The Origins of Diesel Generators
Diesel Generators – the Origins The first practical and reliable electricity-generation devices were developed and produced by Charles Brush, an American engineer and inventor improving on earlier dynamo designs by making smaller, more efficient, and less costly devices. His machines were initially employed in cities to power streetlights but later by utility companies that sold […]
Strong Demand for Industrial Generators in Gauteng
Sales of industrial generators in Africa for 2020 amounted to a total of $5,35 billion. The figure is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 5,7% (compounded) until at least 2028. Market growth is driven primarily by increasingly unreliable grid power but also by growth in the demand for data centres as Africa digitises. […]
Silent Generators: Do Gensets Have to Be Noisy?
A genset, whether diesel or petrol, can produce a high level of noise that can be particularly intrusive and irritating to humans and animals. Noise, which is measured in decibels, can adversely affect human health and regulations exist to limit the amount of noise that is permissible in certain areas. If one is forced to […]
What are the different applications for generators?
In very broad terms, generators (also known as gensets) perform two types of roles. Firstly, generators can be employed to provide electrical power at sites that do not have a grid connection. These are known as prime power generators. Secondly, they can be employed as backup units where there is a grid connection so that […]
Are Solar Solutions a Good Option?
Until very recently, the cost of solar panels and battery storage has been on a downward cost curve year on year, making the installation of solar solutions, whether for cost saving, backup power, or both, more affordable and attractive. This holds true for residential, commercial, and industrial power users. Many people assume that the bulk […]
