Peak Hours and On-Site Power Generation

In 2015, energy bills increased by 51% according to IPCA, with São Paulo leading at a 70.57% rise. Peak hours (5 PM-10 PM) pose the greatest challenge for companies due to maximum pricing. On-site power generation through generator rental has become a natural solution for various sectors, potentially reducing costs by 30% during peak hours, while also serving as a backup during supply interruptions.

Outlook for the Economy in 2016 and the Electric Sector

The economic landscape of 2016 presented challenging prospects with GDP contraction projections exceeding 3%, creating a recessionary spiral. The electric sector faced risks due to tariff freezes and lack of infrastructure investments. Although there was no immediate risk of shortages, experts warned of the need to seek alternative energy solutions.

Electric shock: know what it is, causes, and how to avoid it

Electrical safety guide reveals that 86% of people have experienced shock, mainly from appliances and showers. Main precautions: do not overload outlets with adapters, install child protectors, check appliance voltage (110v/220v), avoid use in damp environments, keep wiring in good condition, do not use “gatos” (illegal connections), change bulbs with the circuit breaker off. In case of shock: provide medical assistance, do not touch the victim, turn off power or use dry insulating material to move them.

Is renting a generator more cost-effective than buying one?

Renting a generator involves a significantly lower investment compared to purchasing, with multiple advantages: preventive and corrective maintenance included, equipment always inspected and in perfect condition, 24/7 specialized support from experienced technicians, and full tax deduction. It’s a versatile solution for businesses that require uninterrupted power like…

Discover if it’s possible to generate power from natural gas

Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed by the millennia-long decomposition of organic materials, composed of light hydrocarbons (methane, ethane, propane, butane). Found underground and offshore near oil fields, its primary application is clean power generation for industries, homes, and vehicles (CNG). Considered a cheaper and less polluting alternative to gasoline and alcohol, offering environmental benefits and reduced maintenance costs.

How is power generator maintenance performed?

Power generator maintenance should be carried out by specialized professionals to ensure full functionality when needed. The preventive process checks equipment compliance, the condition of internal and external components, the engine, fuel tank, and response speed. Regular maintenance is crucial for maximum safety, extended lifespan, and proper operation.

Power Generators – What Are They and What Are They Used For?

Power generators are medium to large-scale equipment that provide electricity during grid fluctuations or blackouts. They feature a robust structure, automatic start motor, and fuel tank. These are essential for facilities that cannot afford power outages, such as hospitals, schools, airports, events, and supermarkets. Tecnogera offers sales, rental, installation, and specialized maintenance.

Diesel Power Generator – Where to Use?

Diesel power generators use the combustion of this fuel to produce electricity through a magnetic field. They are employed in large-scale locations such as hospitals, supermarkets, shopping malls, airports, cinemas, and events. They provide autonomy and security for places that require constant energy, with the ability to handle power grid fluctuations or outages. Despite their robust structure, they offer efficient soundproofing.

What is an Enclosed Generator? Protection and Low Noise

An enclosed generator is a power generation equipment featuring a metal structure internally lined with thermoacoustic foam, significantly reducing operational noise. Its features include weather protection, noise levels between 75-85 decibels, and easy maintenance through side doors. It’s ideal for hospitals, schools, libraries, hotels, and environments requiring low noise levels. Tecnogera offers modern and economical enclosed generator sets with comprehensive service.

How does a manual power generator work?

The manual power generator is equipment that ensures convenience and safety in various environments with simple operation, ready to be activated at any time during power outages. Its operation is straightforward, activated by a crank or device that creates tension between internal motors, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. It requires preventive and corrective maintenance by specialized companies.
