Compared to diesel generators, natural gas generators have several significant advantages, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Environmental friendliness: The emissions from natural gas generators have been significantly reduced, with pollutant emissions reduced by about 90%. This makes it perform well in environmental protection, especially in areas or applications with strict environmental requirements.
2. Economy: Although the initial investment of natural gas generators may be slightly higher than that of diesel generators, in the long run, their operating costs are lower. The price of natural gas is usually more stable than diesel, and the maintenance cost is also lower, so the total operating cost is usually lower than that of diesel generators.
3. Reliability: The operation of natural gas generators is more stable and has a lower failure rate. Without an ignition system, it reduces potential points of failure. In addition, natural gas generator sets have fast electrical response speed, particularly stable operation, high output voltage and frequency accuracy, and small fluctuations, which are superior to diesel generator sets.
4. Starting performance: The starting performance of natural gas generators is superior to that of diesel generators. The time from cold start to full load is only 30 seconds, far exceeding the international standard time for diesel generator sets. This gives natural gas generators an advantage in emergency situations that require quick start-up.
5. Noise and vibration: The noise and vibration levels of natural gas generators are relatively low. Due to the high-speed rotation of gas turbines, their vibration is very small and their low-frequency noise is better than that of diesel generators. This makes natural gas generators more advantageous in densely populated areas that require low-noise environments, such as hospitals, schools, etc.
6. Fuel diversity: Natural gas generators can use various combustible gases as fuel, such as gas, straw gas, biogas, etc. These fuels are not only clean and inexpensive, but also can achieve resource recycling and reduce environmental pollution.
Overall, natural gas generators have advantages in terms of environmental friendliness, economy, reliability, starting performance, noise and vibration, and fuel diversity, and have gradually replaced diesel generators in many applications. However, when choosing a generator, specific application scenarios and requirements also need to be considered to ensure the selection of the most suitable type of generator.
