1. A system comprising:
a generator set comprising an engine, an output terminal for outputting electrical power, and an intake blower coupled to an intake of the engine having one or more sensors configured to output data representing at least one of oxygen levels and methane content;
a load comprising two or more sub-loads, wherein each of the sub-loads is structured to be selectively coupled to the output terminal for receiving electrical power; and
a controller that is communicably coupled to the generator set, the controller comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing one or more sequences of computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute:
determining a number of sub-loads within the load;
recursively monitoring the output data from the one or more sensors;
determining which of the sub-loads to connect to balance output power of the generator set to the load based at least on the output data from the one or more sensors; and
controlling respective electrical connections of the determined sub-loads to provide electrical power to the determined sub-loads.
