Narrative:
We are covering the route from ZZZ to ZZZ1 with 2 passengers and 2 crew on board for a total of 4 souls on board. With 5;100 lbs. Fuel on board; which is enough to fly 4 hours. Our flight was for 2 hours 5 minutes.gen 1 off bus.prior to start the decent we had an abnormal vibration with no cas message associated. Fifteen minutes after that we proceed to the QRH page engine abnormal checklist. This aircraft doesn't count with a vibration engine indicator. After doing the checklist the vibration still there. We continued our flight monitoring the systems and we didn't have any abnormal indication in the airplane systems. After this we got a cas message indicating gen 1 off bus which took us to make QRH procedure. After following the checklist took us to shutting engine number 1 to secure the engine. We [advised ATC] and we decided to continue to ZZZ1. Before landing we did QRH procedure one engine inoperative approach and landing. Once we landed safely we taxied to [FBO ramp].what we learned as crew about this situation is that the aircraft would have an engine vibration indicator this with helps to detect the origin of the vibration earlier.
