The Popular generator power and model in Philippines
1. Brief of popular generator power and model
1.1 Brief: The Philippine market is one of the largest generator set markets in the world. The growing demand for energy in the Philippines comes from its economic development, and infrastructure construction is an important part of its economic development. Among them, real estate construction is the fastest growing in recent years. Emergency standby generator set is a necessary standard configuration for high-rise buildings, and it is used to provide fire extinguishing, fire lighting, elevators, etc. in emergency situations.
MG Power has actively participated in commercial and residential real estate projects in the Philippines for many years, providing high-quality customizable generator sets. Based on our experience, we have summarized the popular power and models of generator sets required for these projects.
1.2 Popular power rating: The most popular power capacity of generator for commercial and residential real estate projects in the Philippines are 500KVA/400KW, 625KVA/500KW, 750KVA/600KW, 1000KVA/800KW and 1500KVA/1200KW. The power capacity is in standby.
1.3 Related MG genset model: Cummins engine series MG-C500-6, MG-C625-6, MG-C750-6, MG-C1000-6 and MG-C1562-6, MTU engine series MG-M1000-6, MG-M1500-6 and MG-M1562-6, Doosan engine series MG-D575-6, MG-D625-6, and MG-D750-6.
2. Specification and Configuration of the popular generator
2.1 Specification: in Philippines the standard voltage for 3 phase power systems is 400V, 440V, 460V or 480V for industrial and commercial applications, and 220V, 230V or 240V for civil applications. The voltage for 1 phase is 220V, 230V or 240V. The voltage mentioned before are wires voltage, mean line to line. The common output frequency is 60 Hz. So three phase or single phase generators are running at 1800 RPM, will produce 60 Hz output.
3-phase generators are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings to power large machinery, motors, and other equipment that require a lot of power.
1-phase generators are commonly used in residential settings as backup power sources, for portable power, or in smaller industrial applications.
The popular gensets in Philippines for commercial and residential buildings are usually for backup use in emergency conditions. So the power capacity mostly means standby power.
2.2 Configuration: the key parts of diesel generator are engine, alternator and control system.
A. Engine: Cummins and Mitsubishi engines are most popular brands in Philippines. Cummins has complete power range from 20KVA up to 3000KVA. The most popular models are made in China with economical price, reliable quality and good service.
Mitsubishi engines are very competitive in large power capacity, but they are not available for OEM manufacturer, only provide by MHI Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
In addition MTU engine from Germany, Doosan from Korea, Yuchai from China and Baudouin from France are getting more and more popular in Philippines.
B: Alternator: Stamford, Leroy Somer, Mecc Alte, Marathon and Chinese brand like EvoTec, Xingnuo, MG are all reputed and accepted by different customers with different requirements.
Stamford is UK brand owned by Cummins, top quality but price is high. Leroy Somer is French brand, competitive in price with reliable quality. Mecc Alte is from Italy, Marathon is from US, both good in price and quality. Chinese brands are economical choice and quality is stable.
C: Control system: Deepsea from UK, the popular models are DSE6020, 7320, 8610, ComAp from Czech, the popular models are MRS-10, MRS-16, ICNT, IGNT and Smartgen from China are most famous brands in Philippines markets. They all have multi function for single use or paralleling running of DG sets.
D: Structure type: open frame type, silent enclosed type, or soundproof mobile trailer type to satisfy different application for indoor or outdoor use.
3. Application of popular generator
The different types of diesel generator structures, namely open frame type, silent type, and mobile type, are designed for specific applications based on their features and functionalities
3.1 Open Frame Type: Open frame diesel generators are characterized by their exposed engine, alternator, base fuel tank components without any soundproofing enclosures. They are commonly used in applications where have dedicated machine rooms with good air flowing, heat dissipation and noise reduction conditions. For example the large commercial and residential buildings.
3.2 Silent Type: Silent type diesel generators are enclosed in soundproof enclosures like canopies or ISO standard containers, which reduce noise levels during operation. These generators find applications where noise control is essential. Some common applications include:
Residential areas: Silent generators are suitable for powering homes, apartments, or small residential complexes during power outages.
Commercial buildings: They are often used in offices, retail stores, hospitals, and other establishments where low noise levels are required.
Events and entertainment: Silent generators are used to provide power for outdoor events, concerts, festivals, or film sets, ensuring minimal disruption to the surroundings.
3.3 Mobile Type: Mobile diesel generators are designed for easy transportation and mobility. They typically feature built-in wheels or trailers for convenient movement. These generators are commonly used in applications that require power on-the-go or in remote locations. Some typical applications include:
Construction projects: Mobile generators are utilized on construction sites that require power at multiple locations or where the power grid is inaccessible.
Emergency services: They are often employed by emergency response teams, such as firefighters or disaster relief organizations, to provide power during emergencies or natural disasters.
Outdoor activities: Mobile generators are useful for outdoor recreational activities, camping trips, or temporary setups like food trucks or mobile clinics.
