1. A Continuous Emission Monitoring System for fossil fuel based generators, the system comprising:
- an analyzer adapted to receive a sample flow and provide an output indicative of at least one constituent of the sample flow;
a sample handling system coupleable to an emission source and adapted to extract an emission sample from the sample source and provide the extracted emission sample to the sample analyzer; and
wherein the sample handling system is embodied within a single enclosure.

Abstract
A system for generating electricity includes a generator and an interface. The generator is coupled to the interface and provides data to the interface regarding electricity generation. The interface is coupled to a control node for monitoring and controlling the generator. The control node may be coupled to the generator through a medium such as the internet. In some aspects of the invention, a continuous emissions monitoring system is provided for fossil-fuel based generators to enhance operation and reduce emissions of such generators.
