Against the backdrop of the global energy transition and a surge in emergency power demand, Chinese high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises are leveraging technological innovation to accelerate their expansion into international markets. In July 2023, two KING POWER brand silent diesel generator sets (model KPG120R, with a rated power of 96KW/120KVA) were shipped from Shenzhen to Japan, marking that China's silent power generation equipment has reached an internationally leading level in terms of environmental performance, intelligent control, and modular design. This article will analyze the core value of this export from four dimensions: technical characteristics, export procedures, market adaptability, and industry trends.
The KING POWER KPG120R generator set employs a five-layer noise reduction technology of "vibration isolation - sound absorption - impedance - muffling - sealing":
Vibration isolation layer: High-performance rubber shock absorbers reduce mechanical vibration to 0.02mm/s⊃2;, a 60% reduction compared to traditional generator sets.
Sound absorption layer: Four layers of composite sound-absorbing cotton (with a density of 32kg/m³) cover the interior of the cabinet, achieving a 92% absorption rate for medium- and high-frequency noise.
Impedance layer: The labyrinth-style air intake and exhaust channel design reduces noise by deflecting the airflow. When the air intake volume reaches 1200m³/h, the noise level is only 68dB(A).
Muffling layer: The impedance composite exhaust muffler (with a diameter of 300mm and a length of 1.2m) suppresses exhaust noise to below 75dB(A).
Sealing layer: Double-layer tempered glass observation windows and airtight door structures, combined with an IP55 protection rating, ensure that the noise level at a distance of 1 meter is ≤72dB(A), meeting the noise limit requirements for residential areas in Japan's Basic Environment Law.
The generator set is equipped with a fully encapsulated AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) and an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) speed regulation system, enabling the following features:
Steady-state voltage fluctuation ≤ ±0.5% and a transient response time of less than 0.2 seconds, adapting to the dual-frequency (50Hz/60Hz) switching requirements of the Japanese power grid.
Remote monitoring module: Real-time transmission of data such as fuel consumption, water temperature, and voltage through an RS485 interface, supporting integration into Japanese customers' Energy Management Systems (EMS) via the MODBUS protocol.
Automatic start-up function: Automatically connects to the grid within 3 seconds after a mains power failure, ensuring continuous power supply for critical facilities such as hospitals and data centers.
Detachable cabinet: Constructed from high-strength galvanized steel plate拼接 (spliced) structures, with each piece weighing no more than 850kg, facilitating lifting in Japan's narrow sites.
Large-capacity fuel tank: The 120L base fuel tank supports continuous operation for 14.5 hours, reducing the refueling costs for Japanese customers.
Quick maintenance design: Side-opening inspection doors and top quick-release cover plates shorten routine maintenance time to 30 minutes per session.
According to Japan's Customs Tariff Law, diesel generator sets are classified under HS codes 85021100 (output power ≤ 75kVA) and 85021300 (output power > 75kVA). The KPG120R generator sets exported this time fall under 85021300 and require the following:
Certificate of origin: A FORM A certificate issued by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), enabling the享受 (enjoyment) of Japan's most-favored-nation tariff rate (3.8% customs duty).
Energy efficiency certification: Compliance with Japan's Energy Conservation Law TOP RUNNER standard (2023 version), with an actual measured fuel consumption rate of 272g/kWh, 8% lower than that of similar Japanese products.
Noise certification: Passing the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A8031-2015 test, with a noise level of 72dB(A) at a distance of 1 meter, better than the noise control standard in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo (75dB(A) during the day).
Packaging design: Using fumigation-free wooden boxes (with dimensions of 1700×850×1000mm) filled with EPE pearl cotton and air column bags, passing the ISTA 3A transportation test (2023 updated version).
Transportation route: Shipping from Yantian Port, Shenzhen to Tokyo Port (by sea, taking 12 days), using 40-foot high-cube (HC) containers, with each container loading 2 generator sets and accessories.
Customs clearance agent: Entrusting Nippon Express to handle customs duty prepayment, VAT withholding, and submission of JIS certification documents (in accordance with Japan's 2023 new customs regulations).
Japan is prone to earthquakes, with the 2023 Noto Peninsula earthquake causing power outages for over 500,000 households. The KING POWER generator sets excel in the following aspects:
Seismic design: The reinforced engine base brackets can withstand an earthquake intensity of 8 on the Japanese seismic scale, complying with Japan's Building Standard Law seismic standards.
Low-temperature start-up: Compatible with -35# diesel fuel, suitable for the severe cold environment in Hokkaido, and capable of starting within 30 seconds at -15°C (passing the extreme environment test conducted by the Japan Meteorological Agency).
Rapid deployment: Equipped with an integrated trailer steering system and braking device, complying with Japan's Road Transport Vehicle Law regulations for special equipment (revised in 2023).
Japan's Basic Energy Plan (2023 Revision) requires the proportion of renewable energy to increase to 36%-38% by 2030. The KING POWER generator sets achieve the following through:
Grid connection function: Supporting coordinated operation with photovoltaic and energy storage systems to achieve microgrid peak shaving (certified by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for microgrids).
Waste heat recovery: Optional configuration of flue gas waste heat boilers improves heating efficiency by 40%, meeting the energy efficiency requirements for industrial equipment in Japan's Energy Conservation Law (2023 strengthened version).
According to detailed data released by the China Electrical Equipment Industrial Association, which conducts in - depth market research and analysis on a regular basis, in the year 2023, China's diesel generator set export sector witnessed remarkable growth. The total value of diesel generator set exports from China soared to an impressive $3.85 billion. This figure represents a significant year - on - year increase of 12%, a clear indication of the expanding global demand for Chinese - made diesel generator sets.
Among the various types of diesel generator sets exported, silent models have emerged as a major driving force in the market. These silent models, which are designed with advanced noise - reduction technologies to meet the increasingly stringent environmental and noise - control requirements in different countries and regions, have gained wide popularity. They accounted for a substantial 35% of the total export volume of diesel generator sets in 2023. This proportion not only reflects the high market acceptance of silent diesel generator sets but also shows that Chinese manufacturers have made great strides in improving product quality and meeting international market needs.
The export of KING POWER silent diesel generator sets to Japan not only demonstrates the technical strength of China's high-end equipment manufacturing but also serves as a microcosm of "Made in China with Intelligence" deeply participating in the global energy transition. Against the backdrop of increasing trade facilitation between China and Japan under the RCEP framework, Chinese power generation equipment enterprises are using technological innovation as a spear and localized services as a shield to open up new growth poles in the global market. With the continuous growth in Japan's demand for renewable energy and emergency power supplies, such cooperation will become a model for complementary and win-win cooperation in the energy field between China and Japan.
