Claim:
1. A system, comprising: at least one engine operable to generate a power output in response at least in part to an operator power request and sensed parameters from a sensor; an engine control subsystem configured to control operation of the at least one engine; an electrical power subsystem including at least one electrical power device that is operable to demand electric power during operation of the at least one engine; and a controller connected to the engine control subsystem and to the electrical power subsystem with a system data bus, wherein the controller is configured to determine an anticipatory electric power demand of the at least one electrical device based on current operating conditions and provide control signals to the engine control subsystem to control the at least one engine to generate the power output to meet a total power demand, wherein the total power demand includes at least the anticipatory electric power demand and a nominal power demand based at least in part on the operator power request, and wherein the controller is configured to initiate compensation for the anticipatory electric power demand prior to the at least one engine receiving an increased demand for power output.
