INTRODUCTION

Certain diesel generator sets are designed to operate continuously over extended periods, often serving as the primary power source for electrical loads. These are referred to as prime power generator sets, which can function both as continuous main power supplies and as backup systems.

In remote or off-grid locations such as rural towns, islands, forest farms, mining sites, oil fields, and other areas disconnected from the main power grid, prime power generator sets are essential to provide electricity for local production and daily living. These units are engineered for reliable, long-term continuous operation to meet sustained power demands.

Critical installations such as national defense projects, communication hubs, broadcasting stations, and microwave relay stations must be equipped with backup generator sets. While these facilities are typically connected to the main grid, events such as earthquakes, typhoons, conflicts, and other natural or man-made disasters can damage grid infrastructure and cause extended power outages. In such cases, standby diesel generator sets must be capable of rapid startup and sustained long-term operation to ensure an uninterrupted power supply to these vital institutions. Given their operational requirements, this category of standby generator sets is also classified under prime power generator sets.

Emergency generator sets are primarily deployed in essential facilities where power reliability is critical. In the event of a sudden power failure or momentary outage, the emergency generator set activates promptly to restore and maintain electricity for a designated period. Loads supported by such systems are classified as priority (first-level) loads. Once the main power supply is restored, the generator set will automatically shut down.

Consequently, customized solutions for high-voltage, parallel-capable, ultra-silent, environmentally adapted, mobile, and containerized generator sets are increasingly in demand to meet diverse environmental and operational requirements.

Furthermore, tailored design considerations are often needed for noise control, generator room layout, fuel supply systems, exhaust management, and remote monitoring integration.
