A generator set and control system

摘要

A generator set such as a mobile genset 10 having a battery pack 32 for the storage of electrical energy; a first outlet 48 for electrical energy; a second outlet 50 for electrical energy to be supplied from the battery pack; an electrical generator 16 configured to selectively supply electrical energy to the battery pack and to the first outlet; a prime mover such as diesel engine 15 arranged to drive the electrical generator; and a control system 52. The control system is configured to signal operation of the prime mover to seek to maintain state of charge of the battery pack within a desired range, but to provide at least some of the electrical energy supply to the first outlet in response to a demand from a load connected to the first outlet.
