What is The Operating Mode of Diesel Generator?

What is the operating mode of a diesel generator? How are they different?

The application programs required for diesel, diesel generators have a series of operating modes. These operation modes can be widely defined, but they can also have scenarios where these modes are mixed.

The diesel generator operating mode or independent refers to the generator being the only power system. No power supply available. In this case, the generator is usually the only source of power. It can be used to charge alternative power sources (such as battery banks) to reduce overall operating time and fuel consumption.

Diesel generator in standby mode

Backup of power supply. When the power supply fails, the generator will start running and the Automatic Transfer Panel (ATS) will change the load from the power supply to the generator to increase to the load. Unless there is a short-term backup, such as a UPS system.

The diesel generator is connected in parallel with the main power supply.

Diesel generators are paired with the main power tank, which typically involves short-term power outages unless there is a short-term backup.

When the power supply is insufficient to meet the load demand, diesel generators can be used to provide additional power. It can also be used to export power to the power source to support the power grid. Generators in this mode are also commonly used for uniform power supply failures.

How do different operating modes affect design?

The operating mode of diesel generators may have different system designs. For example, generators running in parallel with the power supply will require synchronous equipment such as advanced control modules and fully automatic circuit breakers.

Generators operating in standby typically require a load switch system, such as a MANual or automatic transfer switch, to ensure safe isolation of generator power from the generator's power source. Generators operating in standby are usually additional, but other generator ISO ratings can also be used.

Generators operating in mode are usually the most basic and have almost no other equipment to operate. Common additional features include bulk fuel tanks to allow for extended periods of unattended running. These generators are usually rated as COP or PRP, depending on the load requirements.
