Patent ID: 8143732

Claim:
A stationary genset power system, comprising: a combustion engine having an air inlet and an exhaust outlet and being configured to produce a mechanical output; a main generator driven by the combustion engine to convert a majority portion of the mechanical output to electricity directed to an external load; a turbine fluidly connected to the exhaust outlet of the combustion engine; a compressor operatively driven by the turbine to compress combustion air directed to the air inlet of the combustion engine, the turbine being oversized relative to the compressor such that the compressor may provide a desired amount of boost during rated conditions without consuming all of a mechanical power output from the turbine; a secondary generator operatively driven by the turbine to produce electricity directed to the external load; and a controller in communication with the main and second generators, the controller being configured to synchronize an electrical power output of the secondary generator with an electrical power output of the main generator prior to connection of the secondary generator to the external load.
