Back-up diesel generators

Conventional control technology

A back-up diesel generator is a sensible method of supplementing an isolated power supply system comprising a wind turbine and photovoltaic technology. The diesel generator covers user-driven peak loads, or more precisely switches on when the regenerative energy systems cannot provide sufficient energy.

Diesel generator: EADS, Kubota, Deutz, Daimler, Volvo

With VSCF technology

Variable speed AC electric generator
D 10-40 DDPME
400/230 V - 50 Hz - 10...40 kVA

The variable-speed design of the generator and automatic adjustment of the speed in line with power requirements ensure the best possible prerequisites for reduced fuel consumption, low exhaust gas and noise emissions, minimum maintenance requirements and maximum service life – resulting in a clearly more favourable LCC.

Highlights for variable-speed generators – VSCF (Variable Speed Constant Frequency)

• Significant reduction of LLC¹
• Longer service life, MTBF²
• Reduction of noise emissions
• Reduction of toxic emissions
• Reduction of fuel consumption
• Runs smoothly efficient in low-load operations
• Longer life-cycle
• Designed to supply "ac and dc current"
• Designed as "multi-frequency unit"
• Wide band performance spectrum – reduces the number of models

¹LCC = lifetime cycle costs
²MTBF = Mean Time Between Failtures
