Abstract
Torque is balanced among generators in a system of parallel generators. Control of the generators may be performed by one or more individual generator controllers or by a centralized controller. The torque on two or more generators is detected. The controller calculates a torque target based on the torque on the two generators or other operating characteristics of the system. The operation of at least one of the generators is controlled based on the torque target.
