Abstract: A generator system for operation of at least one generator and at least one breaker includes an interface, a database, and a generator controller. The interface is configured to receive an architecture for the generator system. The database includes at least one generator parameter and at least one breaker parameter. The generator controller is configured to determine generator layouts from the architecture for the generator system. The generator controller determines a generator system command based on a comparison of the generator layouts, the at least one generator parameter, and the at least one breaker parameter.

Abstract: An electrical power generator system may include two or more paralleled generators. At least one of the generators includes a first power source and a second power source. A disconnection of a first power source is identified at a generator controller of one of the generators. The generator controller may be configured to access or generate a power failure message indicative of the disconnection of the first power source. The generator controller may be configured to transmit the power failure message using the second power source because the second power source is switched to the generator controller in response to the disconnection of the first power source. The system may enter a communication failure handling mode based on the power failure message.

Abstract translation: 发电机系统可以包括两个或多个并联的发电机。 发电机中的至少一个包括第一电源和第二电源。 在其中一个发电机的发电机控制器处识别出第一电源的断开。 发电机控制器可以被配置为访问或产生指示第一电源断开的电源故障消息。 发电机控制器可以被配置为使用第二电源发送电力故障消息，因为响应于第一电源的断开而将第二电源切换到发电机控制器。 系统可以基于电源故障消息进入通信故障处理模式。
