Some issues:
Short circuit on load sharing lines paralyses load control
(but gensets resort to independent droop mode operation. not fatal).
J
Todays speed control units do not have galvanically isolated load sharing
lines. A voltage induction could (in theory) knock out the speed controllers.

Interaction Between Speed Control and
External Systems (PMS, etc.)
Remember:
Speeding up the PMS update (control) rate does not increase system
response. (It rather makes it unstable).

BMEP
By definition, the mean pressure on the piston
calculated over the entire cycle.

Example:
Vesslefrikk -1985: 12V32BC, BMEP = 20.1 bar
Deepwater Horizon -2000: 18V32LNE, BMEP = 24.0 bar
a-value
Indicates the acceleration properties of a rotating mass
(e.g. alternator)
