Diesel generators and gas generators
Thread Content
What is the power generation efficiency of diesel generators? Better brands, such as Cummins
The efficiency difference isn’t significant; it’s hard to say which one is better, as I haven’t made any comparisons
I think what you are asking about is the overall power generation efficiency of engines and generators: internal combustion engines generally have a higher efficiency of 40%-50%; external combustion engines (including steam engines and Stirling engines), as well as turbines (turbine fan engines), have an overall efficiency of around 30%. Here, we use Caterpillar engines (for emergency generator internal combustion engines) for small units, and Wartsila engines (for conventional generator internal combustion engines) for medium-sized units ； Large-scale use of turbine generators.
