Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a generator set comprising a first engine, an output terminal coupled to a power distributor, and an intake blower coupled to an intake of the first engine having one or more sensors configured to output data representing at least one of oxygen levels and methane content;
a load comprising two or more sub-loads, wherein each of the sub-loads is coupled to the power distributor via one or more respective electrical contactors; and
a controller that is communicably coupled to the electrical contactors and the generator set, the controller comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing one or more sequences of computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute:
determining a number of sub-loads that are available;
receiving data in real time representing a then-current power generation of the generator set;
determining which of the available sub-loads to connect to balance the generator set to the load based on the at least on the data output from the one or more sensors and the then-current power generation of the generator set; and
controlling respective electrical contactors of the determined sub-loads to provide electricity to the determined sub-loads.
