ITEMFEATURELOW-VOLTAGE   GENSETHIGH-VOLTAGE   GENSET
1CapacityMultiple   gensets can be run in parallel.Multiple   gensets can run in parallel, and the machine room can be built in a   centralized manner.
2Power TransmissionCan   transmit power over short distancesCan   transmit power over long distances
3Converying   Distancehas   a large line loss in power transmission and distributionIn   power transmission and distribution, the line loss is small, and there is no   transmission heating problem
4CostThe   initial investment of the equipment is small, the maintenance cost is low,   and the low capacity and short distance have great advantages. The cost of   high capacity and long distance use will be much higher than that of the high   pressure unitThe   initial equipment investment is relatively large, and the maintenance cost is   low. It has obvious advantages for large-capacity and long-distance power   transmission and distribution, and the supporting investment cost is low.
5Operation   & MaintenanceThe   operation and use are relatively simple, and the requirements for operators   and users are relatively low.The   operation and use are relatively complicated, and the requirements for   operators and users are relatively high, and they must have the corresponding   high-voltage operation qualifications to operate.
6SpecificationsThe   configuration is relatively simpleThe   configuration is more complicated, especially in terms of generators and   output distribution cabinets.
7SafetyHigh   safety performance, relatively mature technology, and low technical thresholdThe   safety performance is high, the technology is relatively mature, and the   technical threshold is high.
8Growing   TrendThe   low-power section maintains the traditional market, and the high-power   section tends to be replaced by high-voltage systemsThe   use of high-voltage systems is the current world trend, and the demand is   gradually increasing.


With the expansion of the machine room, the capacity of diesel generator sets as a backup power source is getting larger and larger, and multiple high-power diesel generator sets need to be connected to the grid to meet the load requirements, and the distance between the machine room and the actual load is getting farther and farther. The traditional parallel operation of multiple low-voltage diesel generator sets exposes a number of defects in operation and transmission. In order to be able to operate more safely and reliably, it is a better choice to use a high-pressure unit.


Based on the application characteristics of the aforementioned high and low voltage diesel generators, in scenarios where there is a demand for large capacity and long power transmission distances, high-voltage diesel generator sets exhibit significant advantages such as high capacity, long-distance power supply, centralized construction of power stations, strong reliability, and a simpler supporting distribution system. It is an inevitable trend for the selection and application of large-capacity generator sets. High-voltage diesel generator sets have already been extensively utilized in sectors such as banking, data centers, metallurgy, and civil aviation.
