5 Reasons Why You Need A Custom Built Generator
What Exactly is Loadshedding?
Loadshedding, also known as rolling blackouts, refers to the intentional reduction or disconnection of electricity supply to certain areas in order to prevent a complete blackout of the electricity grid. In South Africa, loadshedding has been implemented by the state-owned utility company, Eskom, due to a combination of aging infrastructure, financial mismanagement, and a lack of new electricity generation capacity.
The effects of loadshedding on the South African economy have been significant. In 2019, the country experienced its worst levels of loadshedding since the 2008 financial crisis, with the blackouts costing an estimated R26 billion in lost economic output.
The effects of loadshedding on businesses have been particularly severe. Many businesses have had to rely on expensive backup generators to keep their operations running during blackouts, which has reduced their profitability and competitiveness. In addition, the uncertainty surrounding when loadshedding will occur has made it difficult for businesses to plan and execute operations, leading to reduced productivity and efficiency.
The effects of loadshedding on households have also been significant. Many households rely on electricity for essential services such as lighting, cooking, and heating, and the disruption caused by blackouts can be inconvenient and disruptive. In addition, the cost of purchasing and maintaining backup generators can be a burden for households, particularly for those on low incomes.
Overall, the effects of loadshedding on the South African economy have been negative, leading to reduced economic growth, increased costs for businesses and households, and reduced competitiveness.
Specialized Generator Manufacture
Specialized generator manufacture refers to the production of generators that are designed and built for a specific application or use case. This is our bread and butter within the industry!
The generators we build are tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of our clients, and are built using high-quality components and materials to ensure optimal performance and durability. Specialized generators may be designed to operate at specific voltages, frequencies, or power outputs, and may include additional features or modifications to meet the specific needs of the application.
We at Devcopower have a deep understanding of the specific use case for which our generators are intended, and are able to provide expert guidance and support to ensure that the generator is properly sized and configured for the intended use.
The Benefits
Some benefits of specialized generators include:
1. Improved performance
Specialized generators are designed and built specifically for a particular application, which means that they are optimized to perform at their best in that specific environment. This can result in improved efficiency and reliability, as the generator is not trying to perform outside of its designed capabilities.
2. Customization
Specialized generators can be customized to meet the specific needs and requirements of the user. This can include modifications to the size, power output, and other features to ensure that the generator is able to meet the specific needs of the application.
3. Expert support
Specialized generator manufacturers typically have a deep understanding of the specific use case for which their generators are intended. As a result, they are able to provide expert guidance and support to ensure that the generator is properly sized and configured for the intended use.
4. Quality materials
Specialized generators are typically built using high-quality components and materials, which can result in improved durability and a longer lifespan.
5. Energy savings
Depending on the application, specialized generators may be able to provide energy savings by operating more efficiently and using advanced technologies.
