Supply outages, consumption spikes, machine maintenance, scheduled downtimes, power supply in remote areas without utility coverage. These are just some of the many variables to consider when choosing the right generator, the one that will keep your business running at 100%.
If you’re still unsure about which type of generator to rent with so many options available, a good solution is to rely on the guidance of a company like Tecnogera, which provides complete power generation solutions for any demand.
After all, do you know what power generators are? Power generators are devices that provide electrical energy for a certain period, with the simple goal of maintaining essential activities or meeting the entire demand when there is no other means of producing energy.
The biggest advantage of renting a power generator from the renter’s perspective is the elimination of disruptions caused by power outages and shortages, regardless of location, occasion, or local energy supply.
Power generator resources are largely recommended for large enterprises that cannot afford to be without power (or at least suffer tangible losses and damages from power outages) in various sectors such as mining, construction, industry, and commerce/services.
The diesel electric generator is one of the most practical, eco-friendly, and effective solutions for electric power supply.
The equipment operates by the movement of a central shaft, which is driven by fuel combustion.
Thus, the mechanical energy resulting from this movement is converted into electrical energy by a device called an “alternator.”
This process is only possible due to the magnetic field generated by the central shaft’s rotation speed, which in turn creates voltage in conductor terminals that transmit the flow of electric currents.
The ideal solution for companies across various market segments
Renting generators powered by diesel or natural gas is the ideal solution for companies that require extra energy to keep all their activities running smoothly, while also wanting to be seen as sustainable by the market, which is undoubtedly an important differentiator.
It doesn’t matter if the rental mode is standby, aimed at covering occasional supply outages by the utility, or simply to mitigate consumption spikes and machine maintenance, the important thing is to find a generator that perfectly meets the company’s demand.
It’s essential to seek rental companies that truly offer solutions like generator sets with accessories, load banks for commissioning, and various alternatives in climate control and cooling, such as chillers, rooftop, and fan coil units.
Generator power ranges in kVA: advantages of the silent generator
Understanding which kVA range is ideal for your business is crucial, as each is intended for a specific purpose.
The advantage of turning to a company like TECNOGERA is that you will find generators of all ranges, with the added benefit that all equipment is “silent,” meaning they emit minimal noise according to sound measurement (dBA).
Power Calculator: quickly find the ideal power generator
First, to determine the ideal generator power, you need to consider each piece of equipment that will be connected to it in terms of wattage.
Another commonly used method is to base this calculation on the consumption in kW/h from the electricity bill.
Both methods can lead to the ideal generator through the power calculator, a feature offered by the TECNOGERA website that makes life easier for companies.
Most used methodologies:
Calculation by Watts of each equipment
Example: Your company needs to keep the office running regardless of power outages.
You select three items to connect to the generator: computer, air conditioning, and printers.
All this combined results in a consumption of 51.71 kVA. 50 Computers = 12,500 kW + 10 Air conditioners of 12,000 BTUs + 10 printers = 10 TVs = 0.900 kW = 51.71 kVA
In other words, to keep your office running independently of power outages, you should consume 51.71 kVA.
Calculation by kW/h from the electricity bill
Example: Based on your company’s electricity bill, you establish the use of 20,000 kW per hour, 30 days a month, and 20 hours a day.
Next, you set the network voltage at 220V, single source.
In the measurement relation with kVA, you will need 72 kVA to meet your demand, with a 150 A transfer panel. 20,000 kW per hour = 30 days = 20 hours + 220 V (single source) = 72 kVA
Pretty simple, right?
What to consider before renting a generator
Well, if you’ve made it this far, you’re probably aware of all the main details and technical specifications you need to check when renting the ideal generator, the one that will perfectly fit your demand.
However, the tips won’t be as valuable if, when requesting a quote, you don’t know how to evaluate all the characteristics that a good generator company should have, among which:
Specialized technical team
It’s very important to pay attention to certifications and quality seals presented by the company, as they indicate that the technical team is duly specialized, meaning capable of meeting and understanding all the peculiarities that your project requires.
Custom projects and solutions
Often, the rental company has numerous solutions, but none of them meet your company’s profile or the application you desire.
TECNOGERA, for example, has specialized teams to meet the demand of different segments ranging from mining, through industry, renewable energies, to commerce/services and events.
Modern fleet
The condition of the equipment, maintenance, as well as checking if the machinery is among the most modern on the market, are also extremely important items to evaluate, as after the rental, numerous disruptions can occur due to generator failures that should have already been resolved.
First-class service
Check if the generator company offers support to its clients, and for how many hours a day the technical team is fully available to solve any issues related to the generator rental.
Credibility
Regarding this item, there’s no need to delve too deep, right? After all, only a company with a history of serving diverse clients can promise the service you expect and that will consequently positively impact your projects.
As you may have noticed, power generators are, above all, true sources of energy, ensuring your business is never left in the dark, regardless of objectives and applications.
Nowadays, generators are present in various sectors, such as construction, shopping centers, hospitals, condominiums, events, meaning you can easily find a generator behind any structure that requires temporary energy to ensure full operation.
In this context, TECNOGERA is today one of the few Brazilian generator companies that combine excellent customer service with the constant modernization of its equipment, always ready to meet any type of demand and application.
