System and method for increasing efficiency of gensets in micro-grid systems

This invention describes a way to make power generation more efficient in a small, self-contained electricity grid using multiple generators. It works by ensuring that the generators that are running are always working hard, at over 60% of their capacity, by only turning on the fewest generators needed to meet demand. When a generator needs to be started or stopped, an energy storage unit temporarily provides power to keep the system stable and synchronized.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in battery energy storage systems and power electronics made grid-scale synchronization and load balancing more practical and cost-effective.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModeratePower electronics, control software, energy storage
