Abstract:
1. A control device for a generator driven by a prime mover, said prime mover comprising a prime mover speed indicator capable of generating a signal indicative of the prime mover speed, said generator, coupled with one or more electrical loads, comprising a generator output power controller capable of manipulating an output power of the generator, said control device comprising: a processor, including a programming code operable on the processor, coupled with the generator output power controller and the prime mover speed indicator; wherein said processor is configured to measure a rate of change in speed of the prime mover, via a first line, and to vary the output power of the generator by applying a speed-control signal to the generator output power controller, via a second line, according to said rate of change regardless of electrical power required by the one or more electrical loads.
