From a technical point of view, this is a complicated issue that allows for parallel operation of power generators, which consists in synchronizing parameters such as rotational speed, frequency, spin direction and, above all, on the perfect timing of sine wave voltages.
From the point of view of the user and potential user, the synchronization of generators - that is, the combination of several generators to provide power for 1 receiver - carries specific economic and ecological values.

From a technical point of view, this is a complicated issue that allows for parallel operation of power generators, which consists in synchronizing parameters such as rotational speed, frequency, spin direction and, above all, on the perfect timing of sine wave voltages.
From the point of view of the user and potential user, the synchronization of generators - that is, the combination of several generators to provide power for 1 receiver - carries specific economic and ecological values.
What is the easiest way to tell about the synchronization of 2 generators and n*generators?
Imagine that your company's demand for active power is 200 kW. You need a guaranteed power system, so you buy a generator with a light power reserve, say 220 kW.
When there is no power from the mains, you turn off part of the lights, air conditioning, usually you do not start parts of the machines, although it happens that every or almost every element must work.
Or let's change the situation, your company took 60 kW 2 years ago and you have a 70 kW generator, but the situation has gained momentum and now your electricity demand is spikes to 200.
Or you have several field branches, each in the absence of power from the network is able to limit their demand to 40 kW. Although it also happens that all available power might need to be transported to the headquarters.
In any such situation, there is a solution that does not require the replacement of the generator set for a larger one and does not entail greater, often unjustified fuel combustion or unnecessary costs associated with the purchase of high-power power generators. This solution allows to use only part of the available power (and what is associated with it - lower operating costs), and when there is a need to smoothly turn on an additional energy source with the same voltage characteristics - that is, an additional source of electricity available for simultaneous use for the same group of receivers.
What is it and what does the synchronization of power generators give?
First of all, we can synchronize any number of different or similar generators, so far we have synchronized 40 units for separate work or in any configuration.
Each synchronized generator set must have a special controller - which we can mount in almost any power generator, at any time of its life cycle.
Generators for synchronization can have different power, motors, generators, etc., we synchronize voltage, frequency and several other parameters, regardless of the generator manufacturer.
Synchronization allows for a "reserve" of electricity from the second unit available for use by even 1 receiver (e.g. a specialized machine with an engine with a high demand for electricity).
Synchronization of power generators is a redundant power system and can be used, for example, in the case of a higher basic load of the power generator.
Synchronization is the ability to run one or more power generators as a single power source. Here, the operating cost calculation is simple: we can start one low-capacity engine, and if necessary, another will automatically start - so there is no problem to maintain the operation of the high-volume engine in the event of low use of electricity.
Synchronized generators can be easily transported to the location with the most key electricity demand and simply connected to the most important receiver.
If you are renting power generators, it is better to have several synchronized small generators than one large one. You can rent smaller ones, and the offer also may include a more powerful generator, consisting of several synchronized. Transport and loading are also not such a problem... but you probably know about it, since you typed in the search engine “Generator synchronization” :)
