Abstract
A multi-unit power generation system comprising a plurality of generators connected in parallel, a switching system for switching between and/or aggregating a generator load produced by the plurality of generators and a utility grid load, and a control system. The control system is in communication with each generator for communicating command signals to each generator. The control system is further in communication with the switching system for commanding the switching system to switch between or aggregate the generator load and the utility grid load. Each generator may comprise, for example, a microturbine generator.
