Abstract:
1. A method for selecting operating conditions of a genset, the genset comprising an engine coupled to an electrical power generator, the genset having a plurality of operating points each comprising an engine speed value and a generator electrical power output value, and having a plurality of cost values associated with operating the genset at respective operating points, the method comprising: selecting a set of operating points from the plurality of operating points such that a sum of cost values associated with operating points in said set is minimized and such that the engine speed values of the operating points in said set increase or decrease monotonically as a function of the generator electrical power output values of the operating points in said set.
