- The present disclosure relates to an interface, and more particularly, to an interface for a system for generating electric power.
- It may be desirable to generate electric power, for example, in situations in which electric power is not available from an electric power utility source, for example, in remote locations and/or locations experiencing a power outage. This may be accomplished, for example, using electric power generation systems that are configured to generate electric power via operation of one or more internal combustion engines to drive an electric machine configured to convert mechanical energy supplied by the one or more engines into electric power.
- The user of such power generating systems may desire to monitor the status of the power generating systems from a location exterior to the power generating system. Moreover, it may be desirable to control the power generating system from an exterior location, such as, for example, the location of the systems and/or devices that will receive the electric power being supplied by the power generating system. For example, if a system for generating electric power is used to supply electric power to a building or group of buildings, it may be desirable to control the power generating system via controls associated with the one or more buildings. Further, it may be desirable to coordinate operation of more than one power generation system supplying power to an end user. As a result, it may be desirable to provide the power generating system with an interface for facilitating control and/or monitoring of the status of the power generating system(s) from a location exterior to the power generating system(s).
- A mobile power generation system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,765,304 issued to Baten et al. (“the '304 patent”). The '304 patent discloses a mobile power generation system including a main trailer having an engine and an electric generator turned by the engine. The system of the '304 patent further includes an air filtration trailer having air filtration equipment, an exhaust trailer having part of an exhaust silencing system for reducing engine output noise, and an auxiliary trailer having equipment for use during operation of the engine. The '304 patent does not disclose, however, an interface for controlling operation and/or monitoring the status of a power generation system from exterior to the power generation system.
- The systems and methods described in an exemplary manner in the present disclosure may be directed to mitigating or overcoming one or more of the drawbacks set forth above.
- In one aspect, the present disclosure includes an interface for facilitating at least one of control and monitoring of a system for generating electric power, the system including a control panel. The interface may include a compartment configured to be operably associated with a housing defining an interior at least partially containing the system for generating electric power. The interface may further include at least one electrical connector contained within the compartment and an access panel operably associated with the compartment. The access panel may be configured to facilitate selective access to an interior of the compartment from an exterior of the housing. The at least one electrical connector may be configured to be coupled to an electric line electrically connected to the control panel and an electric line extending to a location exterior to the housing.
- According to a further aspect, a system for generating electric power may include an engine configured to output mechanical power and an electric machine configured to convert mechanical power into electric power. The electric machine may be operably coupled to the engine. The system may further include a control panel configured to facilitate control of at least one of the engine and the electric machine, and a housing configured to contain at least one of the engine and the electric machine. The housing may include at least one wall configured to define at least an exterior of the housing. The system may also include an interface operably associated with the at least one wall, the interface being configured to facilitate operable connection, to the control panel, of electric wires and/or power cables extending exterior of the housing.
