More Information
Summary:A method for controlling a genset system is provided. The method includes recognizing a communication failure between one or more gensets of a plurality of gensets and a control system and determining an operating state of each of the one or more gensets prior to the communication failure. The method further includes operating the genset system, upon communication failure, according to a load control scheme. The load control scheme includes determining an available power of the genset system based on the determined operating state of each of the one or more gensets and coupling one or more loads to the genset system based on the available power.
