and current types. When purchasing a diesel generator set, it is necessary to specify the voltage level and current type of the required equipment to ensure that the generator matches the electrical equipment.

Environments

The working environments including temperature, humidity, altitude, and the content of dust and corrosive gases in the scenic areas are complicated and changeable. They will directly affect the heat dissipation performance, anti-corrosion ability and operation stability of the generator. Thus, it is necessary to fully consider the environment that the generator will be used in and choose the unit that can adapt to the special environment of the scenic area.

Engine performance

Engine is the core component of a diesel generator, and its performance directly affects the whole performance of the genset. When buying a diesel generator, you should also focus on the engine power output, fuel economy, emission levels and noise level and so on. Choosing an engine with sufficient power, low fuel consumption, environmentally friendly emissions and low noise can ensure efficient operation and long-term stability of the generator.

Generator efficiency

Generator efficiency refers to the efficiency with which a generator/alternator converts input mechanical energy into electrical energy. High-efficiency generators can reduce energy loss and improve power output quality. So you should also pay attention to the rated power, efficiency curve and load characteristics of the alternator to ensure that the generator can maintain high efficiency under different loads.

Control system

The control system of diesel generator is responsible for monitoring and controlling the operating status of the generator to ensure its safe and stable operation. It determines whether the generator can start quickly and provide continuous power in an emergency. Therefore, you need to pay attention to some factors such as starting performance.

An advanced control system can improve the reliability and stability of the diesel generator set. For example, when the mains is out of power, out of phase, and under voltage, the system can automatically start the generator and put it into operation for power supply. When any fault occurs, the system will automatically alarm and record the fault point. It can automatically stop the generator to ensure the safety of the unit. Dingbo power diesel generator sets are equipped with an intelligent control system, which allows users to manage the gensets remotely by mobile APP or computer.
