Abstract
A hybrid electrical power generation system is providing for powering a power consuming system including first and second loads. The hybrid system includes first and second primary generator sets, a redundant generator set, and a utility connection. Each generator set includes an engine mechanically coupled to an electrical power generator. The first primary generator set is fueled by a first fuel and is configured to supply electrical power to the first load, and the second primary generator set is configured to supply electrical power to the second load. The redundant generator set is fueled by a second fuel and is configured to supply electrical power to at least one of the first and second loads. The utility connection is configured to supply electrical power from a utility power grid to the first and the second loads. A controller controls distribution of electrical power to the first and second loads.
