What is the maximum capacity of diesel generator set?

Globally, the maximum power of a generator set is an interesting figure. At present, the world's largest single capacity generator set has reached a staggering 1 million KW, and this achievement was achieved at Baihetan Hydropower Station on August 18, 2020. However, it is worth noting that power generation efficiency is not always proportional to maximum power, and technology development and efficiency optimization are the key in power industry.

According to the public data, and based on diesel generator set only, the maximum power of domestic diesel generators is usually 2400KW, while imported high-power diesel generator sets can reach 3000KW, and the lowest capacity is 5KW. It means that whether it is a small device or a large project,  both have the requirements of different specifications to meet diverse needs. In practical applications, such as the diesel generator set produced by Yangzhou East Power, the maximum power of a single set can reach 2000-3000KW, which benefits from the advanced technology of MTU, Mitsubishi, Perkins, Cummins, Weichai, Shangchai, Yuchai diesel engines, providing users with strong power support. If customers need more capacity, The parallel system from Yangzhou EAST POWER can be used to meet customer demands. For example, 10 sets 1000KW diesel generator can achieve a capacity of 10000KW through this parallel technology.

In general, the maximum capacity of diesel generator sets is a dynamic indicator, which reflects the progress of science and technology also the continuous evolution of the power industry. Each specification has its own applicable scenario, and consumers should fully consider their own needs and application environment when choosing.
