Abstract
A system for controlling power in a facility having an electrical system including a generator and an associated fuel tank. The fuel tank provides fuel to the generator and has a gauge indicating remaining fuel. The generator is electrically connected to the electrical system. A first power consuming device imposes a first load connected to the electrical system of the facility and second power consuming device imposes a second load connected to the electrical system of the facility. The system receives information related to the loads and calculates an initial estimated run time of the generator given the remaining quantity of fuel and information related to the first load and information related to the second load. The system selectively removes the second load in a simulation and calculates a second run time of the generator given the remaining quantity of fuel and information related to the first load.
