What factors will affect the quotation of diesel generators

June 01, 2022
Many people know that there are many brands of diesel generators. Due to the different brands, the quotations of various generators of the same power are also very different. When many consumers choose to buy, they can buy wherever they like it at the cheapest price. This kind of thinking is wrong. . Of course, the price gap of different brands of diesel generators is very large. The actual gap is not only because of the brand, quality and various internal accessories. The main factor that widens the price gap of generators.

       Many people know that there are many brands of diesel generators. Due to the different brands, the quotations of various generators of the same power are also very different. When many consumers choose to buy, they can buy wherever they like it at the cheapest price. This kind of thinking is wrong. . Of course, the price gap of different brands of diesel generators is very large. The actual gap is not only because of the brand, quality and various internal accessories. The main factor that widens the price gap of generators.
 
       After a long period of exploration and data comparison, we found that in the price composition of a diesel generator, the price of the engine generally accounts for about 80% of the total cost, and the generator, control system and auxiliary system account for 20% of the total cost. At the same time, the "three major components" of the diesel generator engine, generator and control system also have different selection and combination methods. For example, the generator, engine, control system and auxiliary system of a complete set of imported brand diesel generator sets all use the same imported brand; Diesel engines, engines, and control systems for domestically assembled diesel generator sets are purchased from different brands, and then assembled by domestic manufacturers. For example, the generator adopts imported brand or joint venture brand, the engine adopts domestic brand Yuchai, Shangchai, Weichai, etc., and the control system adopts imported brand or domestic brand.
 
       From the perspective of specific price structure, the price of diesel generator project usually includes the following aspects: one is the cost of diesel generator set; the other is the cost of installation, transportation and commissioning of the unit; the third is the treatment of diesel generator exhaust gas and the obtaining of qualified monitoring reports. Cost, the fourth is the cost of noise reduction project and the cost of obtaining a qualified noise monitoring report (the noise reduction includes vibration reduction of the unit and the vibration reduction of the engine room); the fifth is the cost of the smoke pipe outside the machine room (according to the owner's requirements).
 
       1. Analysis of the price gap between the "three major components" of diesel generators
       1. Engine
       Taking the price of Mercedes-Benz, Perkins, Mitsubishi, General Dynamics, and Chongqing Cummins diesel generator brands with a common power of 1200kw as an example: the price of Mercedes-Benz engine is slightly higher than that of the other four brands, Perkins, Mitsubishi, General Dynamics, Chongqing Cummins engine The price is between 1 million and 1.2 million yuan, and the price of Mercedes-Benz engine is about 1.3 million yuan. The price of domestic first-line brands Yuchai, Shangchai, Weichai and Jichai is 15%-30% lower than that of joint venture and imported brands. On the other hand, due to the late start of domestic engine technology, there is still a certain gap with joint ventures and imported brands.
 
       2. Generator
       For example, the five commonly used generator brands of Shanghai Marathon, Guangzhou Yangjiang Yingge, Wuxi Stamford, and Fuzhou Leroy Somer are matched with 1200kw diesel generator sets. Their prices are all around 200,000 yuan, and the difference between the two is not much.
 
       3. Control system
       Because the generator and control system are relatively mature in technology, taking the commonly used controller brands "Zhongzhi", "Deep Sea" and "Korman" as examples, the price gap between each brand is very small, and the maximum price of a control system is also within 40,000 yuan.
 
       Second, the price difference of diesel generator sets with different supporting methods
       For example, the price of a diesel generator set with a common power of 1200kw is: the price of a 1200kw imported diesel generator set = the price of a 1200kw engine (imported or a joint venture) after matching *1.5 = the price of a 1200kw domestic first-line complete machine *2 (Note: The Chongqing Cummins machine with a common power of 1200kw has a lump-sum price of about 1.35 million)
