Abstract: A system includes a genset having an engine, an AC generator, and a radiator thermally coupled to the engine. The system includes an electric variable speed fan having an outlet flow, where the outlet flow passes at least partially through the radiator. The system includes a controller structured to functionally execute certain operations for cooling the genset. The controller interprets a genset identification parameter and selects a cooling algorithm from a predetermined set of cooling algorithms according to the genset identification parameter. The controller further interprets genset operating conditions according to the cooling algorithm, and provides a cooling fan command in response to the genset operating conditions and the cooling algorithm. The electric variable speed fan is responsive to the cooling fan command.

Abstract: The present invention provides an engine coupled to a generator, the generator being in communication with an automatic voltage regulator. The automatic voltage regulator has an integrated field flash circuit. Further, a controller may be in communication with the field flash circuit and the controller may control an output of the field flash circuit.

Abstract: A mobile electric power generation system includes a variable speed generator, an engine to drive the generator, a DC bus coupled to the generator, an inverter coupled between the DC bus and an electrical power bus in the vehicle, an electrical energy storage device coupled to the DC bus, an operator interface including a display and several operator input devices, and operating logic executed by a processor. One operator input device is used to initiate an automatic mode of operation of the system. The operating logic is structured to activate both the generator and the inverter during the automatic mode. Another operator input device is selected to initiate a manual mode of operation. The operating logic is responsive to one input to change activation of the generator and to another to change activation of the inverter.
