There are many kinds of generating sets and they are classified into different sorts according to different standards.
1. Source of Motive Force
According to the source of motive force, there are diesel, gas, petrol, wind, solar power, water and coal-fired generating sets.
2. Transformation Way of Electric energy
There are alternating-current generator and direct-current generator according to the types of the electric energy transformed from other energies.
3. Excitation Mode
In accordance with the excitation modes, generators can be divided into the brush excitation generator and brushless excitation generator.
4. Suitable Place
Different generating sets are suitable for different places. In general, there are stationary generating set and marine generator set. Thereinto, stationary generating set includes universal, low-noise, canopy, mobile, communication, oil-field and gas generating sets.
