Generator Sets Industry Background

A generator set (genset) is an electrical equipment that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy as the power output. The genset is the combination of an engine, alternator, and other subassemblies. A genset is primarily deployed to cater to the emergency power requirements during a grid failure or as a source of primary power in remote or industrial sites where grid supply access is unavailable.
