GEN-SET CONTROL SYSTEM HAVING PROACTIVE LOAD RELIEF

摘要

A Gen-Set (10) control system is disclosed. The control system has an engine (12) having a desired operating range and a generator (14) driven by the engine to produce an electrical power output. The control system also has an engine control module (30) communicatively coupled with the engine, and configured to change and operating parameter of the engine based on a load command before a load on the engine causes the engine to deviate from the desired operating range. The control system further has an automatic voltage regulator (32). The automatic voltage regulator is configured to monitor at least one of a voltage output, a current output, and a power factor of the generator and generate the load command based on a change in at least one of the voltage output, the current output, and the power factor. The automatic voltage regulator (32) is also configured to deliver the load command to the engine control module (30).
