Abstract
A system designed to optimize fuel efficiency of a power grid includes a set of controllable generators designed to supply power to the power grid. Each generator in the set is associated with a controller, a set of loads designed to draw power from the power grid, and a grid controller designed to provide a load partitioned configuration for the set of controllable generators, based at least partly on the power draw of the set of loads.
