That is way over my head, I’d assume there has to be some sophisticated trimming of fuel there. We paralleled generators in the Army, but I didn’t have anything to do with it.
In Camp Doha Kuwait, there were I Believe four locomotive sized generators, usually only one or two would be run though, and that was actually an Air Force base.
It was a “force Provider” set up. Which is really well thought out.
