ABSTRACT:
A method for synchronizing multiple generators includes positioning a pilot feature of a shaft of a first generator positioned at a first angular position that is substantially aligned with a first predetermined reference point located at a predetermined angular position relative to an axis, locking the shaft of the first generator at the first angular position, aligning a pilot feature of a first shaft of a second generator with a second angular position that is substantially aligned with a second predetermined reference point located at a position relative to the axis that is substantially equal to the predetermined angular position, calculating an angular difference between the two angular positions, and rotating a second shaft splined with the first shaft of the second generator about the axis in another direction, based on the calculated angular difference.
