Diesel generators Diesel generators are those that are run on diesel, and can typically be divided into two basic parts: a diesel engine and an electrical generator. Diesel generators can be used to provide power to places that are not powered by a power grid or can be used as a backup in case of a power outage. Natural gas generators Natural gas generators use natural gas however, and are used in both emergency and portable generator types. They are one of the most affordable and effective fuels among non-renewable resources for power generation.LPG generators LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) generators have powerful engines that run smoothly and quietly while providing dependable power when you need it most.

A backup or standby generator provides electrical power in the event of a power outage. Within seconds of the power loss the generator starts and the electrical load is transferred to the generator. When combined with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), it can provide complete continuity of power with zero downtime. Once power returns to the mains supply the electrical load transfers back and the generator reverts back to standby until the next outage. Most generators run on diesel, natural gas or liquid propane gas.

Grid resilience means the ability to resume operations quickly following a disruption such as a power outage or blackout. This stability is important for sectors such as healthcare which rely on life saving equipment. Grid resiliency is also the ability to cope with increasing demand which is increasingly significant as we transition to net zero and our demands for electricity increase.

A generator is a very large piece of technical equipment that features many complex components, each of which could face inefficiencies due to a number of reasons. Generator commissioning will ensure that each and every component works as it should, achieving a successful generator installation without the need for an additional trip.

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) provides a source of power for the equipment it protects. If there is a disruption to power, the UPS has an on-board battery to automatically supply to electrical equipment until the disruption is over or back-up generators kick-in.
