Abstract
A parallel generator system wherein a portion of the electrical load of at least one generator unit is incrementally transferred to at least one other generator unit by the controller on the basis of an indication that the operating stresses of the generator units are disallowably unbalanced, whereby load share balancing tending towards equalization of operating stresses amongst the plurality of generator units occurs over the system service life. Also, a method for load share balancing in a parallel generator system which determines whether the operating stress levels of at least two generator units are disallowably unbalanced by comparing operating stress indicators of the generator units with that of a master generator unit, and incrementally transferring portions the electrical load between at least two generator units on the basis of the comparative evaluation, whereby load share balancing occurs tending to equalize the generator unit operating stress levels.
