Generator management system and method that selectively activate at least one of a plurality of generators in a power generation system

A method of operating a plurality of generators, the method comprising:

• comparing a primary operating parameter of each of the plurality of generators;
• determining a first order to operate the plurality of generators based on the comparison of the primary operating parameters when the primary operating parameter of each of the plurality of generators are not equal;
• operating the plurality of generators according to the first order until the primary operating parameter of the plurality of generators is equalized;
• comparing a secondary operating parameter of each of the plurality of generators when the primary operating parameter of each of the plurality of generators are equal;
• and
• determining a second order to operate the plurality of generators based on the comparison of the secondary operating parameters when the primary operating parameter of each of the plurality of generators are equal.
