摘要

A parallel generator system having at least one controller using selective load reduction for load share balancing, and a method for using selective load reduction for load share balancing in a parallel generator system.

1. A parallel generator system having a service life and including:
a system bus adapted for connection to an electrical load; a plurality of generator units electrically connectable in parallel to the system bus, each generator unit active when providing electrical power to the system bus, various ones of the generator units being selectively active or inactive during the system service life; and a plurality of controllers; wherein a portion of the electrical load of an active generator unit is incrementally transferred to another active generator unit by a controller on the basis of an indication that the loads of the active generator units are disallowably unbalanced, whereby load share balancing among the plurality of generator units occurs over the system service life.
