A system and method for managing electrical power generated by an engine
for use in connection with operating a hybrid energy off highway vehicle
load control system. A load control circuit determines a current
operating condition of the Off Highway Vehicle, and determines a
corresponding target operating condition of the Off Highway Vehicle The
load control system determines a difference between the current operating
condition and a target operating condition to identify transients. The
load control system delivers power from the power source to a energy
storage for an initial period after a transient condition is identified
and then delivers power from the power source to source to the traction
motors to propel the Off Highway Vehicle. The load control system also
retrieves to power from the energy storage to assist in propelling the
Off Highway Vehicle.
