Diesel generator set is the most widely used power generation equipment at present. Many enterprises are equipped with diesel generator set as emergency standby power supply, and the price of one set is not cheap. Is the cost of using diesel generator set cost-effective? We know that the power generation cost of diesel generator set mainly includes the following aspects:

 

Diesel cost;

 

Cost of purchasing generator;

 

Maintenance cost of generator;

 

Generator operator salary;

Diesel generator sets use diesel as fuel, which is also the main cost in the later stage. In the industry, the fuel consumption of a diesel generator is usually calibrated by the fuel consumption rate (unit: g/kw. h), and its parameters are mostly between 190-210g/kw. h. Among them, the fuel consumption rate of different brands has a certain gap due to different technologies.

 

In addition to diesel consumption, the operating cost of diesel generator should also consider the mechanical wear and maintenance oil consumption, etc. When selecting the generator set, it should be based on the actual situation. For example, in the case of frequent use, large brand generator sets can be selected. Its fuel consumption rate is usually lower, and the equipment is also durable. In the case of infrequent use, the unit manufacturer with reliable quality can be selected, and the purchase cost will be much lower.

 

In order to reduce the power generation cost of the diesel generator set, the maintenance of the diesel generator set is essential. Correct and timely and careful maintenance can ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator, reduce wear and tear, prevent failure, extend the service life of the unit, and reduce the operating cost, The maintenance of diesel generator set is generally divided into daily maintenance level 1 (every 100 hours of work) level 2 (every 250~500 hours of work) and level 3 (every 1500~2000 hours of work). Different maintenance stages have different maintenance items, and users should carry out maintenance according to different stages to ensure that the unit is in good operation.
