Abstract

A system includes a generator and a circuit. The generator is coupled to provide power to a power grid. The circuit is coupled to the generator and is adapted to use a scheme to detect a shut down of the power grid and prevent the generator from providing power to the power grid in response to the detection of the shut down of the power grid. The circuit is also adapted to receive an indication to modify the scheme and modify the scheme based on the indication.
