Abstract
An on-demand electric power system for providing on-demand electric power in remote locations. The on-demand electric power system generally includes a protective housing, an engine-generator within the protective housing, a control switch electrically positioned between the engine-generator and an electric load, and a control unit in communication with the engine-generator and the control switch to control operation of the engine-generator along with electrical power to the electric load. The control unit detects when electrical power is required by an electric load and then first starts the engine-generator. After a period of time, the control unit then closes the control switch to provide electrical power to the electric load.
