Most people know that diesel is used to power cars. Cars powered by diesel engines, especially nowadays, are becoming more and more common with the regularly rising prices of oil and fuel. What people don’t know is that diesel has as lot of other applications. One such application is the diesel generator, which is used all around the world, usually as an emergency power supply.

A diesel generator is the product of a diesel engine and an electrical generator put together. These generators are used for two main purposes. One purpose is to provide power as a regular source of electricity, while the other purpose is to act as an emergency power supply.

Diesel generators can be regular sources of electricity for power. They are commonly used in areas that are not connected to nearby power grids. These generators can produce as much as 2000 kVA of electricity. When used in power plants, these generators are usually grouped together in parallel to generate enough electricity for the facility. Most generator-based power plants have three to six diesel generators working together to produce power.

Diesel generators also serve as emergency power supplies. These generators are typically smaller compared to power plant diesel generators. Portable diesel generators can give out between 1kVA to 10kVA of electricity, while the larger ones used in offices and homes have a capacity of between 8kVA to 30kVA.

All around the world today, more and more power plants, offices, and homes are using diesel generators. New uses are also being developed for these devices. In ships, for instance, diesel generators are used to power and propel the ship with electricity. Since the generators do not need to be installed near the propellers and can be placed at a distance, they make give the ship more flexibility. Available space is also efficiently used because of their size. Aside from this, diesel generators are also used in many other industries.
