Description

The combined operation of a diesel generator and an energy storage system effectively separates the optimization of “power generation efficiency” from “power consumption flexibility.” When a diesel generator operates alone, load fluctuations force it to run frequently in low-efficiency ranges, increasing fuel consumption and wear. With energy storage integrated, the storage system can absorb load variations and perform peak shaving and load leveling, allowing the generator to operate steadily near its optimal economic load point. This not only reduces fuel consumption and operating costs but also minimizes start-stop cycles, extends equipment lifespan, and improves power supply stability and responsiveness. Therefore, a well-matched combination of the two systems is more efficient, economical, and reliable than using either system independently.
