Abstract
A method for controlling power generation equipment, including bringing a generator online into a shared power bus environment, is described. The method includes determining whether the shared power bus is currently active, and whether a voltage determination fault is present with respect to a specific generator. Where the shared power bus is inactive and no fault is present, the generator is brought online in response to a load request. Where the shared power bus is active, the generator is synchronized with the shared power bus before the generator is brought online.
