Temperature management for throttle loss recovery systems

A method of operating a turbine assembly generating electrical energy in response to a bypass fluid flow influenced by an orientation of a flow control valve, the method comprising:

• operating the turbine assembly to deliver the electrical energy to a vehicle electrical system;
• monitoring a temperature associated with the turbine assembly;
• and
• automatically adjusting operation of the turbine assembly to dissipate at least a portion of the electrical energy when the temperature is less than a threshold.

A method of operating a throttle loss recovery assembly generating electrical energy in response to a bypass fluid flow influenced by an orientation of a throttle with respect to an intake fluid flow, the method comprising:

• operating the throttle loss recovery assembly to deliver the electrical energy to a vehicle electrical system;
• detecting a potential icing condition;
• and
• automatically adjusting operation of the throttle loss recovery assembly to dissipate at least a portion of the electrical energy in a manner that increases generation of heat at the throttle loss recovery assembly in response to detecting the potential icing condition.
