From the rural regions of the USA, Australia, and Canada to the rapidly developing economic areas of Africa and South East Asia – whether for use in continuous power generation or as a backup for telecommunications systems, data centers, power plants, or production sites – global demand for a supply of uninterrupted and reliable power is increasing, and will continue to rise over the coming
years.

With its range of gensets, DEUTZ has positioned itself successfully in this growing market. In addition to our traditional diesel generators we also offer zero-carbon alternatives that are powered by hydrogen. This new solution extends the DEUTZ portfolio of low-carbon microgrid systems and offers the highest level of efficiency currently available for this technology. Our hybrid variants, fitted with either a battery or a solar module, are also extremely efficient.

They work on a very simple principle. Our diesel generator-battery hybrid systems use an intelligent energy management system. This stores surplus energy in the batteries when consumption is lower than the output available from the generator. As soon as the storage systems are fully charged, the generator switches to standby mode, which saves up to 65 percent of fuel and thus reduces carbon dioxide emissions.

The solar-diesel hybrid variant has a solar collector, which in particularly sunny parts of the world provides most of the power needed by itself. The generator remains the most reliable energy source within the microgrid, but is only activated occasionally, during spikes in demand or on days without sun – depending on the relevant usage profile and geographical location. When our new hydrogen engines are integrated into microgrids with renewable energy sources they not only save fuel but can be operated entirely carbon-free.

Wherever generators with DEUTZ engines are deployed, our customers can be sure that they can rely on a DEUTZ engine. No matter how challenging the requirements are. No matter at what latitude the customer happens to be. No matter whether they need an emergency power supply or require continuous power generation. No matter if the generator is located indoors or outside. And should there ever be a problem, we will be there without delay. DEUTZ always aims to minimize downtime by making service – such as the regular maintenance of generators and the global availability of spare parts – part of the package from the very outset.
