METHOD FOR OPTIMIZED FUEL EFFICIENCY, EMISSIONS OUTPUT, AND MISSION PERFORMANCE OF A POWERED SYSTEM

摘要

A method (800) for operating a diesel powered system having at least one diesel- fueled power generating unit, the method including evaluating an operating characteristic of the diesel powered system (802), comparing the operating characteristic to a designated value to satisfy a mission objective (804), and adjusting the operating characteristic to correspond to the designated value with a closed-loop control system that operates on a feedback principle to satisfy a mission objective (806).
