Hey dont feel bad or be sorry JD, it takes time for even an electrical engineer to understand all this !!! When I was a farmer and mechanic type before I studied and practiced electrical engineering I likewise didn't get it all either..
SURE, if a genset is configured as a SEPARATE DERIVED SOURCE IT REQUIRES A GROUNDING ELECTRODE
But if NOT and youre tied to a utility the Neutral MUST BE FLOATING
