Combined Application of Air-Cooled Single-Cylinder Diesel Generators and Solar Power Systems

To overcome the challenges of solar power systems, combining air-cooled single-cylinder diesel generators with solar power systems to form a complementary power generation system has become an effective solution. SR POWER has conducted in-depth research and technological innovation in this field. Introduce several efficient and reliable complementary power generation system products.

System Composition and Working Principle

The combined application of air-cooled single-cylinder diesel generators and solar power systems primarily consists of the following components:

‌Solar Power System‌: Including photovoltaic modules, inverters, controllers, etc. Photovoltaic modules convert solar energy into DC power, which is then converted to AC power by inverters. Controllers monitor and manage the entire system’s operational status.

‌Air-Cooled Single-Cylinder Diesel Generator‌: Serving as a backup power source, it starts operating when the solar power system cannot meet the electricity demand, providing stable power output.

‌Energy Storage Device‌: Such as battery banks, used to store excess electricity generated by the solar power system, supplying power to loads during nighttime or rainy weather.

‌Intelligent Control System‌: Responsible for monitoring and managing the operational status of the entire complementary power generation system. Automatically switching power sources based on actual demand to ensure stable system operation and efficient utilization.

The working principle is as follows:

During daytime with abundant sunlight, the solar power system prioritizes supplying power to the loads and stores excess electricity in the energy storage device.

When the solar power system cannot meet the electricity demand (e.g., at night or during rainy weather), the intelligent control system automatically switches to the air-cooled single-cylinder diesel generator for power supply.

The energy storage device supplies power to the loads during nighttime or rainy weather, extending the system’s power supply duration.

Application Scenarios and Advantages

The combined application of diesel generators and solar power systems is suitable for various scenarios, such as outdoor adventures, remote areas, military bases, etc. Compared to single solar power systems or traditional diesel generators, complementary power generation systems offer the following advantages:

‌Improved Power Supply Reliability‌: By combining solar power systems with air-cooled single-cylinder diesel generators, complementary power generation systems can provide stable power output to loads under various weather conditions, enhancing power supply reliability.

‌Reduced Operating Costs‌: When sunlight is abundant, the solar power system prioritizes supplying power to the loads, reducing the runtime of the air-cooled single-cylinder diesel generator and, consequently, lowering operating costs.

‌Environmental Protection and Energy Saving‌: Complementary power generation systems fully utilize solar energy, a clean and renewable source, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, lowering emission levels, and meeting environmental requirements.

‌High Adaptability‌: These systems are suitable for various scenarios and load demands, automatically switching power sources based on actual demand to ensure stable operation and efficient utilization.
