Generator management system that determines a time to activate and deactivate generators based on the load level

摘要

Some embodiments relate to a generator management system 10. The generator management system 10 includes a first generator 11 and a second generator 13. A bus 15 connects at least one of the first generator 11 and the second generator 13 to a load L. A control 16 determines a time delay to (i) connect the first generator 11 and the second generator 13 to the bus 15; and/or (ii) disconnect the first generator 11 and second generator 13 from the bus 15. The control 16 varies the time delay based on the load L supplied by the first generator 11 and the second generator 13.

1. A generator management system comprising:
a first generator: a second generator; a bus that connects the first generator and the second generator to a load; and a control that determines a time delay to connect the first generator and second generator to the bus and disconnect the first generator and second generator from the bus, wherein the control continuously monitors the instantaneous load supplied by the first generator and the second generator and varies the time delay based on the monitored instantaneous load supplied, wherein the control determines the time delay to connect the first generator and second generator to the bus and disconnect the first generator and second generator from the bus based on a relationship between the load supplied by any of the connected first generator and second generator and a set point stored in the control.
