2. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   A 200 kW Caterpillar diesel generator set in a sound attenuated enclosure used as an emergency backup at a sewage treatment substation in Atlanta, United States. A diesel generator (DG) (also known as a diesel GenSet) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. [1]

3. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

   A wattage chart can be used to calculate the estimated power usage for different types of equipment to determine how many watts are necessary for a portable generator. Trailer-mounted generators or mobile generators, diesel generators are also used for emergencies or backup where either a redundant system is required or no generator is on-site.

4. Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_rotary...

   Diesel rotary uninterruptible power supply devices (DRUPS) combine the functionality of a battery-powered or flywheel-powered UPS and a diesel generator. When mains electricity supply is within specification, an electrical generator with a mass functions as motor to store kinetic energy in an electro-mechanical flywheel .

5. Micro combined heat and power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_combined_heat_and_power

   In a traditional power plant delivering electricity to consumers, about 34.4% of the primary energy of the input fuel, such as coal, natural gas, uranium, petroleum, solar thermal, or biomass, reaches the consumer via electricity, [6] although the efficiency can be 20% for very old plants and 45% for newer gas plants. In contrast, a CHP system ...

6. Hybrid power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

   A common type is a photovoltaic diesel hybrid system, [53] [54] combining photovoltaics (PV) and diesel generators, or diesel gensets, as PV has hardly any marginal cost and is treated with priority on the grid. The diesel gensets are used to constantly fill in the gap between the present load and the actual generated power by the PV system. [55]

7. Combined diesel–electric and gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_diesel–electric...

   A CODLAG system employs electric motors which are connected to the propeller shafts (usually 2). The motors are powered by diesel generators.For higher speeds, a gas turbine powers the shafts via a cross-connecting gearbox; for cruise speed, the drive train of the turbine is disengaged with clutches.
