ABSTRACT:
A method of operating a power system is provided. The power system may have a plurality of generator sets and a power line. The method may include commanding a plurality of the generator sets that are disconnected from the power line to start generating electricity. The method may also include supplying to a control device acting as a coordinating control unit information about the operating state of each of the plurality of generator sets commanded to start generating electricity. Additionally, the method may include determining with the coordinating control unit which of the plurality of generator sets has become ready to supply electricity to the power line first. The method may also include initiating supply of electricity to the power line by first connecting to the power line the generator set that the coordinating control unit has determined to be the first ready to supply electricity.
