Abstract
A method includes determining, by a controller, a total emissions amount from a plurality of engines; comparing, by the controller, the total emissions amount to a predetermined threshold, wherein the predetermined threshold includes an alert value, an adjustment value, and a deactivation value, the deactivation value being greater than the adjustment value, which is greater than the alert value; deactivating, by the controller, at least one engine in response to the total emissions amount being at or greater than the deactivation value; adjusting, by the controller, operation of at least one engine in the plurality of engines in response to the total emissions amount being at or greater than the adjustment value but less than the deactivation value; and providing, by the controller, an alert in response to the total emissions amount being at or greater than the alert value but less than the adjustment value.
