Diesel generators are essential power sources that combine a diesel engine and an alternator to produce electricity. Whether for backup power or remote areas without grid access, these machines ensure uninterrupted electricity supply. Understanding their working principles and key components is crucial for efficient operation and maintenance. Diesel Generators A Diesel Generator is a combination of a diesel engine and an electrical generator (alternator) designed to generate electrical energy. It is widely used for backup power and remote applications where grid electricity is unavailable. Key Components of a Diesel Generator 1. Diesel Engine The engine serves as the mechanical energy source for the generator. It operates using compression ignition, where fuel is ignited by the heat of compressed air. 2. Alternator The alternator converts mechanical energy from the diesel engine into electrical energy. It consists of a stator and rotor to facilitate power generation. Working Principle...
