Claim 9:
10. A power delivery system comprising:
a turbocharger assist device mechanically connected to a turbocharger, the turbocharger operably coupled to an engine and configured to compress air for combustion within the engine;
an inverter configured to electrically connect the turbocharger assist device to a primary bus that receives electric current generated by an alternator; and
one or more processors operably connected to the turbocharger assist device and configured to operate the turbocharger assist device in a motor mode in response to a monitored value of an operating parameter being in a first range, the turbocharger assist device in the motor mode configured to receive electric current from the primary bus via the inverter and generate torque for rotating a rotor of the turbocharger,
the one or more processors configured to operate the turbocharger assist device in a generator mode in response to the monitored value being in a second range that does not overlap the first range, the turbocharger assist device in the generator mode configured to generate electric current based on rotation of the rotor of the turbocharger, and the inverter supplies the electric current to the primary bus.
