The present invention provides an arbitrage control system for two or more available power sources () that enables the automatic or manual control of one or more multi-source systems () to take advantage of price differentials across commodities, locations and/or time. The present invention selects a power source for a device or delivery point () from two or more available power sources () by analyzing market and operational data (). A power source (or) for the device or delivery point () is then selected from the two or more available power sources () based on a set of financial parameters (). If the device or delivery point () is not already connected to the selected power source, one or more signals are sent () to switch the device or delivery point () to the selected power source. The arbitrage controller () includes a user interface (), market interface (), multi-source interface (), database () and processor (). The processor () is communicably coupled to the user interface (), the market interface (), the multi-source interface () and the database ().

Arbitrage control system for two or more available power sources

The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for a redundant prime mover system to drive a machine having an engine coupled to the machine, and a motor/generator coupled to the machine and an electrical network connection. The controller operates the engine and the motor/generator in three or four operating modes. The first operating mode drives the machine with the engine. The second operating mode drives the machine with the motor/generator. The third operating mode drives the machine and the motor/generator with the engine such that the motor/generator generates electricity for delivery to the electrical network connection. Alternatively, the third operating mode drives the machine with both the engine and the motor/generator. This alternate operating mode can also be included as a fourth operating mode.
