The Operating Cost of Diesel Generator Sets

Some manufacturers or enterprises purchase diesel generator sets not as a commonly used power source, but as an emergency power source to prevent economic and business losses caused by power outages. They are only truly used in temporary emergency situations and are rarely used several times a year. How can we understand the price and cost of using diesel generator sets when selecting them? Below is a brief explanation from Guangxi Dingbo Electric, a diesel generator manufacturer:

The power supply cost of diesel generators includes the following aspects:

1. Diesel cost;

2. The cost of purchasing or leasing generators;

3. Maintenance cost of generator;

4. Salary for generator operation technology;

If the generator consumes 5 liters of diesel per hour (diesel costs 6 yuan per liter); The purchase or rental cost is 50 yuan per day (working 8 hours per day); Consuming 0.1 liters of lubricating oil (50 yuan/liter of lubricating oil); Salary of 180 yuan/day; If the power of the diesel generator is 240 kilowatts per hour; According to calculations, the power supply cost of a diesel generator is 0.9218 yuan per kilowatt hour.

The above data is only a hypothesis, please calculate according to the actual situation.

The price analysis of diesel generator sets first needs to distinguish between diesel engines and generators, because different diesel engines are matched with different generators, and the prices are also different, even very different. Starting from diesel engines, diesel engines are divided into imported, joint venture, and domestic brands. Representative imported brands are Volvo from Sweden, Mercedes Benz from Germany, and Daewoo from South Korea. The first joint venture brand is Cummins from Chongqing. First tier domestic brands include Shangchai Co., Ltd., Yuchai, Weifang, etc. It is recommended to use them as backup power sources in real estate. The brands of generators include Wuxi Stanford, Shanghai Marathon, Ingersoll, etc. However, the domestic generator technology is now very mature, and the main performance of the motor is also similar. As the output part of the entire diesel generator set, there is no need to pursue brand effect.

Secondly, the price of diesel generator sets is directly related to the materials used in them. With the continuous rise in prices of various raw materials in the market, the price of diesel generator sets is also constantly increasing. Especially last winter, the supply of electricity was in short supply, and many northern regions have experienced power restrictions, which has caused the price of diesel generator sets to rise again and again. Furthermore, diesel generator sets are composed of many components, and the production process of assembly lines is complex. Therefore, the prices of diesel generator sets from different manufacturers vary greatly. If users are sincere about purchasing, it is recommended to come directly to the factory for inspection and see the stock, seeing is believing.
