A diesel generator (DG) (also known as diesel genset) is the combination of a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator) to generate electrical energy. This is a specific case of engine-generator. ... Proper sizing of diesel generators is critical to avoid low-load or a shortage of power.
How diesel engine works as a generator?
First, air is blown into the generator until it is compressed; Subsequently, diesel fuel is injected; The combination of these processes, air compression and subsequent injection of the fuel, will contribute to generate the (intense) heat that triggers the inflammation of the fuel.

Diesel is used in most industrial sectors overwhelmingly because it provides more power per unit of fuel and its lower volatility makes it safer to handle. One really exciting prospect of diesel over petrol is the possibility of eliminating petroleum consumption entirely. Most diesel engines can be coaxed into burning vegetable oil instead of diesel and all of them can burn various processed forms of vegetable oil without loss in life or efficiency.
