Engine warm-up bypass control

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• receive a request to increase power to a load,
• wherein the load is powered by a first engine of a plurality of engines;
• identify a second engine, of the plurality of engines, to provide supplemental power to the load;
• determine that a temperature of the second engine satisfies a threshold,
• wherein the threshold indicates that the second engine is to undergo a warm-up operation before the second engine is to provide the supplemental power to the load;
• determine, based on an analysis of a load requirement of the load, that the warm-up operation is to be bypassed to permit the second engine to instantaneously provide supplemental power to the load;
• cause the second engine to perform a startup operation;
• and
• cause, in association with the startup operation, an output of the second engine to be electrically coupled to the load to cause the second engine to provide the supplemental power to the load before the temperature of the second engine reaches the threshold.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of engines;
• a monitoring system configured to monitor the plurality of engines;
• and
• an engine controller configured to:
• determine that power to a load is to be increased,
• wherein the load is configured to be powered by one or more of the plurality of engines;
• determine that an engine, of the plurality of engines, is configured to provide supplemental power to the load after a temperature of the engine satisfies a threshold,
• wherein the threshold corresponds to a warm-up operation of the engine being completed;
• determine, from a measurement of the monitoring system, that the temperature of the engine does not satisfy the threshold;
• obtain, via an operator interface, an authorization to bypass the warm-up operation of the engine;
• and
• bypass, based on obtaining the authorization and based on an analysis of a load requirement of the load, the warm-up operation for the engine to permit the engine to provide instantaneous power to the load.
