Backup power is not enough.
For critical facilities — hospitals, industrial plants, utilities, and data-driven infrastructure — the real requirement is coordinated, seamless generator integration.
Generator paralleling systems are not simply about connecting multiple generators. They are engineered control platforms that manage load sharing, synchronization, redundancy, and system stability during grid loss or transition events.
When properly designed, they ensure continuity.
When improperly integrated, they introduce risk.
A properly engineered paralleling system:
• Synchronizes multiple generators
• Manages load sharing and balancing
• Coordinates utility-to-generator transitions
• Maintains system stability during outages
• Prevents backfeed and protection conflicts
This requires more than switchgear selection.
It requires protection coordination, control logic integration, and compliance with UL 1558 / UL 891 standards.
Across the industry, failures typically occur due to:
• Improper protective device coordination
• Inadequate arc-flash consideration
• Controller incompatibility
• Poor communication integration between switchgear and generator controls
• Insufficient planning for future expansion
These are engineering problems — not product problems.
At Blackstar Diversified Enterprises ® (BDE), our role is not limited to equipment supply. As a certified electrical systems integrator, we design, fabricate, integrate, and modify generator paralleling and medium voltage distribution systems for mission-critical applications.
Through partnerships with leading manufacturers including:
• SAI Advanced Power Solutions
• WEG
• JST Power Equipment
• Sparkstone Electrical Group
• Niagara Power Transformer
• Tesco Controls
we support custom-engineered configurations tailored to site requirements, protection studies, and long-term performance goals.
In high-demand environments, generator systems must:
• Transition without voltage instability
• Maintain frequency control
• Avoid nuisance trips
• Coordinate with SCADA and monitoring platforms
• Support modular expansion
Resilience is engineered — not assumed.
Paralleling systems should be designed with scalability, compliance, and serviceability in mind from day one.
We support utilities, municipalities, industrial facilities, and infrastructure operators across the Continental United States and South America by delivering:
• Custom paralleling switchgear configurations
• Medium voltage distribution integration
• Control system alignment
• On-site commissioning coordination
• Compliance-focused system modification
The objective is simple:
Build systems that hold under stress.
If your project involves multi-generator integration, medium voltage distribution upgrades, or mission-critical resiliency planning, BDE provides engineered system integration aligned with compliance, safety, and long-term performance.
