Abstract:
1. A transient response system, comprising: a power source operable to generate a power output; a transmission operatively coupled to the power source; a generator operatively coupled to the power source; and a controller in communication with the generator and at least one of the power source and the transmission, the controller operable to receive at least one input having a value indicative of a change in load on the power source and operable to cause the generator to remove power from the power output at a rate corresponding to the value of the at least one input and in such a manner to dampen transient power loads applied to the power source by removing less power from the power output in response to an increase in load on the power source; wherein the at least one input includes a signal corresponding to a fluid pressure of the transmission.
