What Makes Diesel Generators the Go-To Choice for Powering Critical Infrastructure?
Extreme weather can cause power outages that disrupt critical services like healthcare, emergency response, and more. This January, many faced days without electricity due to ice storms. Diesel generators kept vital infrastructure running.
What makes diesel such a reliable backup power source? Diesel engines can operate for long stretches while gas-powered generators run out of fuel more quickly. Diesel also stores safely for long periods, so generators are ready whenever disaster strikes. The high torque of diesel engines allows them to handle spikes in electricity demand better than other options.
Diesel generators have a proven track record powering cell towers, hospitals, water treatment plants, and other essential facilities when the grid goes down. Low maintenance requirements also make diesel a cost-effective, set-it-and-forget-it choice for infrastructure managers operating on tight budgets.
