Generators and alternators and Internal combustion engines and gensets

Energy flows from internal combustion engines and gensets to generators and alternators; their prices have moved together.

Generators and alternators (energy) and Internal combustion engines and gensets (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 1.3% of flow · Internal combustion engines and gensets → Generators and alternators

Diesel and gas engines turn gensets.

• 1.3% of Internal combustion engines and gensets's energy goes this way

2. Price link: combined product

Cost and price · Strong · Both ways

Diesel and gas gensets pair an engine with a generator, and both are made by similar machinery firms. Monthly moves correlate at 0.30, and yearly moves more strongly, reflecting shared US manufacturing costs and the same industrial demand cycle.

• 0.30 monthly change correlation
• 0.73 12-month change correlation
• 0.51 fitted elasticity
