A system and method for synchronizing a remote generator to a bus, whether or
not
power from the bus is available at the generator. The system includes: a first
clock at a host site; a host timing processor for determining the time of a synchronizing
event; a communication channel for transmitting the time to a remote site; a second
clock at a remote site synchronized to the first clock; and a remote timing processor
for receiving the time of a synchronizing event, comparing the time of the event
to the time of a similar event at the generator, and adjusting the speed of the
generator to synchronize the generator to the bus.
