Customer Case Study: How to Choose the Right Generator  

Customer Needs:  

A rural household engaged in fish farming faced frequent power outages, which posed significant risks to their operations. Seeking a self-sufficient power solution, they needed guidance on selecting a suitable generator for home and aquaculture use.  

1. Analyzing Power Requirements  

- Voltage/Frequency: Standard household power supply (230V/50Hz).  

- Primary Load: Fish pond aerators (critical for oxygen supply).  

  - Power Calculation: 1–1.5 kW per acre × 10-acre pond = 10–15 kW total.  

- Location: Northern China mountains, with large day-night temperature variations but moderate altitude.  

2. Generator Options Comparison  

| Type       | Pros                          | Cons                          |  

|----------------|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|  

| Gasoline   | - Lighter, easier to start        | - Higher fuel cost (gasoline)     |  

|                |                                   | - Complex maintenance (oil changes, spark plugs, fuel system cleaning) |  

| Diesel     | - Lower fuel cost (diesel)        | - Noisier operation               |  

|                | - Simpler maintenance (no spark plugs, durable) |                                   |  

Recommendation:  

- 10–15 kW Diesel Generator (e.g., [Your Model Name]).  

  - Why? Cost-effective fuel, lower long-term maintenance, and robust performance for continuous aerator operation.  

  - Features to Prioritize:  

    - Electric Start (+$100–200): Ensures effortless operation.  

    - Wheels & Handle: Portable for multi-pond use.  

3. Why Not Larger Capacity?  

- Higher upfront cost (over 15 kW) without proportional benefits for this scale.
