Abstract:
1. A method of calibrating a genset controller, comprising: generating electric power; monitoring the electric power at a first location; measuring the electric power at a second location; making a first comparison of a value of the electric power monitored at the first location with a value of the electric power measured at a second location when the electric power has desired values; determining a monitoring offset error based on the first comparison; calculating a first calibration factor that accounts for the monitoring offset error; affecting future monitoring based on the first calibration factor; generating electric power having a known low voltage level and a known high voltage level; making a second comparison of a value of the electric power monitored at the first location with a value of the electric power measured at a second location when the electric power has the low and high voltage levels; and determining a monitoring scale error based on the second comparison; wherein making a first comparison and determining a monitoring offset error are done by one or more processors.
