Diesel-fueled
generator sets (gen sets) are distributed power generation units that use
reciprocating internal combustion engines to produce usable energy from
gaseous fuels. Distributed generation has the advantage of going online more
quickly than traditional large centralized power stations, reducing demand
pressure on the electrical grid and reducing inefficiencies that are common in
centralized power generation, transmission, and distribution. As a source of
emergency standby, prime, or continuous power, diesel-fueled gen sets are
poised for continued growth in most regions and power classes but face
increasing competition from natural gas and dual-fuel configurations.
The number
of specialized segments within the gen set market spanning power classes,
applications, and end-user customers offers a rich ecosystem of opportunities
for market participants. As a whole, the market has experienced steady growth,
but a boom in unconventional gas resources and tightening regulations targeting
stationary generator emissions point to a turning point in the industry.
Navigant Research forecasts that diesel gen set installations will reach 82 GW
per year by 2018, instead of $198 billion in cumulative revenue between 2013
and 2018.
This
Navigant Research report analyzes the global market probable for diesel gen sets,
from less than 15 kW to 6 MW, for inhabited, commercial, and manufacturing
applications. The study includes in-depth assessments of global regions for
capacity installations, an analysis of global gas resource expansion, and
profiles of the key industry players unavailable in this market. Worldwide
market forecasts are provided through 2018 for annual installations and
revenue, segmented by region and by power class.
