The harm of low load operation of diesel generator sets lies in the field of power supply, and diesel generator sets are widely favored for their flexibility and reliability. However, the common operating mode of long-term low load operation carries many hidden dangers that should not be underestimated. The following will briefly reveal the potential issues behind this phenomenon.
The primary hazard is the worsening of engine wear and tear. Under low load, the oil temperature is low and the fluidity is poor, which cannot effectively lubricate various components, leading to accelerated wear and shortening the engine life. At the same time, insufficient fuel combustion leads to increased carbon deposits, clogging of fuel injectors and cylinders, which affects efficiency and stability.
Secondly, the economic benefits have declined. At low loads, the fuel consumption per unit of electrical energy output increases, greatly reducing the economy. In the long run, the cost of operation and maintenance has increased, and the profit margin of enterprises has been compressed.
Furthermore, the stability of the electrical system is threatened. Low load may lead to voltage instability, frequency deviation, posing a threat to the operation of precision equipment, and in severe cases, may cause power grid accidents.
In addition, environmental pressure cannot be ignored. The increase in harmful gases released from incomplete combustion does not comply with increasingly strict emission standards, and companies face environmental fines and social responsibility questions.
Reasonably scheduling diesel generator sets to avoid unnecessary low load operation is a necessary measure to maintain equipment health, ensure power quality, optimize operating costs, and fulfill environmental responsibilities. Through scientific management and technological innovation, we aim to enable every generator set to perform at its optimal efficiency and contribute to the sustainable development of society.
