Abstract
A system for synchronizing an electrical generator to a reference power source, the system comprising: a first measurement unit configured to: measure a magnitude and a frequency of a first electrical power at a terminal of the reference power source; record first timing data indicative of the occurrence of predetermined variations of the first electrical power at the terminal of the reference power source; and transmit the first timing data and first measurement data comprising the measured magnitude and the measured frequency of the first electrical power; a second measurement unit configured to: receive the first measurement data; measure a magnitude and a frequency of a second electrical power at a terminal of the electrical generator; and record second timing data indicative of a present time; and a controller configured to adjust operational characteristics of the electrical generator based on the first timing data, the second timing data, the first measurement data, and second measurement data comprising the measured magnitude and the measured frequency of the second electrical power.
