Generators Vs Inverters


Posted March 24, 2014 by adpowerae

Generators use fuel like diesel, propane, gasoline to run an engine.

 
During power interruptions, correctly sized and installed emergency generators can safely power electrical equipment such as moveable heating units, computers, water pumps, milking machines, home freezers, refrigerators and lighting. However, emergency generators can be complicated and expensive. The key in selecting the proper generator is to evaluate what appliances you really need to power in an emergency. Generators use fuel like diesel, propane, gasoline to run an engine. That engine spins a rotating shaft which uses magnets and electrical windings to create electrical AC current. Generators are really good at one thing: taking a relatively light weight and easily acquired energy source (fuel) and creating lots of kilowatt hours of electrical power.

Inverters are also AC power supplies, but they use stored DC electrical energy in a battery (or a battery bank). They use high-speed electrical switches and transformers to modify the DC to AC, and then change the voltage to create 120V. On the plus side inverters are extremely efficient, compared to generators, and only consume DC power in direct relation to the amount of power they put out. However, inverters are not a great supply since their energy supplies (batteries) are permanently mounted, hard to replenish, and limited. This means that short-term heavy loads (like a microwave), or long-term lighter loads (like an entertainment center) are just right for an inverter with the right battery bank. So when you require the monster loads like A.C to turn on, run the macho generator for a long time (at least an hour) to power the heavier loads, and let the battery charger then give the inverter its efficient power once you’re ready to shut the generator down.



The demand of Diesel fuel in Dubai is increasing, resulting in bigger dependency on fuel imports. Dual fuel operation of a diesel engine using natural gas replaces diesel requirements significantly (as high as 80%). This is economically beneficial and improves the level of engine pollution. Line supply of natural gas is often not available at the location of power generation.
