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