A gas generator set, also known as a gas genset, is a type of power generation equipment that uses gas as fuel to generate electricity. It consists of an engine that runs on gas (such as natural gas, biogas, or landfill gas) and a generator that converts the mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy.
Gas generator sets are commonly used in various applications, including backup power generation, prime power generation, and distributed energy systems. They offer several advantages, such as lower emissions compared to diesel generators, fuel flexibility, and lower operating costs in areas with easily accessible gas sources.
Gas generator sets come in different sizes and power output capacities, ranging from small units for residential or small-scale commercial applications to large industrial-grade units for powering entire facilities. They are widely used in industries, commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, data centers, and remote sites where reliable and efficient power supply is required.
