1. A generator control system comprising:
- a multiple of generators each having a controller for controlling at least one generator load characteristic of an associated generator;
a digital signal processor within each controller for determining said at least one generator load characteristic; and
a communications link between all controllers for communicating said at least one generator characteristic to all controllers wherein each controller compares said at least one generator load characteristic to at least one system load characteristic and generates a control signal to adjust a control mechanism of the associated generator when said at least one generator load characteristic varies from said at least one system load characteristic by a predetermined amount.

Abstract
The present invention is a generator control system where each generator in the system has an associated controller. Each controller communicates generator data or information with the other controllers in the generator control system. Each of the controllers includes a digital signal processor for analyzing the generator signal from the associated generator and information from the other controllers in the generator control system. The controllers each compare their generator signal with a system average and adjust the associated generator until the generators all supply equal amounts of power to the system.
