Abstract

See full text

A standby power generation unit used to generate electrical power. The standby power unit may be connected to a combustible fuel source that supplies fuel to a combustion engine, which in turn powers an electrical generator. The unit may be installed in any structure requiring electricity or connected to any device or electrical circuit. For example, the unit may be connected to a service panel and configured to provide electricity to selected circuits of a structure or device. The unit can also be connected to the panel to provide continuous power to a limited number of circuits and delayed power to other circuits. The unit also has integrated self-diagnostics, automatic testing/starting, and computer/modem link capability. The standby power unit may include a system that automatically detects a power outage and engages to generate electricity for the structure. A messaging unit may also provide an alert when the power generation unit is activated. In addition, dial-up access to the message unit may be provided to activate or deactivate the standby power generation unit. A timer module may be included to selectively activate and deactivate the unit.
