When choosing a backup generator set for a farm, various requirements need to be considered such as power output, stability, fuel type, automation control, maintenance, noise emissions, and safety, to ensure reliable backup power support for the farm.
1. The power output of the generator set should be sufficient to meet the basic electricity needs of the farm, including the normal operation of farming equipment, lighting, ventilation, and other devices. The appropriate power output should be determined based on the scale and equipment of the farm.
2. The generator set should be stable and reliable during startup, operation, and shutdown, capable of responding promptly to changes in power demand to ensure the normal operation of farming equipment.
3. Considering that the generator set may need to operate for extended periods, factors such as cost, supply stability, and environmental friendliness should be taken into account when selecting the fuel type. Common choices include diesel, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas.
4. The generator set should have automatic start and stop functions, able to automatically start during power outages to ensure continuous power supply to farming equipment. It should also have automatic monitoring and alarm functions to detect and resolve issues promptly.
5. The generator set should be easy to maintain and service, regular inspections and maintenance can ensure its long-term stable operation. Professional maintenance teams or service providers should be available for support.
6. Considering the surrounding environment of the farm and the comfort of the animals, the noise and emissions of the generator set should comply with relevant standards to minimize impact on the environment and animals.
7. The installation location, grounding, protective measures, and other aspects of the generator set need to meet relevant safety standards to ensure that no safety hazards arise during use.
