How do Hybrid Generators work?
Hybrid generators are new age generators which combine traditional generator sets with another controllable electric source in order to generate a fuel efficient, noise reduced and environment friendly source of power supply. The controllable source may comprise of a fuel cell or another device which generates electricity from a non-electrical power source such as a hydro-electric generator, wind turbine generator, solar powered power source, etc. The batteries in
hybrid gensets are charged by renewable power sources (solar, wind, hydro, etc.) along with the fuel generators during its operation. The power supply is given from the charge stored in the batteries itself, thus eliminating the need for fuel generators to be operating continuously.
Features of Hybrid Generators
Applications of Hybrid Generators
- Hybrid generators are useful in places where access to fuels (diesel, petrol, LPG etc.) is difficult. By reducing the use of fuel in generator set, it ensures that the generator set runs for a long duration with less fuel.
- Hybrid gensets ensure uninterrupted power supply to homes and shops. When a power outage occurs, the generator system detects it and automatically begins to supply power to the connected home/shop.
- In areas with size and weight constraints, hybrid generators are a good choice as they are light, compact and can be transported easily.
- In places where power supply from the grid is not accessible, hybrid generators can be used as the primary source of power supply.
