SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING A NETWORK TO CONTROL MULTIPLE POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Some embodiments relate to a method a method of using a network which to control multiple power management systems. The method includes using the network to access multiple generator controllers where each generator controller operates an internal combustion engine driven generator that is part of a respective power management system. Each respective power management system includes an automatic transfer switch that is configured to receive power from the internal combustion engine driven generator and a primary power source. In some embodiments, using the network to access multiple generator controllers includes using a server on the network to access multiple generator controllers. The method further includes using the network to exchange communications with the generator controller in each of the multiple power management systems in order permit the generator controllers to exercise the internal combustion driven generators in each of the respective power management systems.
