Abstract
Systems and methods of managing an engine-driven electric generator. An example method may include populating an efficiency database with fuel provided and electrical power output data for the engine-driven electric generator. The method may also include receiving a desired electrical power output of the engine-driven electric generator. The method may also include adjusting fuel provided to the engine-driven electric generator to generate the desired electrical power output using the efficiency database.
Claims20
A method of managing an engine-driven electric generator, comprising:
- populating an efficiency database with fuel provided to an engine and electrical power output data from the engine-driven electric generator;
- receiving a desired electrical power output of the engine-driven electric generator;
- and
- adjusting fuel provided to the engine-driven electric generator to generate the desired electrical power output using the efficiency database.
A system for managing an engine-driven electric generator, comprising:
- an efficiency calculator configured to populate an efficiency database with fuel provided and electrical power output data for efficient operation of the engine-driven electric generator;
- and
- a controller configured to issue a new set point for fuel provided to the engine-driven electric generator for efficient operation while generating the desired electrical power output.
A system for managing an engine-driven electric generator, comprising:
- means for storing fuel data and electrical power output data for the engine-driven electric generator;
- means for receiving a desired electrical power output of the engine-driven electric generator;
- and
- means for using the efficiency database to dynamically adjust fuel provided to generate the desired electrical power output while optimizing fuel efficiency of the engine-driven electric generator.
