Abstract: A generator system may include two or more generators electrically connected through a generator bus. A controller receives operation data from a first generator. The operation data may describe a power flow from a second generator to the first generator. From the operation data, either a loss of speed control or a loss of voltage control may be identified at the second generator. The controller may generate a command for the second generator based on the loss of speed control or the loss of voltage control.

Abstract: A fuel delivery system may be utilized in an internal combustion engine or a generator engine. The fuel delivery system includes a fuel injector and a venturi. The venturi provides a force for delivering the fuel into the manifold of the engine, and the fuel injector provides metering to control the amount of fuel delivered into the manifold of the engine. In one example, the fuel delivery system includes a first chamber configured to enclose a gaseous fuel, a second chamber configured to direct a flow of air through the venturi, and a plunger. The plunger is controlled to selectively connect and disconnect the first chamber and the second chamber to control the flow of the gaseous fuel into the second chamber under a differential pressure of the venturi.

Abstract: Torque is balanced among generators in a system of parallel generators. Control of the generators may be performed by one or more individual generator controllers or by a centralized controller. The torque on two or more generators is detected. The controller calculates a torque target based on the torque on the two generators or other operating characteristics of the system. The operation of at least one of the generators is controlled based on the torque target.

Abstract: A set of generators are connected in parallel using a generator bus. At least one of the generators is associated with a controller. The controller detects an overload condition on the generator bus caused by a load and disconnects an initial generator from the generator bus in response to the overload condition. The initial generator continues to run during the overload condition after disconnecting from the generator bus but alternator excitation may be removed from the initial generator. The controller initiates starting one or more additional generator without alternator excitation. The controller also initiates connecting the initial generator and the one or more additional generators to the generator bus connected to the load. Alternator excitation is applied to the initial generator and the one or more additional generator so that adequate power may be applied to the load.

Abstract: A system and method for paralleling generators is described. A timing signal indicative of a waveform reference point of at least a first generator of the generators is received at a second generator. The receiving generator determines a closing time for a second generator breaker associated with the second generator in response the timing signal from the first generator. The first generator breaker and the second generator breaker, or an aggregated generator breaker is closed to a bus at the closing time.
