Abstract:
1. A control system for coordinating operation of a power system comprising at least one generator and at least one controllable load supplied by the at least one generator, the control system comprising: a generator controller associated with each at least one generator and responsive to generator control parameters for controlling the at least one generator to achieve an overall generator output; a load controller associated with each at least one load and responsive to load control parameters for controlling the at least one load to achieve an overall load set-point; and a master system controller communicatively linked to the generator controller and the load controller and configured to coordinate operation of the at least one generator with the at least one load by generating the load control parameters to achieve the overall load set-point based on an operating characteristic of the at least one generator, and by generating the generator control parameters to achieve the overall generator output based on an operating characteristic of the at least one load.
