DG stands for Diesel Generator.
_Working Principle:_
A diesel generator converts mechanical energy from a diesel engine into electrical energy.
1. The diesel engine burns diesel fuel to produce mechanical energy.
2. The mechanical energy is transferred to an alternator.
3. The alternator converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
