METHOD AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE CODE FOR UNCOUPLING POWER CONTROL OF A DISTRIBUTED POWERED SYSTEM FROM COUPLED POWER SETTINGS

摘要

A method for powering a powered system having a first power generating unit where power settings for the first power generating unit are decoupled from power settings for a second power generating unit, the method including developing a power operating plan which is independent of a coupled power setting, and determining a power setting responsive to the power operating plan. A computer software code operable within a processor and configured to reside on a computer readable media for powering a powered system having at least a first power generating unit where power settings for the at least first power generating unit are decoupled from power settings for at least a second power generating unit is further disclosed.
