Abstract
Systems and methods include operating a power system in a first state, and detecting an anticipated load increase. The systems and methods further include changing operation of the power system from the first state to a second state upon detection of the anticipated load increase.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- operating a power system in a first state;
- detecting an anticipated load increase;
- changing operation of the power system from the first state to a second state upon detection of the anticipated load increase.
A system comprising:
- an input configured to receive an anticipated load increase indication;
- a controller in communication with the input and comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing logic for controlling a power system, the logic comprising:
- instructions for identifying an anticipated load increase;
- instructions for operating the power system in a first state prior to identification of the anticipated load increase;
- instructions for operating the power system in a second state upon identification of an anticipated load increase;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the logic.
5 more elements
A system comprising:
- a power source connected with a vehicle;
- a load anticipation unit that detects a parameter associated with the vehicle;
- a controller that controls an operation of the power source;
- wherein the power source is inactive before an anticipated load increase is identified;
- wherein the controller receives the parameter and identifies an anticipated load increase based on the parameter;
- wherein the controller controls the power source to operate in an offline mode when the anticipated load increase is identified.
