Dagartech highlights the characteristics that generator sets must have to meet the needs of large scale events
Have you ever wondered how the energy supply of large events is guaranteed? Whether sporting events, concerts, or even the Oscars Award Gala, any large scale event must have the presence of generator sets to act as the main power supply if the energy needs of the event are so high that the electrical infrastructure cannot cover them, or because the event is held in a place with limited or non-existent access to the electrical grid.
Generator sets can also be necessary for guaranteeing the electricity supply in case of potential failures or outages of the grid in permanent installations.
For this reason, Dagartech, a company specialised in offering customised energy solutions, highlights the main characteristics of this type of generator, proposing the most suitable solutions depending on the location and nature of the event.
Safe, quiet energy with low environmental impact
Generator sets are machines which transform the heat energy of an internal combustion engine into mechanical energy, and finally into electrical energy, through an alternator, or in other words, an alternating electrical current generator. These machines become invisible assets in numerous applications, such as hospitals, factories, numerous public spaces and various types of events.
Regardless of whether intended for mobile or stationary use, any generator dedicated to events is characterised by two common features: reliability and rigorous noise control. Below, it is explained how generator sets for events are made reliable and especially quiet.
The reliability of these generators is achieved in two ways. Firstly, commitment to offering a high quality product, incorporating components from top brands. It is also achieved by relying on generator set manufacturers that have proven experience and that integrate quality in all their processes.
Additionally, the sound levels of these generators are between 60 and 70 dB(A) at 7 metres. This is largely due to the interior soundproofing of the devices, with treatment of the engine noise (mechanical forces and combustion), ventilator, mechanical noise of the alternator, induction noise, exhaust and other structural noises. These sound levels can be reduced by up to 3 dB(A) more with the incorporation of super soundproofing kits.
It must be emphasised that Dagartech generator sets for events have noise levels lower than the market average, therefore offering a first class solution for this type of application. In this regard, all generator sets are certified in accordance with the regulations of the ISO 900:2015 standard.
In addition to these two features is a third, whose importance has increased in recent times: low environmental impact which is required of “mobile generators” – those whose lifespan may take place in different locations.
The importance of energy efficiency also extends to stationary machines; that is, generators installed permanently in one location for backup power. In fact, there are already unique installations in large cities where demand has emerged for generator sets with low environmental impact engines which comply with the requirements of EU directive 2016/1628. This directive, better known as EU Stage V or Euro V, came into effect on the 1st of January 2017, and has imposed new and stricter limits on emissions, as it introduced control of particulate matter and expanded the scope of application to new power segments, affecting all engines installed in non-road mobile machinery.

Despite generators for events having shared features, the final application and whether this installation will be maintained over time or temporary are key aspects that will define the architecture and features of the device.
In a simplified form, two types of generator sets can be distinguished which provide support to events or installations specially dedicated to holding them.
Mobile generator sets for events
These are commonly known as generator sets for hire, as they are particularly intended for use by machinery rental companies that provide coverage for all types of events are affected by strict emissions requirements of the EU Stage V directive.
These devices are characterised by their particular robustness, as they are machines that are installed outdoors and under extreme conditions of dust and moisture. Additionally, they must endure constant changes of location.
Among other features, generator sets for events include high performance filters, permanent magnets in the alternator and bases of different configurations. They may also incorporate different monitoring and control modules and approved wheels that facilitate their relocation.

Stationary generator sets for equipping facilities for holding events
These generators remain in the corresponding location permanently and are designed to act occasionally in emergency situations, thus being widely known as emergency generator sets.
Their features vary, based on the requirements of the location.
