Problem Solved
Traditional generator systems often lack efficient control mechanisms, leading to unnecessary fuel consumption and limited adaptability in power distribution. This can result in increased operational costs and reduced generator lifespan, particularly when powering critical devices that require consistent energy supply.
Core Features
This invention introduces a generator control system that optimizes power distribution between a critical device and other devices. It includes a generator control module, a first device control module, and a sensor to monitor operating parameters. The system operates in three modes: normal, first tier, and extreme reserve (ER), adjusting power use based on generator capacity.
Inventive Step
The novel aspect of this invention is its dynamic mode-switching capability based on real-time data from the generator and sensors. By entering different operational modes, the system can reduce power to non-critical devices and manage generator operation efficiently, conserving fuel and ensuring critical devices remain powered.
Benefits
This system enhances fuel efficiency, reduces operational costs, and extends generator life. It ensures critical devices maintain optimal performance, even under limited power conditions, by dynamically adjusting power distribution.
Broader Impact
The invention can significantly improve energy management in industries relying on generators, contributing to sustainability by reducing fuel consumption and emissions. It also offers potential applications in remote or off-grid locations, enhancing energy reliability and efficiency.
