These cars are becoming popular nowadays because of skyrocketing gas prices. However, diesel is not only used in cars. In fact, it has lots of  other applications. One such application is the diesel generator, which is used all around the world, usually as an emergency power supply.<\/p>\n<p>A diesel generator is basically a diesel engine and an electrical generator combined. Diesel generators are used for two main purposes. One purpose is to provide power as a regular source of electricity, while the other purpose is to act as an emergency power supply.<\/p>\n<p>The first purpose of diesel generators is to provide power as a regular source of electricity. This usually happens in areas that are not connected to the nearest power grid. In cases like this, these generators are built to generate as much as 2000 kVA of electricity. In addition, these generators are usually grouped together in parallel so that there will be enough electricity generated for the power plant they are in. In most cases, generator based power plants have three to six diesel generators working together to provide power.<\/p>\n<p>The second purpose of diesel generators is to act as an emergency power supply. These generators are smaller compared to power plant diesel generators. Portable diesel generators can give out between 1kVA to 10kVA of electricity, while the larger ones used in homes and offices have a capacity of between 8kVA to 30kVA.<\/p>\n<p>All around the world today, more and more power plants, offices, and homes are using diesel generators. New uses are also being developed for these devices. In ships, for instance, diesel generators are used to power and propel the ship with electricity. Since the generators do not need to be installed near the propellers and can be placed at a distance, they make give the ship more flexibility. Available space is also efficiently used because of their size. Aside from this, diesel generators are also used in many other industries.<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>Time to power up your home with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.runningdieselengines.com\/Powering+Up+Your+Home+or+Office+with+Diesel+Generators.4790.htm\">diesel generator<\/a>&#8230; Not yet familiar with biodiesel, visit this great resource site.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When people think of diesel fuel, they instantly think about diesel-engine cars.
