DG300
Autonomous diesel electric generator 300 kWh.
At full load, it consumes 1 tonne of diesel fuel, produces 18 MW of electricity per day.
Advantages:
– No personnel required for operation.
– Minimum construction cost.
– Can be installed in any remote area.
– Does not require connection to a power grid.
– Switches off when there is no demand from the consumer. (ECO-friendly, damn!)
– Compact placement. (8×8 meters)
Disadvantages:
– Small fuel tank capacity – 1 tonne. (Make sure that the fuel source is within one day availability for your tanker truck.)
– Relatively high cost of generated electricity. (I cut it down as much as I could, but not to turn it into an imbalance. In reality, it should consume about 0.25 liters per kWh. And that’s 75 liters of diesel fuel per hour! Which is 1.8 tons per real day or 4.5 tons in the game.)
– Does not have a connection for a power line. (Accordingly, it only provides a connection within a 500-meter square.)
– Slightly pollutes the environment. (1.2 tons per year.)
Recommended for providing electricity to small industrial enterprises located far from centralized power sources, for workers’ settlements, construction camps and expeditionary.
Not recommended for continuous use with a high load.
Also (for reasons beyond my control) it didn’t work as a backup power source a couple of times. I destroyed it down, rebuilt – and it works. I can’t figure out the logic yet, but it seems to be somehow related to the construction order.
