How does the diesel generator set work?

• The primary function of a diesel power generator
  is to convert mechanical energy created by the
  combustion of diesel into electrical energy.
• A silent diesel generator set consists of three
  main components diesel engine, AC alternator and
  control panel.
• Engine The engine is the primary component of a
  diesel generator set, this is because it is the
  source of mechanical energy which is later
  converted into electrical energy.

How does the diesel generator set work?

• The power output of the generators is directly
  proportional to the size of the engine.
• Alternator The alternator converts the
  electrical output from the mechanical input
  supplied by the engine.
• The alternator consists of a rotor, which is the
  moving part of the alternator.
• The rotor produces a magnetic field which
  eventually produces the alternating current.
• Control panel The control panels consist of the
  start and stop button.

How does the diesel generator set work?

• It also indicates the reading of various
  parameters like voltage, current and frequency.
• The switches on the control panel make the
  generator easy to operate.
• Inside the generator set, the air is drawn into a
  cylinder and compressed.
• The compressed air is heated to a temperature of
  700 900C.
• Simultaneously, diesel is injected in the
  cylinder which combusts due to the high
  temperature of the cylinder.

How does the diesel generator set work?

• The heat energy is converted into mechanical
  energy through a piston in the cylindrical
  passage, this piston is further connected to a
  crankshaft.
• An alternator is coupled with the diesel engine
  and the mechanical energy from the cylinder is
  transmitted to an alternator and converted into
  electrical energy.
